Bill Warner does a good job of blending fact with fiction. But he highlighted an issue or two which I think needs more attention. Europeans being taken as slaves by Arabs is not something that is often talked about (Africans suffered way worse at the hands of Arabs, mind), so appreciated that at least. I am so glad Arabs don't have Mamluk in widespread numbers anymore (I guess al-Saud's henchmen in Iraq and Syria could be considered Mamluk). And given the history of Saqaliba, I think the Eastern Europeans do have a right to be bitter.
al-Saud uses people who perpetuate the victimhood narrative in the West (like DawahMan) to drive naive Westerns to go into Iraq and Syria to be Mamluk. Like lambs to the slaughter. al-Saud's henchmen are modern day Mamluk.
