Actually that's highly arguable. Christian slavers often as not bough their slaves from Muslims. Slavery was a common feature of Islamic societies from the beginning of Islam and continued in some until well into the twentieth century.
Which part is highly arguable? because in this country - and that's the ONLY country I've referenced, it is an entirely fair statement. Even if you are nit picking the fact that baptist ministers themselves didn't pull African natives from their houses doesn't change the fact that Christians were willing accomplices to slavery. Exactly what is your point? Christians are innocent and I'm full of shit??? Once again you've chosen the guilty side. I half expect Godsdump to give you another kudos, or at the very lease that liar Mehmet. I have emboldened the words that need be payed attention to in order to bolster my point :
Christians are the MOST guilty of hauling Africans out of their homes, putting them in chains, beating them, raping them, separating them from their families and then going to church on Sunday and thanking their good Lord for those privileges.
What about those words are not accurate? Keep in mind that I have from the OP been talking about the USA.

There's no need to talk down to me, I know what tu quo-que means.
Are you implying that I have owned or have ever condoned the ownership of slaves?? If not, what are you implying? Being white makes me guilty? Exactly what is it you are trying to say with this argument.
