Islamic Slavery‘‘had her washed and clothed… and lay with her.’’ Once his desire was sated, ‘‘he inhumanly, in great haste,<strong>forced</strong> her away out <strong>of</strong> his presence,’’ added Brooks. 783On another occasion, Anthony Hatfeild, a British consul to Morocco, narrated the fate <strong>of</strong> an Irishwoman, taken captive aboard a ship in 1717. She was brutally tortured for refusing to convert. Failing toendure the torture, she gave in and became a Muslim and entered the sultan’s seraglio. 784 In 1723, father Jeande la Faye and his brother went to Morocco hoping to free the French captives from Moulay Ismail’s palace.He narrated the story <strong>of</strong> a female captive, who—upon her refusal to convert to Islam—was tortured sobarbarically that she died <strong>of</strong> her injuries. ‘‘The blacks (guards) burnt her breasts with candles; and with theutmost cruelty they had thrown melted lead in those areas <strong>of</strong> her body which, out <strong>of</strong> decency, cannot benamed,’’ wrote father Jean. 785Let us return to Pellow’s <strong>conversion</strong> to Islam. A ceremonial peasantry was thrown for hiscircumcision formally confirming his <strong>conversion</strong> to Islam. Whilst recovering from the painful wounds <strong>of</strong>circumcision, es-Sfa continued beating Pellow because <strong>of</strong> his refusal to wear Muslim garbs. Pellow finallygave in and donned the Muslim dress. Es-Sfa now continued punishing Pellow for his obstinate persistence toremain a Christian. The news <strong>of</strong> Pellow <strong>conversion</strong> reached the pious sultan; delighted, he ordered es-Sfa torelease Pellow from his custody and send him to a madrasa for learning Arabic. The prince ignored thesultan’s instruction and continued torturing Pellow. This defiance infuriated the sultan, who summoned es-Sfato his presence and at the sultan’s beaconing, his bodyguards dispatched es-Sfa instantly—a treatment, neitherfirst nor the last, meted out to his <strong>of</strong>fspring. 786The sultan was, however, no kind guardian <strong>of</strong> his captives. The slaves <strong>of</strong> the imperial palace lived ahorrid life. They were accommodated in a military prison-like compound surrounded by high ramparts.Although the compound was large, the large number <strong>of</strong> inmates made living very uncomfortable. It was themost barbarous place in the world, said British captive John Willdon <strong>of</strong> the living condition and treatment <strong>of</strong>the slaves in the imperial palace. Willdon and his slave-mates were ‘‘<strong>forced</strong> to draw carts <strong>of</strong> lead with ropesabout our shoulders, all one as horses,’’ he wrote. They were beaten and whipped until their skin was raw,and made them to carry ‘‘great bars <strong>of</strong> iron upon our shoulders, as long as we could well get up, and up toour knees in dart, and as slippery that we could hardly go without the load,’’ added Willdon. 787British ship Captain John Stocker, captured in the sea and brought to the sultan’s palace, left anaccount <strong>of</strong> the horrible diet served to slaves. They were given ‘‘nothing but one small cake and water for 24hours after hard work’’ and ‘‘I am in a most deplorable condition,’’ he wrote to a friend in England. Of theliving condition in the slave-pen, he wrote, ‘‘[I] live upon the bare ground, and [have] nothing to cover me,and [am] as lousy (louse-infested) as possible.’’ Thomas Pellow’s crewmates in the slave-pen were given anold straw mat and they slept bare on the cold ground. The compound was infested with fleas and cockroaches.In midsummer days, the slave-pen used to get oppressively hot, humid and airless. In the open slave-barrack,‘‘they are exposed to the scorching heat <strong>of</strong> the sun in summer, and the violence <strong>of</strong> frost, snow, excessive rainand stormy winds in winter,’’ wrote Simon Ockley. 788The daily food ration was fourteen ounces <strong>of</strong> black bread and an ounce <strong>of</strong> oil, badly inadequate forthe overworked slaves. The bread was made from stinking barley dough, which sometimes gave ‘‘such anauseous smell that a man could not endure it at his nose,’’ wrote captive John Whitehead. Moreover, when783.

Islamic Jihadthe stock <strong>of</strong> barley ran low, they were given nothing at all. Willdon wrote, ‘‘we have not had a bit <strong>of</strong> breadallowed us for eight days…’’ 789More terrifying was the unbearable load <strong>of</strong> hard work and torture, which the slaves endured at thehands <strong>of</strong> the black guards appointed to oversee them. These slave-drivers drove them at daybreak torespective works, where they continued toiling until it got dark in the evening. They played the master overtheir charge <strong>of</strong> captives and used to take sadistic delight at torturing and beating the poor slaves and makingtheir life as miserable as possible. They would <strong>of</strong>ten torture or torment the white slaves to amuse themselvesby making the exhausted souls walk at night or do filthy works. They would punish them for the mostnegligible lapses in work or other mistakes, by denying them food or beating them with a heavy cudgel thatthey always carried while on duty. In beating, they chose those parts <strong>of</strong> the body, where it would hurt most,wrote Pellow. If a slave was beaten so hard that he could not work, the slave-drivers enabled him for work by‘‘redoubling the stripes, so that the new ones made him forget the old,’’ wrote Mouette. 790Sickness <strong>of</strong> the slaves was no excuse for missing work. They were not allowed to rest ‘‘till they(black guards) see they are not able to wag hand or foot…,’’ wrote Mouette. As for treatment <strong>of</strong> sick slaves,‘‘If the slaves complained <strong>of</strong> any pains in their body…, they have iron rods, with buttons <strong>of</strong> the same metal atthe end, as big as walnuts, which they made red hot and burn the wretched patient in several parts,’’ addedMouette. The sultan had no mercy for those, who fell ill. Instead, he used to beat them for not working hardenough. When the building program was once delayed because <strong>of</strong> illness <strong>of</strong> a large number <strong>of</strong> slaves, theslave-guards, upon the sultan’s order, dragged the sick slaves out <strong>of</strong> the infirmary to the sultan’s presence.Seeing that the sick slaves could not stand on their feet, the infuriated sultan, ‘‘instantly killed seven <strong>of</strong> them,making their resting place a slaughter house,’’ wrote Brooks. 791On his daily visit to the construction sites, Sultan Moulay Ismail was merciless with those, who wereslack in work or if their quality <strong>of</strong> work was not to his satisfaction. While inspecting bricks on one occasion,he found them too thin. The angry sultan ordered his black guards to break fifty bricks on the head <strong>of</strong> themaster mason. After the punishment, the blood-soaked slave was thrown into prison. On another occasion, thesultan accused a number <strong>of</strong> slaves for producing mortar <strong>of</strong> inferior quality. The enraged sultan struck theirheads one by one ‘‘with his own hands and broke their heads so miserably that the place was all bloody like abutcher’s stall.’’ 792There were other endless kinds <strong>of</strong> punishment, slaves suffered in the sultan’s palace. Once, a Spanishslave walked past the sultan, forgetting to remove his hat. The angry sultan threw his spear at the poor slave,which pierced deep into the flesh. The poor slaved took it out <strong>of</strong> his skin and returned to the sultan to berepeatedly stricken by it into his stomach. There was another punishment, frequently meted out to a slave,called "tossing"; three or four black guards, upon the sultan’s order, ‘‘taking hold <strong>of</strong> his hams (thighs), throwhim up with all their strength and, at the same time, turning him round, pitch him down head foremost,’’wrote Pellow. The horrible punishment <strong>of</strong>ten broke their neck or dislocated shoulders. This spectaclecontinued until the sultan ordered them to stop. 793Underfed, malnourished, overworked and living in horribly unhygienic condition in the slave-pen,disease and sickness was daily companion <strong>of</strong> the slaves. Plagues were a frequent visitor. With little medical789. Ibid, p. 93790 Ibid, p. 105791. Ibid, p. 96–97792. Ibid, p. 106793. Ibid, p. 107227
