I wonder how a darkie like you would have done during that period of time. Would you have been accepted as an equal or treated like an Cabiid :?
Lol@ darkie. That sounds like a chocolate bar. Abdiwahab, my low self-esteem friend, I would have expected to be better treated since I am a muslim and a somali to boot. If anyone would undermine my status, I would have behead him on the spot. I am not like your kikuyu friends who were physically and mentally beaten into slavery.

Muhammad bin Tughj, the founder of the Ikhshidid dynasty of Egypt, bought Abu al-Misk Kafur as a slave from Ethiopia in 923. He is recorded as having a dark complexion and being a eunuch. Recognizing the slave's intelligence and talent, ibn Tughj freed him.[2] The story goes that Kafur was freed because he kept his eyes fastened upon his master, while others kept their eyes on the master's gifts. Thus, historian Philip Hitti notes, Kafur would be generously rewarded for such loyalty.[3]

Ibn Tughj appointed Kafur to be the supervisor of princely education for his two sons. The Egyptian ruler then promoted Kafur as a military officer. As a field commander Kafur conducted a military mission to Syria in 945. He was put in charge of some campaigns in the Hejaz. Kafur was involved in some diplomatic exchanges between the Ikhshidids and the caliph of Baghdad.[4]

Kafur became the de-facto ruler of Egypt in 946. (Since al-Misk was the guardian of bin Tughj's sons, al-Misk ruled in their stead upon the death of their father.) He died in Cairo and was probably buried in Jerusalem. Though subsequent historians have portrayed him as a just and moderate ruler, he owes a great deal of his fame to the scathing satirical poems directed against him by Al-Mutanabbi, the most famous Arab poet.

Abdiwahab, I can see it is hard for you to understand personal freedom and pride. That isnt suprising though, you people having a history of being footsoldiers. :down:

Dawwa, the book is prohibitively expensive on Amazon. I don't understand how the new units sell for 90 plus dollars? I need to find out how later printed editions are different from the Original one as well. A book for basic computational skills shouldn't be prized as this high. The price Made me curious though. Must be of some value.

I picked this book 3 months ago. I haven't had a chance to finish it. Long live Madiba :up: Any John Grisham fans here? I'm looking forward for his next legal thriller whenever it comes out.
