In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

“Human beings, we created you all from a male (Adam) & a female (Eve, Hawaa), and made you into nations & tribes so that you may know one another. Verily the noblest of you in the sight of Allah (God) is the most God–fearing of you. Surely God is All-knowing, All-Aware.

Surah number 49 “Al-Hujarat”, Verse number 13

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

“O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam)

He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women; fear Allah through

Whom you demand your mutual (rights) and do not cut the relations of the wombs (Kinship). Surely,

Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.”

Surat An-Nisa (The Women), Verse 1

Modern Racism*

• Began in Spain (15th Century), where Christians were divided into old & new.

1. Old Christians: “had purity of blood”.

2. New Christians: converted Jews.

On biological grounds, Jews & later Muslims, were declared incorrigibly inferior. They were excluded from mainstream Spanish society.

Edition, pp: 598–623

In the New World

• Spanish conquerors brutalised & enslaved the local populations to mine for gold. Their justification came from some theologians who declared that Indians lacked rationality & morality and therefore were in Aristotelian terms “Natural Slaves”

Page 21: 1. 2 Human Civilization Muslims contribution to Medicine & Healthcare Mamdouh EL-Adl Consultant Psychiatrist mamdouh.eladl@nht.northants.nhs.uk

Paracelsus: a famous Physician

22

Pope Paul III

In 17th century, transatlantic slave trade was developed with the following rationalisations

A. Religious

B. PhilosophicalC. Scientific

Page 25: 1. 2 Human Civilization Muslims contribution to Medicine & Healthcare Mamdouh EL-Adl Consultant Psychiatrist mamdouh.eladl@nht.northants.nhs.uk

25

A. Religious

• Blacks (many British referred to non-white persons as black) supposedly were cursed by God as descendents of Ham, an Old Testament biblical figure who saw his father naked*.

* Favazza A (2005): Contribution of the Sociocultural Sciences, in Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry edited by, 8th Edition, pp: 598–623

Page 26: 1. 2 Human Civilization Muslims contribution to Medicine & Healthcare Mamdouh EL-Adl Consultant Psychiatrist mamdouh.eladl@nht.northants.nhs.uk

26

B. Philosophical

• Dave Hume: only white persons are capable of creating civilized nations & of producing ingenious manufacture, art & science.

• John Locke (English Physician-Philosopher) supported the degeneracy theory: “the white European is the normal natural state of human beings & other races developed through biological and psychological degeneration”

Page 27: 1. 2 Human Civilization Muslims contribution to Medicine & Healthcare Mamdouh EL-Adl Consultant Psychiatrist mamdouh.eladl@nht.northants.nhs.uk

27

C. Scientific

• Scientists noted that:- White was the true colour of nature.- Degenerative process found in non-whites.- This degeneration might be reversed by exposure to

European culture.- Non-white were deemed to be psychologically flawed &

unable to rule themselves as demonstrated by the ease with which European colonialists subjugated vast areas of the east.

- As late as 1963, a British historian stated that, although black Africans have darkness, only European have history in Africa.

In USA (19th Century)

• Samuel Morton (Professor of Anatomy): claimed that cranial capacity of skulls was unchanged for 3000 years, was largest for whites, followed by Asians, native Americans & Africans.

American Psychiatry

• Drapetomania: a term coined by an American Psychiatrist to describe slaves & cats who had irrestrainable propensity to run away from their masters.

• In 20th century, American Psychiatrists published articles in prestigious Journals demonstrating that lower rate of mental illness among slaves compared to free blacks i.e. slavery protected the mental health of blacks because of the supervision they received.

• A study in 1914 concluded that: negro mind is irresponsible, unthinking, easily aroused to happiness and rarely experiences depression*.

* Favazza A (2005): Contribution of the Sociocultural Sciences, in Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry edited by, 8th Edition, pp: 598–623

Page 31: 1. 2 Human Civilization Muslims contribution to Medicine & Healthcare Mamdouh EL-Adl Consultant Psychiatrist mamdouh.eladl@nht.northants.nhs.uk

31

USA

• The founding fathers of US wrote a constitution & a bill of Rights proclaiming that all men were created equal & have the right to pursue happiness. Yet slavery was common at the time in Northern & Southern states.

Page 32: 1. 2 Human Civilization Muslims contribution to Medicine & Healthcare Mamdouh EL-Adl Consultant Psychiatrist mamdouh.eladl@nht.northants.nhs.uk

32

Healthy Cultures*

• Healthy cultures have the capacity to change their social patterns in response to new ideas, desires and technologies.

• Change may come: - Gradually especially when many of the perceived

inferior group members come to believe that they are truly inferior.

- Rapidly with forceful rebellion and civil war.
