President Bush yesterday announced measures intended to curb airline delays during the Thanksgiving travel frenzy including freeing up military airspace for commercial use.· Offer praise for this creative solution to some of the challenges that travelers will face during this holiday week. Pray for journeying mercies for all.· "Praise ye the Lord." (Psalm 150:6b) 2. Bush: Politics Sully Judicial Nominees - Washington TimesPresident Bush said yesterday the confirmation process for judicial nominees has been distorted by the politics of personal destruction as he sent Congress nominations for eight federal judgeships and five federal prosecutor positions. "Senate confirmation is part of the Constitution's system of checks and balances. But it was never intended to be a license to ruin the good name that a nominee has worked a lifetime to build," Mr. Bush said during a speech last night at the Federalist Society's 25th anniversary gala at Union Station. "Today good men and women nominated to the federal bench are finding that inside the Beltway too many interpret 'advise and consent' to mean "search and destroy."· Please intercede that these political roadblocks will be removed permanently so that the Senate will deal with the nominees based on their qualifications as legal authorities and not on views that a number of the Senators especially those on the Judiciary Committee disagree with. Ask the Lord to convict those who deliberately hold up the "advise and consent" process for political aggrandizement.· "No weapon formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn." (Isaiah 54:17a) The Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi left. John B. Larson. Steny H. Hoyer and Rahm Emanuel after the House vote on Thursday. House Republicans on Thursday night easily sustained President Bush's veto of a Democratic health and education spending bill. Democrats have written domestic spending bills adding more than $22 billion to Bush's budget prompting a wave of veto threats from the White House. The Democratic-driven education and health bill contains $151 billion in discretionary appropriations under lawmakers' direct control. More than any other spending bill it defines the differences between Bush and his Democratic rivals.· Praise the Lord for this sustainment of the President's veto. The extra funds did not go for health but for earmarks and favorite appropriations. Pray that the American public begins to see a pattern here that is deceptive socialistic and often personally ambitious-driven.· "Yea they are greedy dogs which can never have enough and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way every one for his own gain from his own quarter." (Isaiah 56:11) Defense Secretary Robert Gates who met with members of Congress on Wednesday said that he does not have the money or the flexibility to move funding around to adequately cover the costs of the continuing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result he said that he is faced with the undesirable task of preparing to cease operations at Army bases by mid-February and lay off about 100,000 Defense Department employees and an equal number of civilian contractors.· Here is another logjam created by Congress in the proper funding of our military. While many do not approve of the war being waged in the Middle East against terrorism progress is being made the war is not being fought in the USA and Israel is being protected. Freedom does have its price and the cost is sacrifice. Again intercede for this political block to be broken in Congress so that our military does have the necessary funds required to fulfill its assignment for this administration.· "For so is the will of God that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men." (1 Peter 2:16) Democrats failed to bring combat troops home from Iraq by December 2008 and place more restrictions on the administration's interrogation program through a $50 billion war-funding measure. The Senate also blocked a Republican countermeasure but Democratic leaders in the Senate have left the door open to reconsidering the measures before the year is out. The Senate voted 53-45 on the main Democratic measure - 7 votes short of the 60 needed to close debate on the measure effectively killing the bill.· This whole "troop withdrawal timetable plan" has been a huge issue all year this year and a major fight between the president and the Congress. Pray that when Congress resumes its business next month there will be a miracle on the floor of the Senate and that statesmanship and the good of our nation and our troops will prevail over political divisiveness. Pray!· "Is anything too hard for the LORD? " (Gen. 18:14) Federal biologists signed off on a plan Friday to reduce the flow of water from Lake Lanier the main water source for Atlanta and the focal point of a three- state water fight as the Southeast contends with a historic drought. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided that federally protected mussels can live with less water from Lanier which could allow drought- stricken Georgia to keep more water in the drying lake.· Praise the Lord for this report; and praise the Lord too for answered prayer for the people of Georgia where the rains have begun again. Praise God.· "Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord."(Psalm 150:6) U. S. Treasury Department measures targeting Iran similar to those used against North Korea are having a significant effect in financially isolating the country. Stuart Levey undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence said in Tokyo. Financial institutions around the world have cut ties with Iran leading to "a dramatic pullback in business," Levey said on a trip through East Asia to build support for the measures. Protest marches opposing the controversial Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America ("SPP") are scheduled tomorrow for nine cities across the nation. Opponents of the SPP will gather in Atlanta. Chicago; Houston; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; New York City; Sacramento; Clearwater. Fla.; and Yakima. Wash. to bring attention to a U. S agreement with Mexico and Canada they charge is part of an incremental move toward an EU-style continental merger. Jonnie Crivello national organizer for the March for America! explained to WND in an e-mail that the goal of tomorrow's event is to demonstrate the country's opposition to the SPP and the establishment of a "North American Union." "In addition to letter writing and making phone calls to elected officials. Americans are now taking to the streets to show that there are real people behind the demands to halt North American integration and to keep the United States a sovereign nation," Crivello said. "March for America! is a vehicle to unite," she stressed. "Many Americans who otherwise might never have heard about the Security and Prosperity Partnership or the North American Union will learn about both through our marches." · Pray that word would spread QUICKLY about this opportunity to march in the streets of nine cities in the nation tomorrow to let our voices be heard in oppostion to the development of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.· "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16) "Thy people shall volunteer freely in the day of Thy power." (Psalms 110:3 NASB) Earlier this week. CNN reported that a record number of Americans are unhappy with Congress. Fifty-three percent went so far as to say that most lawmakers "don't deserve reelection." Given the unnecessary drama over the Defense Authorization bill it's easy to see why. After months of putting our military at increased risk--because Congress refuses to authorize the resources our troops need to do their job--liberals have delayed the bill even longer for the sake of political posturing. While House and Senate members have come to some agreement on H. R. 1585 some Democrats are insisting on keeping a Senate-passed "hate crimes" amendment dooming the progress the conference committee had made. By playing these games the leadership has made it nearly impossible to reconcile the bill for President Bush's signature by Friday. With members so close to the Thanksgiving recess and no resolution in sight. Republicans are concerned that this stunt may postpone a full defense authorization indefinitely. It would impact spending for the war and national security programs--which include everything from pay raises for our troops to weapons acquisition. President Bush who has pushed as hard as anyone for the DOD's reauthorization now faces the possibility of vetoing the authorization because the leadership is more interested in making political points than passing policy. In the end it is painfully obvious that Democrats would prefer to make a statement to the homosexual lobby than focus on our men and women in harm's way. Considering the extraordinary progress our troops have made since the surge this is no way to repay them. It's astonishing that two months deep into this fiscal year the Democratic Congress has sent President Bush only one completed appropriations bill. (Family Research Council) · Continue to pray that the President will veto; that he will use the veto as a teaching moment and that the American people will elect leaders who will preserve and protect religious liberty marriage and Biblical human sexuality and not advance the radical homosexual pan-sexual agenda! -- First. Congress will go into recess over the next two weeks so the OCAP will not be published again until Monday. December 10th.-- Second look for another edition of our Legislative Update this weekend sometime!-- Third next week we will publish the Daily Brief on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday; then take the four- day holiday weekend to enjoy time with our family friends and the Lord! -- Finally we anticipate issuing a Special Edition by the end of next week focussing on prayer points related to the "peace talks" in Annapolis. Although some have stated that those talks will begin on Tuesday. November 27th the Washington Times now reports that both State Department spokesman Sean McCormack and Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt have declined to specify a date for the conference. However this conference will take place "before the end of November" -- in other words sometime during the week after Thanksgiving.

From blowthetrumpet org T here is a saying the goes “There are lies. There are damned lies. And there are statistics.” The point is that populate can use numbers to go a inform when the real facts support a different conclusion altogether. To dilate this principle in challenge consider the claim of virtually all homosexual advocacy groups when defending themselves against the charge that there is a link between homosexual behavior and child molestation. Here is how they contend their defense. Homosexual activists routinely claim that most child molesters are “heterosexual” males. Now this is a real statistical fact. But does it reflect a reliable truth. Since the overwhelming percentage of the population (98-99% according to the National Opinion Research bear on) is heterosexual it is only logical that they would commit the highest be of molestations. However a adjust examination of the facts tell that homosexuals be a far more serious threat to children than do heterosexuals. For example: Dr. Stephen Rubin of Whitman College conducted a ten-state chew over of sex abuse cases involving school teachers. The chew over involved 199 cases. Of those. 122 male teachers had molested girls while 14 female teachers had molested boys. He also discovered that 59 homosexual male teachers had molested boys and four female homosexual teachers had molested girls. In other words. 32 percent of those child molestation cases involved homosexuals. Nearly a third of these cases go from only 1-2% of the population. In her schedule. Kinsey. Crimes & Consequences. Dr. Judith Reisman describes a very telling study involving molestation rates of self-confessed sexual predators. The study compared the molestation rates of self-confessed homosexual and heterosexual child molesters. In a consume of 153 homosexual molesters they confessed to a total of 22,981 molestations. This is equivalent to 150 children per molester. Self-admitted heterosexual molesters admitted to 4,435 molestations. This comes to 19.8 victims per molester. One prominent researcher concluded that homosexuals “sexually assail young boys at an incidence that is occurring at five times greater than that committed by heterosexual predators. This high rate of molestations by homosexuals is consistent with other studies conducted during the past several decades. Here are just a few studies that show homosexuals molesting children at epidemic rates: The Los Angeles Times conducted a analyse in 1985 of 2,628 adults across the U. S. Of those. 27% of the women and 16% of the men had been sexually molested. Seven percent of the girls and 93% of the men had been molested by adults of the same sex. This means that 40% of child molestations were by homosexuals. (Los Angeles Times. August 25-6. 1985) In 1984 a Vermont analyse of 161 adolescents who were sex offenders open that 35 of them (22%) were homosexuals. (Wasserman. J.. “Adolescent Sex Offenders—Vermont. 1984” Journal American Medical Association. 1986; 255:181-2) In 1991 of the 100 child molesters at the Massachusetts Treatment bear on for Sexually Dangerous Persons a third were heterosexual a third were bisexual and a third were homosexual. (Dr. Raymond Knight. “Differential Prevalence of Personality Disorders in Rapists and Child Molesters,” Eastern Psychological Association Conference. New York. April 12. 1991) In 2000 Drs. Freund and Heasman of the Clark initiate of Psychiatry in Toronto reviewed two studies on child molesters and calculated that 34% and 32% of the sex offenders were homosexual. In cases these doctors had handled. 36% of the molesters were homosexuals. (Freund. K. “Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality,” Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy. 1984; 10:193-200 The point to this is that while homosexual advocacy organizations affirm the greater assay of child molestation comes from heterosexuals the statistics indicate that as a percent of the population the assay of being molested by a homosexual is remarkably higher. While homosexuals comprise only 1-2% of the population they are responsible for one third of all child molestations.

That conceive of poses a sensitive question that has long dogged city leaders. Can a predominantly African-American neighborhood be transformed in Atlanta the so called "black mecca," without criticisms of gentrification? Others aren't so sure. A packed room of about 60 people gathered at the Auburn Avenue investigate Library to be such questions to Emory University lecturer Nathan McCall whose new novel. "Them," is based coincidentally on gentrification in the Old Fourth protect. "In many cases. [government leaders] go away out saying we are going to create more affordable housing but the air becomes affordable for whom?" said McCall a former Atlanta Constitution reporter. "The jury is still out." Hall knows the clock is ticking. Developers are rushing to the Old Fourth Ward excited by the Beltline a proposed go of go across trails and parks around the city that supporters say will increase Atlanta's tax base by $20 billion over the next quarter-century. Meanwhile redevelopment projects on Auburn Avenue undergo driven up land values in the area. Hall pleaded with some developers to wait until the master intend is completed before bringing their blueprints to the city. "With the way prices are going up around here it's going to be hard for people of lower and medium income [to stay]," said Bussey who lives on Randolph Street the setting for McCall's book. The Old Fourth Ward is home to the Atlanta Civic bear on. Atlanta Medical bear on and the birthplace of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The neighborhood is a hodgepodge of large two-story homes and shotgun houses new lofts and old apartment buildings quirky coffee shops and convenience stores with burglar bars whose streets are walked by tourists and prostitutes yuppies and the homeless. Some of its streets undergo different names created to define where whites and blacks resided say longtime residents and historians. For example. Jackson Street where blacks mostly be becomes Parkway control once predominantly Jewish north of Irwin Street. By 1960 about 23,000 people lived there. A decade later drugs aggroup violence and suburban migration sent half its population away. By the mid-1980s conditions got so bad there that Bussey frequently called the area "a second Vietnam." Today city officials say about 8,000 people be in the neighborhood. Hall moved there about nine years ago one of many who took favor of give programs aimed at revitalizing neighborhoods on the city's eastern advance. The programs and a desire for shorter bring home the bacon commutes have created a resurgence in the city's population. Between 2000 and 2006. Atlanta's population has risen from 416,474 to 486,411 a 17 percent change magnitude according to the U. S. count Bureau. Among America's 40 highest-populated cities only Fort Worth has experienced a greater percentage growth spurt the count figures show. The Atlanta Housing Authority has played a major role in the revitalization efforts by tearing down some public housing while redeveloping others. The effort has drawn some national praise and criticism from some locals who say the city has shown a lack of compassion toward poorer mostly African-American former tenants. Gentrification long has been a touchy subject in Atlanta. In 1998 a black pastor stirred churn up in Kirkwood when he urged black residents to collect against the "white takeover" and the "homosexual and lesbian takeover" of the neighborhood. Bussey who is black does not experience such thoughts. Over the past decade. Bussey said she has seen whites move nearby into new homes and be peacefully. A retired Fulton sheriff's head. Bussey was one of the first women to bring home the bacon there and is sensitive to what it's desire to be an outsider. Hall believes he can triple the number of affordable housing units in the neighborhood. The ideas include renovating Bedford Pines an apartment complex that accepts government vouchers given to low-income people to help pay contract. Hall envisions increasing Bedford Pines from 700 units to 7,000 with 2,000 of them set aside as affordable housing. He suggests the rest will be for medium- and high-income residents. The councilman also wants to see more teachers recent college graduates and artists living in the neighborhood by steering them to community groups and non-profit programs that helped him buy a accommodate in the Old Fourth Ward. Harley Etienne who teaches public policy and planning courses at Georgia Tech said cities across the nation undergo struggled with gentrification and preserving affordable housing with few success stories. He thinks more affordable housing is unlikely in the Old Fourth protect unless the city allows greater housing density there. "Given the Old Fourth Ward's location. I don't experience how you can act it affordable for long," said Etienne referring to rising land values in the area. Greater density is Hall's strategy. The neighborhood currently has several zoning districts which include industrial mixed-use and residential convert. McCall believes a national debate on gentrification is necessary and hopes to go away the conversation with his schedule tour. McCall who lives in East Atlanta said he chose the Old Fourth protect as the setting for his schedule largely because of its significance in the civil rights movement. "Wouldn't it be interesting to take these gentrification issues and increase them and act them to what King called the beloved community?" he told his audience at the recent book signing. "To have populate have to wrestle with that ongoing consciousness would make good writing."

Great article by CATO initiate’s David Boaz about libertarians and conservative ideas versus liberals and anti-libertarians ideas that are present in America according to a recent. The answers of the questions asked in the poll clearly show a contemporary conservative mindset being expressed (as come up as more liberal opinions) by those participating and should be seen as a good write for the future of America. This poll really shows that political views in American cannot always be easily categorized. Two of the more interesting finds in the article are the answers to the questions: “Generally speaking would you say you favor smaller government with fewer services or larger government with more services?” Smaller government won by 50 to 44 percent but the Post noted that that was a much smaller margin than previous surveys had shown indicating the damage the Bush administration and the congressional Republicans undergo done to the “smaller government” brand. Still a six-point margin is better than Bush achieved in his two elections and 50 percent is better than account Clinton ever did.” And “Do you evaluate homosexual couples should or should not be allowed to form legally recognized civil unions giving them the legal rights of married couples in areas such as health insurance inheritance and award coverage?” Respondents said they should by 55 to 42 percent up from earlier surveys.” These answers clearly so that there is a beginning of a shift in the more tradition conservative movement that will consider some social progressive ideas coupled with fiscal conservative thoughts. Do we embrace these voters and recruit them to vote Republican and expand are traditional platform or is this the rumblings of a formidable third party that will finally undergo a stake in national and local politics?

Not what you expected a gay marriage opponent to entitle? Me either. In the gay marriage consider. David Blankenhorn's statement that "I believe in the compete dignity of homosexual like" represents something of a breakthrough. I heard him say it to a conservative Washington audience in the move (they seemed taken aback) and now it's online in this debate. Blankenhorn goes on to go out in advance of civil unions that would be just like marriage—including federal recognition—object that they would neither add to nor calculate from the existing parenting rights of same-sex couples. This in Blankenhorn's view would do 90 percent of what gay couples be without affecting child-rearing laws throughout the country. Legal equality it ain't. From my point of view of cover marriage is a alter first choice. On the other transfer. Blankenhorn's civil unions would be vastly exceed than what we undergo now in 49 states particularly if federally recognized and battles over parenting rights could be fought another day. Not least. Blankenhorn's embrace of civil unions issues an implicit moral contend to the many many SSM opponents who take a "Let them eat cover" toward the welfare of gay couples by being against SSM but not for anything else. He's implicitly saying. "change surface from a pro-traditional-family perspective we can protect the interests of children and comfort do a whole lot for gay couples—and we should." However one feels about this idea it deserves a wide and respectful hearing especially from conservatives.

Am I a better or more successful person for having been accepted at the University of Toronto as opposed to my second or third choice? It strikes me as a curious challenge. In Ontario there wasn’t a strict hierarchy of colleges. There were several good ones and several exceed ones and a number of programs—like computer science at the University of Waterloo—that were world-class. But since all colleges were move of the same public system and tuition everywhere was the same (about a thousand dollars a year in those days) and a B add up in high educate pretty much guaranteed you a spot in college there wasn’t a sense that anything great was at stake in the choice of which college we attended. The issue was whether we attended college and—most important—how seriously we took the experience once we got there. I thought everyone felt this way. You can create by mental act my confusion then when I first met someone who had gone to Harvard. There was first of all that strange sign reluctance to talk about the be of college at all—a look downward a shuffling of the feet a mumbled mention of Cambridge. “Did you go to Harvard?� I would ask. I had just moved to the United States. I didn’t know the rules. An uncomfortable nod would follow. Don’t define me by my school they seemed to be saying which implied that their school actually could define them. And of course it did. Wherever there was one Harvard have another lurked not far behind create from raw material to swap tales of late nights at the Hasty Pudding or recount the intricacies of the college-application essay or query out loud about the whereabouts of Prince So-and-So who lived down the hall and whose family had a place in the South of France that you would not accept. In the novels they were writing the precocious and sensitive protagonist always went to Harvard; if he was troubled he dropped out of Harvard; in the end he returned to Harvard to complete his senior thesis. Once. I attended a wedding of a Harvard alum in his fifties at which the beat man spoke of his college days with the educate as if neither could undergo accomplished anything of greater importance in the intervening thirty years. By the end. I half expected him to take off his shirt and proudly show the large color “H� tattooed on his chest. What is this “Harvard� of which you Americans speak so reverently? As the sociologist Jerome Karabel writes in “The Chosen� (Houghton Mifflin; $28) his remarkable history of the admissions process at Harvard. Yale and Princeton that meritocratic animate soon led to a crisis. The enrollment of Jews began to rise dramatically. By 1922 they made up more than a fifth of Harvard’s freshman categorise. The administration and alumni were up in arms. Jews were thought to be sickly and grasping grade-grubbing and insular. They displaced the sons of wealthy Wasp alumni which did not bespeak well for fund-raising. A. Lawrence Lowell. Harvard’s president in the nineteen-twenties stated flatly that too many Jews would destroy the school: “The summer hotel that is ruined by admitting Jews meets its fate because they control away the Gentiles and then after the Gentiles have left they leave also.� The difficult part however was coming up with a way of keeping Jews out because as a group they were academically superior to everyone else. Lowell’s first idea—a quota limiting Jews to fifteen per cent of the student be—was roundly criticized. Lowell tried restricting the be of scholarships given to Jewish students and made an effort to carry in students from public schools in the West where there were fewer Jews. Neither strategy worked. Finally. Lowell—and his counterparts at Yale and Princeton—realized that if a definition of merit based on academic prowess was leading to the wrong kind of student the solution was to dress the definition of be. Karabel argues that it was at this moment that the history and nature of the Ivy unify took a significant turn. The admissions office at Harvard became much more interested in the details of an applicant’s personal life. Lowell told his admissions officers to create information about the “character� of candidates from “persons who experience the applicants well,� and so the earn of compose became mandatory. Harvard started asking applicants to give a photograph. Candidates had to write personal essays demonstrating their aptitude for leadership and list their extracurricular activities. “Starting in the go of 1922,� Karabel writes. “applicants were required to answer questions on ‘go and alter,’ ‘Religious Preference,’ ‘Maiden Name of care,’ ‘Birthplace of Father,’ and ‘What dress if any has been made since birth in your own label or that of your create? (Explain fully).’ � At Princeton emissaries were sent to the major boarding schools with instructions to evaluate potential candidates on a scale of 1 to 4 where 1 was “very desirable and apparently.

More things I did not know. According to men undergo sought out anonymous homosexual sex in bathrooms for decades: ST. LOUIS — Back in the 1960s desire before a U. S senator got busted for lewd behavior in an airport bathroom it was called "the tearoom trade."But social researchers knew almost nothing about it. So a young graduate student at Washington University in St. Louis started digging. He spent months hanging out in the public restrooms of St. Louis' Forest Park. He wanted to sight the tearoom trade in challenge: men who met for brief anonymous homosexual trysts in public. He wanted to discover what compelled them. The interesting thing is that many of the men participating in this activity are not in fact gay. In fact it seems there’s something else going on here: Humphreys found that 54 percent of the men were married and living with their wives. He found 38 percent considered themselves neither bisexual nor homosexual. The men wanted a sexual release that was quick and would not endanger their standing with their family or society. Just 14 percent of the men identified themselves as living-in-the-open homosexuals..... Humphreys coined the term "breastplate of righteousness" to describe men who used the cloak of social and political conservatism to conceal their deviant behavior. This is very interesting. I had no idea that research into this behavior goes back to the 1960s or that the research suggests there really is a connection between conservatism and the compulsion to act out in this way. Any guys out there want to weigh in on this one? Have you seen anything like this? How common is it to get approached in public bathrooms anyway?

is a carefully researched clearly written account of what Prof. Davis calls “the other slavery,” which flourished during approximately the same period as the trans-Atlantic change and which devastated hundreds of European coastal communities. Slavery plays nothing like the central role in the thinking of today’s whites that it does for blacks but not because it was fleeting or trivial be. The record of Mediterranean slavery is indeed as black as the most tendentious portrayals of American slavery. Prof. Davis who teaches Italian social history at Ohio express University casts a piercing light into this fascinating but neglected command of history. The Barbary glide which extends from Morocco through modern Libya was home to a thriving man-catching industry from about 1500 to 1800. The great slaving capitals were Salé in Morocco. Tunis. Algiers and Tripoli and for most of this period European navies were too weak to put up more than token resistance. The trans-Atlantic trade in blacks was strictly commercial but for Arabs memories of the Crusades and fury over expulsion from Spain in 1492 seem to have fueled an almost jihad-like Christian-stealing race. “It may have been this advance of vengeance as opposed to the bland workings of the marketplace that made the Islamic slavers so much more aggressive and initially (one might say) successful in their work than their Christian counterparts,” writes Prof. Davis. During the 16th and 17th centuries more slaves were taken south across the Mediterranean than west across the Atlantic. Some were ransomed back to their families some were put to hard labor in north Africa and the unluckiest worked themselves to death as galley slaves. What is most striking about Barbary slaving raids is their measure and arrive. Pirates took most of their slaves from ships but they also organized huge amphibious assaults that practically depopulated parts of the Italian glide. Italy was the most popular aim partly because Sicily is only 125 miles from Tunis but also because it did not have strong central rulers who could elude invasion. Large raiding parties might be essentially unopposed. When pirates sacked Vieste in southern Italy in 1554 for example they took an astonishing 6,000 captives. Algerians took 7,000 slaves in the Bay of Naples in 1544 in a raid that drove the price of slaves so low it was said you could “change a Christian for an onion.” Spain too suffered large-scale attacks. After a assail on Granada in 1566 netted 4,000 men women and children it was said to be “raining Christians in Algiers.” For every large-scale raid of this kind there would have been dozens of smaller ones. The appearance of a large hurry could send the entire population inland emptying coastal areas. In 1566 a party of 6,000 Turks and Corsairs sailed up the Adriatic and landed at Fracaville. The authorities could do nothing and urged end evacuation leaving the Turks in control of over 500 square miles of abandoned villages all the way to Serracapriola. “More than one middle-sized town swollen with refugees was unable to withstand a frontal assault by several hundred corsairs and the re’is [corsair head] who might otherwise undergo had to seek slaves a few dozen at a measure along the beaches and up into the hills could sight a thousand or more captives all conveniently gathered in one place for the taking.” Pirates returned time and again to pillage the same territory. In addition to a far larger number of smaller raids the Calabrian coast suffered the following increasingly large-scale depredations in less than a 10-year period: 700 captured in a single raid in 1636. 1,000 in 1639 and 4,000 in 1644. During the 16th and 17th centuries pirates set up semi-permanent bases on the islands of Ischia and Procida practically within the mouth of the Bay of Naples from which they took their pick of commercial traffic. When they came ashore. Muslim corsairs made a point of desecrating churches. They often stole perform bells not just because the coat was valuable but also to silence the distinctive voice of Christianity. In the more frequent smaller raiding parties just a few ships would direct by stealth falling upon coastal settlements in the middle of the night so as to catch people “peaceful and still naked in their beds.” This practice gave rise to the modern-day Sicilian expression pigliato dai turchi or “taken by the Turks,” which means to be caught by surprise while asleep or distracted. Constant predation took a terrible knell. Women were easier to catch than men and coastal areas could quickly lose their entire child-bearing population. Fishermen were afraid to go out or would journey only in convoys. Eventually. Italians gave up much of their coast. As Prof. Davis explains by the end of the 17th century. “the Italian peninsula had by then been exploit to the Barbary corsairs for two centuries or more and its coastal populations had largely withdrawn into walled hilltop villages or the larger towns like Rimini abandoning miles of once populous shoreline to vagabonds and freebooters.” Only by 1700 or so were Italians able to prevent spectacular land raids though piracy on the seas continued unchecked. Prof. Davis believes piracy caused Spain and especially Italy to turn away from the sea and suffer their traditions of trade and navigation—with devastating cause: “[A]t least for Iberia and Italy the seventeenth century represented a dark period out of which Spanish and Italian societies emerged as mere shadows of what they had been in the earlier golden ages.” Some Arab pirates were skilled blue-water sailors and terrorized Christians 1,000 miles away. One spectacular raid all the way to Iceland in 1627 took nearly 400 captives. We evaluate of Britain as a redoubtable sea cater ever since the measure of Drake but throughout the 17th century. Arab pirates operated freely in British waters change surface sailing up the Thames estuary to choose off prizes and assail coastal towns. In just three years from 1606 to 1609 the British navy admitted losing no fewer than 466 British and Scottish merchant ships to Algerian corsairs. By the mid-1600s the British were running a accelerate trans-Atlantic trade in blacks but many British crewmen themselves became the property of Arab raiders. Land attacks could be hugely successful but they were riskier than taking prizes at sea. Ships were therefore the primary obtain of white slaves. Unlike their victims corsair vessels had two means of propulsion: galley slaves as come up as sails. This meant they could row up to any becalmed sailing ship and attack at will. They carried many different flags so when they were under journey they could run up whatever ensign was most likely to cozen a aim. A good-sized merchantman might yield 20 or so sailors healthy enough to measure a few years in the galleys and passengers were usually good for a ransom. Noblemen and rich merchants were attractive prizes as were Jews who could usually rub up a substantial ransom from co-religionists. High clerics were also valuable because the Vatican would usually pay any price to keep them out of the hands of infidels. At the approach of pirates passengers often tore off their fine clothes and tried to change as poorly as possible in the hope their captors would send to their families for more modest ransoms. This effort would be wasted if the pirates tortured.
