One of the leser told stories is that of the history of Arab slave traders and their African slaves. Whilst the West has put the vileness that was slavery behind it along with overt racism, much of the Arab world has not. Here's an example from Libya...

People with their hands bound are shown being locked in a zoo-like cage and forced to eat the old Libyan flag. ­"Eat the flag, you dog. Patience you dog, patience. God is Great," screams a voice off-camera.'
