Which is not found in the history books taught in Muslim schools
===========
From about a century and a half, specifically in 1845, one of the largest famines in modern history began ... the famine of Ireland ..
Ireland relied on potatoes as a single source of feed and when it suffered a mysterious, timely pest, it eliminated production in Ireland, where potatoes are no substitute for food.
Tens of thousands of Irish people died within a few weeks of the start of famine.
The famine lasted 7 years. By the end of the year, the Irish population was reduced from 8 million to 6.5 million
Sultan Abdulhamid intervened and Queen Victoria, then Queen of Britain, offered £ 10,000 or food aid to save the victims, but she rejected the offer altogether
In early 1847, the Sultan decided to act alone on his Islamic motives for relief. In May 1847, he secretly sent ships laden with both grain and crops, docked at the Irish port of Droidhed, unloading cargo and saving tens of thousands of lives.
The memory of generations in Ireland has preserved the Islamic beauty generation after generation. Every father tells his son that a Muslim captain came to order and saved the population from starvation.
