Slavery and Islam (the truth)

Non-Muslim Writers on Slavery in Islam
Taken from The Wisdom Fund

Annemarie Schimmel in "Islam: An Introduction" Slavery was not abolished by the Koran, but believers are constantly admonished to treat their slaves well. In case of illness a slave has to be looked after and well cared for. To manumit [free] a slave is highly meritorious; the slave can ransom himself by paying some of the money he has earned while conducting his own business. Only children of slaves or non-Muslim prisoners of war can become slaves, never a freeborn Muslim; therefore slavery is theoretically doomed to disappear with the expansion of Islam. The entire history of Islam proves that slaves could occupy any office, and many former military slaves, usually recruited from among the Central Asian Turks, became military leaders and often even rulers as in eastern Iran, India (the Slave Dynasty of Delhi), and medieval Egypt (the Mamluks). Eunuchs too served in important capacities, not only as the guardians of the women's quarters, but also in high administrative and military positions. -- p. 67

Since all 5 major schools of fiqh, islamic juristprudence in the sharia and, mohammed took and sold slaves and he is their ``perfect man.`` Muslims support the institution of slavery.

[Harunrasheed05]

@Cudoine Slavery is supported every where in the world prison systems are a denial of freedom i.e. slavery and the majority of slaves owned by Muhammad pbuh were criminals or the property of criminals who had attacked and killed civilians i.e. enemy combatants and they were not water boarded or tortured and they could be freed at any time (HQ 24:33) You want to compare that to what America's founding fathers did to Africa? NO CONTEST!

What malaysia has to do with slavery???he should show Saudicks Arabia flag instead.

[Harunrasheed05]

@TheKestevon Malaysia stole that flag from Betsy Ross but there is a large human trafficking ring there because of the Muslim Indonesian maids your government sells to the Chinese....lah.

[bravoaya]

Btw... Why on Earth do you have a Malaysian flag in the background? Is it because of the cresent moon and the star? Do you even know it is that flag?

[Harunrasheed05]

@bravoaya I re-uploaded all these videos on this channel none of them are mine. My pic is in the profile but I am sure all Blacks look alike to you anyway.

@Harunrasheed05 Please read a bit of history, Islam was trading in slaves 6 centuries before the Europeans and they were actually the '' wholesalers'' of slaves to the west, do some research please, time to stop blaming each other, work with facts. BLESS YOU.

[peterg7200]

@islamicdefender I think you are missing my point, please show me scripture from the Bible where JESUS condones slavery or even had any slaves. I think you should read a bit of history and the Koran, there are a few Surahs allowing slavery, by the way I have a few Muslim friends and dodn,t judge them, each to their own. MAY JESUS BLESS YOU. Cheers.

@islamicdefender Another thing, mohammed the liar, established the patern of behaviour for muslims, the koran says he is the one to follow, and the cunt is well recorded raping, murdering, torturing prisoner, stealing, and enslaving people it would seem that in their murders muslims follow his example to the letter, deffinately the spirit.

I don't have a problem with unislamic actions by muslim, it's when muslims act like mohammed the liar we have problems.

[Cudoine]

@islamicdefender Sopcken like a true fantasist deep in denial, most often people writing histories involving muslim and islam these days utilize muslim sorce material. An example the Hindu genocide committed during the islamic invasions the revealation of the murderous brutality employed by muslims is established by reference to muslim chroniclers, who were giddy with how many polytheists their master's armies raped and mudered.

[Cudoine]

@Harunrasheed05 Prisoners are not property to be bought and sold, fucking moron.

[islamicdefender]

@peterg7200 If Jesus freed why have more slaves been taken in his name than any other? If you insist on holding Muhammad responsible for every Muslim we must hold Jesus responsible for the actions of every Christian.

[islamicdefender]

@Cudoine Muhammad was dead when North Africa was colonized and he is not responsible for the un-Islamic actions of any Muslim. I think Europeans who try to write Islamic history from Europe are the ones in a fantasy.:!

[peterg7200]

You seem to do a lot of wingeing and whining, time to stop blaming the whites for all your shortcomings. Africans are prisoners of their own minds and in my opinion are more racist than whites, get over slavery its finished as is apartheid and read a bit of white history....proud to be white....JESUS LOVES YOU CALL ON HIM

[peterg7200]

You keep bullshitting yourself if it makes you happy, us Christians are getting tired of trying to drag the blacks and muzzies into the 21st century, Africas infrastructures were built by so called colonizers, look at it now one big shithole, most destroyed, begging bowls go out to the west for afew to rape and pillage,,,,ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN SAVE YOU Bless Africa

[Cudoine]

@islamicdefender You really are not that smart or can't read, nevewr said muhammed the liar entered Europe, said muslim raided (barbary pirates) Europe for slaves said muslims raided Europe for slaves for years taking is estimated over a million, didn't stop till European powers colonized north Africa. You have a fantasy view of islam's history pure fantasy. Find all you can about the non-muslim story and try to refute it without resorting to muslim fantasy.
