EBook: Slavery From Islamic and Christian Perspectives

I agree with you eaglecap that slavery in Islam was no less brutal, but i must insist on two point:

1. In Islam slavery was permitted but not loved, actually there is no difference between any Muslims slaves or free, rich or poor etc... Islam placed Direct and efficient ways to fight slavery, If you know the Great Islam then you sure have the knowledge that between many great deeds in Islam that ALLAH the All Merciful grants great blessings on is freeing a slave, a tied neck as expressed in the Holy Quran, many of the sins that Muslims do can be forgiven by freeing a slave....so Slavery in Islam was not forbidden from the first time, and actually that's the way the Great Islam uses to Stop Ancient evil Traditions, I mean the wine wasn't totally forbidden until the people understood and absorbed the Faith in their hearts, in three different positions in the Holy Quran you'll Find three verses gradually ending the wine, and with such style the laws Islam placed slavery was supposed to end, because if you calculate it the sins forgiven by freeing a slave is small and almost everyone falls in, thus by time with the new slaves from the conquests all slaves would eventually be freed.........the Great Prophet Mohamed ordered the Muslims in a direct language "your slaves are your brothers placed under your hand by the Will of ALLAH, so feed them from what you eat, and dress them from what you wear, and never to give them job over their powers and if you did then help them in it"   that's how the prophet Mohamed saw the slaves as our brothers..... and another thing In Europe was ended by social and political conducts but In the Great Islam we have what will as i said eventually kill slavery which is a stain in human history .........which leads to my second point ..........

2.not because some ignorant and stupid people understood the Great Islam Wrongly and acted upon it with their own free will that that will mean that Islam is responsible for every single mistake they do, i mean for example Timur lank is considered a great Islamic conqueror in the world history, but he attacked Islamic kingdoms and destroyed many cities and slaughtered many people how come he is an Islamic Conqueror, he is just another conqueror to me ......... Al Qaida Is to you a terriost organization what do you think it is to us ?.......... many people in history were called Mujahdeen and were considered but they killed Innocent and unarmed people that's not Jihad, for the last time and please try to read this with an open mind Jihad is a defensive Mechanism aims to defend the Muslims and when others wedge war on us we won't give them the chance to attack first, Its about the initiative in war, as for all the conquests that you may describe as Islamic Jihad is nothing but Royal conquests to widen the kingdoms, Its very rare to find a real Conqueror who actually fights In the Way Of ALLAH........so to sum it up any war wedged by Muslims is not considered Jihad Its considered a conquest, unless the others start the calling for war against Muslims Muslims has no RIGHT to attack...I'm not denying that there were shameful acts in the midst of all these wars but so as the others we are Humans and we fight like humans and in the end all kills all.........

so in the real end and I'm talking to the Muslims here, stop doing things in the name of Islam which you only want, specially those that the Islam forbids, because as we have learned that anything a Muslim will do will be framed to the Islam, specially the wrong acts......thanks for your time...........

Originally posted by kaznder Oh and by the way I totally forgot about this point, in the Islamic countries there is no such thing as slavery and if some people were discovered to actually buy and sell humans they will be punished by the law, ......but generally on the public level there is nothing called slavery in our countries
