Slavery In Today's World
Q: What is your view on slavery?
A: I am not going to let you race bait me into some trick question. Slavery is not condoned by any Modern society. Oh, wait, that is for every society in today's world except for the Muslim populations and . The Quran and the Hadith, the writings giving guidance and instructions and commandments to the Muslim populations as read and instructed from by the Imams of the Muslim/Islamic faith, support and teach slavery. So, until the world Media and other Human rights organizations take on this present danger toward humanity and abuse of other humans being trafficed as sex slaves and as other taken as worker slaves by many Muslim countires, then all of the jabbering about the past history of slavery in the USA, over which the whole nation went to war with itself to stop, then any answer to your quesiton is a waste of time. Yes, and yes, I am aware that the Bible, the Hebrew/Christian Bible does not condemn slavery, and it does nto condemn employment to companies or individuals either. Also, the Bible does no condemn polygamy either. But, into days world of judgment and condemnations the USA is probably one of the cleanest nations on the face of the earth -- the Western nations, in particular, are practicing the better side of Biblical Morality than all other Muslim and third wolrd nations, PERIOD!
Past history with the Christian movement is gone, past, in the historical past -- today, those nations claiming some connection with Christianity or the Bible do not practice nor condone slavery as conceived by men in the past, but the muslim nations? It was allowed in the past and still today is active, PERIOD. The Hypocrites in the America's political system are liars with little or no moral fiber to stand up against this evil, except, of course countries that have been so shamed that they are fearful of calling these liars out for what they are, liars -- maybe, even, agents of the Devil.
In case you or anyone thinks I am making false charges against the Peaceful Muslims and the religion of peace that supports the rights of other people (said with sarcasm), then go to this link --

Just in case you can't go to that site, here is a little bit of a look at what they have to reveal:
The QURAN Say:
Quran (33:50) - "O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those (slaves) whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee" -- This is one of several personal-sounding verses "from Allah" narrated by Muhammad - in this case allowing a virtually unlimited supply of sex partners. Other Muslims are restricted to four wives, but they may also have sex with any number of slaves, following the example of their prophet.
Quran (23:5-6) - "..who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess..." -- This verse permits the slave-owner to have sex with his slaves. See also Quran (70:29-30). The Quran is a small book, so if Allah used valuable space to repeat the same point four times, sex slavery must be very important to him. He was relatively reticent on matters of human compassion and love.
Quran (4:24) - "And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess." --Even sex with married slaves is permissible.
Quran (8:69) - "But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good" -- A reference to war booty, of which slaves were a part. The Muslim slave master may enjoy his "catch" because (according to verse 71) "Allah gave you mastery over them."
Quran (24:32) - "And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves..." -- Breeding slaves based on fitness.
Quran (2:178) - "O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female." -- The message of this verse, which prescribes the rules of retaliation for murder, is that all humans are not created equal. The human value of a slave is less than that of a free person (and a woman's worth is also distinguished from that of a man).
Quran (16:75) - "Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? (By no means;) praise be to Allah.' -- Yet another confirmation that the slave is not equal to the master. In this case, it is plain that the slave owes his status to Allah's will. (According to 16:71, the owner should be careful about insulting Allah by bestowing Allah's gifts on slaves - those whom the god of Islam has not favored)
The HADITH and Sira Says:
Sahih Bukhari (41.598) - Muhammad establishes that slaves are property. They cannot be freed if an owner has outstanding debt, but they can be used to pay off the debt.
Sahih Bukhari (62:137) - An account of women taken as slaves in battle by Muhammad's men after their husbands and fathers were killed. The woman were raped with Muhammad's approval.
Sahih Bukhari (34:432) - Another account of females taken captive and raped with Muhammad's approval. In this case it is evident that the Muslims intend on selling the women after raping them because they are concerned about devaluing their price by impregnating them. Muhammad is asked about coitus interruptus.
Sahih Bukhari (47:765) - A woman is rebuked by Muhammad for freeing a slave girl. The prophet tells her that she would have gotten a greater heavenly reward by giving her to a relative (as a slave).
Sahih Bukhari (34:351) - Muhammad sells a slave for money. He was thus a slave trader.
Sahih Bukhari (72:734) - Some contemporary Muslims in the West (where slavery is believed to be a horrible crime) are reluctant to believe that Muhammad owned slaves. This is just one of many places in the Hadith where a reference is made to a human being owned by Muhammad. In this case, the slave is of African descent.
Sahih Bukhari (52:255) - To discourage emancipation, Muhammad says that the slave who accepts Islam and continues serving his Muslim master will receive a double reward in heaven. This is better than freedom for both parties, as the master benefits from slave-labor free of consequence, and the slave has the promise of eternal reward over the temporal.
Sahih Muslim 3371 - Muhammad and his men take captive "some excellent Arab women" from the Banu Mustaliq. Their dilemma then becomes that they want to rape the women, but they also want to 'ransom' them, knowing that their captives will be of less value if pregnant. When they ask Muhammad about coitus interruptus, their prophet tells them that it doesn't matter how they rape the women because "every soul will be born" anyway.
Sahih Muslim 3901 - Muhammad trades away two African slaves for one Muslim slave.
Sahih Bukhari 8:73:182 - Muhammad had an African slave acting as his chauffeur.
Sahih Bukhari 9:91:368 - Muhammad had an African slave acting as his butler.
Sahih Bukari 4:53:344 - Aisha learns that Muhammad has acquired slave girls as "booty" and asks for one as a maid.
Sahih Bukhari 7:65:344 - Muhammad kept as slave to act as his tailor.
Sahih Bukhari 2:15:103 - "I was watching the display of black slaves in the mosque..."
Sahih Muslim 4345 - Narration of a military raid against a hapless tribe trying to reach their water hole. During the slaughter, the women and children attempt to flee, but are cut off and captured by the Muslims. This story refutes any misconception that Muhammad's sex slaves were taken by their own volition.
Sahih Muslim 4112 - A man freed six slaves on the event of his death, but Muhammad reversed the emancipation and kept four in slavery to himself. He cast lots to determine which two to free.
Sahih Bukhari (47:743) - Muhammad's own pulpit - from which he preached Islam - was built with slave labor on his command.
Sahih Bukhari (59:637) - "The Prophet sent Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and I hated Ali, and Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, 'Don't you see this (i.e. Ali)?' When we reached the Prophet I mentioned that to him. He said, 'O Buraida! Do you hate Ali?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus.'" Muhammad approved of his men having sex with slaves, as this episode involving his son-in-law, Ali, clearly proves. This hadith refutes the modern apologists who pretend that slaves were really "wives." This is because Muhammad had forbidden Ali from marrying another woman as long as Fatima (his favorite daughter) was living.
Abu Dawud (2150)
- "The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verse: (Quran 4:24) 'And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.'" This is the background for verse 4:24 of the Quran. Not only does Allah give permission for women to be captured and raped, but allows it to even be done in front of their husbands. (See also Muslim 3432 & Ibn Kathir/Abdul Rahman Part 5 Page 14)
Abu Dawud (1814) - "...[Abu Bakr] He then began to beat [his slave] him while the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) was smiling and saying: Look at this man who is in the sacred state (putting on ihram), what is he doing?" The future first caliph of Islam is beating his slave for losing a camel while Muhammad looks on in apparent amusement.
Ibn Ishaq (734)
- A slave girl is given a "violent beating" by Ali in the presence of Muhammad, who does nothing about it.
Abu Dawud 38:4458 - Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: “A slave-girl belonging to the house of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) committed fornication. He (the Prophet) said: Rush up, Ali, and inflict the prescribed punishment on her. I then hurried up, and saw that blood was flowing from her, and did not stop. So I came to him and he said: Have you finished inflicting (punishment on her)? I said: I went to her while her blood was flowing. He said: Leave her alone till her bleeding stops; then inflict the prescribed punishment on her. And inflict the prescribed punishment on those whom your right hands possess (i.e. slaves)”. A slave girl is ordered by Muhammad to be beaten until she bleeds, and then beaten again after the bleeding stops. He indicates that this is prescribed treatment for slaves ("those whom your right hand possesses").
Abu Dawud 1:142 - "Do not beat your wife as you beat your slave-girl"
Sunan Nasai 2:12:1125
- Aisha said, "I noticed that the Messenger of Allah was missing from bed... I thought he had gone to one of his concubines" - Muhammad's wife thought that he had gone to one of his slaves for sex
Ibn Ishaq (693)
- "Then the apostle sent Sa-d b. Zayd al-Ansari, brother of Abdu'l-Ashal with some of the captive women of Banu Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horses and weapons." Muhammad trades away women captured from the Banu Qurayza tribe to non-Muslim slave traders for property. (Their men had been executed after surrendering peacefully without a fight).
Umdat al-Salik (Reliance of the Traveller) (o9.13)
- According to Sharia, when a child or woman is taken captive by Muslims, they become slaves by the mere fact of their capture. A captured woman's previous marriage is immediately annulled. This would not be necessary if she were widowed by battle, which is an imaginary stipulation that modern apologists sometimes pose.
It is not that the Muslims, of the Islamic religion are more evil than others but they are continuing in an activity everyone but drug cartels have abandon as a sin against humanity. Forget about this for a minute and ask yourself -- Why so much hatred toward the United States for something in the past, which the United States has paid for in blood and tears to deliver those enslaved, working to be release the people from such religious tyranny? Make not mistake, this is not Islam only -- the Roman Church, claiming to be Christian and Christianity, have had their day the blood of the innocent and had to be driven back to their hole and out of the affairs of government. The same will have to happen with Islam or it will infect the whole world and humanity will suffer. Why are those whose culture still practices slavery, allowed to become part of the United States political system? The hypocrisy is stifling, beyond belief but continues to this day.
Update, September 10, 2021: The USA has withdrawn from Afghanistan, leaving behind some Americans and billions in military assets, now under the control of those the USA spent 20 years trying to reform. A complete failure, except in one way -- so long as we had troops in that country the USA has not experienced another 9/11. We do not need to go into all of the disgraceful details -- watch Newsmax or Fox News and a couple of other networks for the coverage of embarrassment, under the Presidency of Joe Biden and crime family. What a disgrace. The only good thing is, we are out of there. Still, one has to wonder, Why did the military leave behind all of that military equipment? They had month to move it as they knew we were getting out, whether under Trump or Biden, so why was it left behind?
My guess would be money. If all of this military equipment was brought back to the US what would they do with it? It was already bought and paid for but the upkeep and inventory would mean that the Military manufactures of such equipment would not be doing anything to sell new equipment to our newly, reformed branches. See? Leave that stuff over there and we can sell more new stuff. It is always about the money. You know, Afghanistan would be worth invading just to get hands on all of that military equipment and high technology. Also, something to note -- Afghanistan is not a, One Party rule. Nope, they are tribal, mostly, and there are at least three different factions that could be at each others throats in the near future. Maybe they will implode on their own? Of course, the worst of the worst, is that they now have the means to strike the USA by using some of the military equipment our genius military leaders left behind.
