But as it aimed at putting an end to such issue, Islam laid down rules which would eventually lead to eradicating the practice. So it allowed Muslims to have intercourse with slave women taken as captives of just and legitimate wars. In so doing, the woman would automatically become free if she got pregnant. What's more, her child would also become free. Not only that, Islam also ordered a Muslim to treat the slave woman in every respect as if she were his wife. She should be well fed, clothed and given due protection. In the family environment, she had the opportunity to learn about Islam and was free to accept it or reject it. She also had the opportunity to earn her freedom for she could be ransomed. [/quote]

Let me make sure I understand: when Muslim soldiers capture a village, they are free to rape the kaffir (non-Muslim) women there, per the Quran. If a woman falls pregnant with the child of her rapist, she is lucky (in a relative sense) because she will be freed. If she fails to become pregnant, then she is screwed figuratively as well as literally, and remains a slave.

This does not sound like "asylum" as you called it in your post of 10:27.  Also, I'm not clear on how this would "eradicate" slavery, given that you said at one point above that a slave's children are also slaves, and also because wars continue to this day with their opportunities for more taking of prisoners of war.

I'm interested in the reform movement involving people like Irshad Manji. What's your take on people like her?[/quote]
