[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an excellent explanation of slaves and concubines and how Islam required they be treated.

Remember, slavery and having concubines was accepted practice throughout history. Islam systematically eradicated it.

Then why were Muslim countries the last to outlaw slavery?[/quote]

Mauretania still has slavery. There's a good piece in this week's New Yorker about it: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/08/freedom-fighter.

The problem is that nobody can find a Mauritanian Islamic jurist who will say that slavery actually goes against the Quran.[/quote]

Oh, so now its not proof from the Quran that you seek. Its an Islamic scholar. And not just any scholar. Only a Mauretanien Islamic scholar will suffice. You are full of shit.[/quote]

The post you're quoting clearly says both that:
(A) there is ample support for slavery in the Quran ... since you missed it and didn't read the article, this is why no Mauritanian scholar will come out against it,
(B) slavery still exists in MAURITANIA today.... Again, since you missed it, this is why the article's MAURITANIAN anti-slavery Muslim hero says HE wants a MAURITANIAN scholar to condemn slavery. Not me--the Muslim dude wants a MAURITANIAN scholar to condemn slavery.

So no reason for you to get all scatological and abusive. And talk about not reading other peoples' links, you clearly haven't read the New Yorker article about slavery in MAURITANIA.

Signed, a PP you called a Christian-evangelical-racist-Islamophobe who serves burnt food to her husband who is about to divorce her, and with an academically failing kid who is into drugs and porn (see the other Islam thread for these gems). And counting....[/quote]
