You spent a great deal of pages in another thread arguing with Muslima about how Islam encouraged concubinage. If that was true, it would mean women were not respected or valued in Arab society. In societies where women are undervalued, they generally do not achieve success and status. Again, it shows Khadijas status was unusual, not the norm.

I also don't remember arguing with Muslima, I think she recused herself from the discussion early on.  I took pleasure in taking on the poster who claimed - against all readily available evidence - that concubines were freed if they became pregnant. That is false. They were freed after the owner died, and only if the owner recognized the child as theirs.  Co-ownership of concubines occurred so it wasn't a done deal that the child belonged to the owner.  The owner also had complete freedom in recognizing the child or not. In any case, manumission upon the death of owner - not pregnancy, as falsely claimed - is well documented. [/quote]

Bring the documentation.[/quote]
Look here for sources http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/90/410170.page#5687504

I should note you never brought any sources concubines were freed upon pregnancy.[/quote]

I did but you did not read carefully. Go back and reread.[/quote]
Nope, you brought a bbc link that says "upon death of owner".  I also brought multiple fiqh books. What did you bring? "My entire understanding of Islam".  That plus two bucks would buy a cup of coffee. Not one person reading that exchange thought you made a good argument, you know. [/quote]
