[quote=Anonymous]From Muslima's post of 8/28 23:04:

[quote=Muslima]
But as it aimed at putting an end to such issue, Islam laid down rules which would eventually lead to eradicating the practice. [b]So it allowed Muslims to have intercourse with slave women taken as captives of just and legitimate wars. [/b]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]

This sure reads as though Muslim victors  can rape female captives. The female captives would be freed if they bore the rapist's child, or had relatives wealthy enough to ransoms them.  Pity the barren captive woman with impoverished (likely after losing a battle to Muslim conquerors) woman....

Male slaves are freed if they convert to Islam or are ransomed, again if they are lucky enough to come from wealthy families.
