Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
Slavery is a vital component to Mein Koran and Islam. This is one reason amongst many why the Meccan moon cult is irreligious. Christianity frees a person from bondage, slavery and levels society. We are all equal in front of God. It matters not if you are rich or poor. A religion such as Christianity will promote free-will, rationality, faith through reason and the liberation of the mind, body and soul. It will demand equality in justice and in society at large and expect a person to do unto others as they would have done to them. Charity, forgiveness, welfare and health care are outcomes of a religion.
Not so with Muhammad’s cult. It is banal, primitive, aggressive, and devoted to slavery in many forms. The Musulman is the slave of the Al Lah or moon idol of Mecca. Women are the slaves of men. Whites and non-Muslims are slaves of the Umma or cult of Muhammad, forever in a house of war, until subjugated and enslaved, or forced to convert (a golden age for modern quackademics). Non Musulman women are to be taken by ‘the right hand’ as sex or domestic slaves, answerable to their male Musulman masters.
Muhammad possessed and traded in slaves. He also had 15-20 sex concubines arranged and presented for his erotic pleasures. Have a read of Mein Koran to see how it venerates slavery in the image of its mad founder.
4:036: Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor), the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful;
There are about 420 pages in the Koran. The word 'slaves' appears on 226 of them. The word ‘slave’ in the singular, is found on 109 pages. Together 'slave' and 'slaves' are found in 335 pages or in about 80% of the Koran. At the verse level these terms comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. It does appear that the moon deity of Mecca or ‘The Lord’, the Al-Lah, approves of, and is concerned with submission (Islam) and 'slavery'.
Sura 4 reviewed here, is rather obsessed with knavery. ‘Only’ 30 % of the Sura preaches hate and violence against the Infidel. A large part of the rest demands submission to Muhammad. Since Muhammad is the only human possessor of 'truth' your role in life is to follow, obey and never deviate from Koranic totalitarianism. Be a good slave:
Islam promotes slavery. The enslavement of non-Moslems, Whites, Blacks, Hindus and Buddhists is an animating and important feature of Muhammad's cult. 10-15 million Blacks were transhipped north from Black Africa to the Moslem heartlands. This is the same number of Whites taken by Moslems from 630 AD to 1900 AD. Even in Koranic theology there is much discussion about the slaves. Sura 4:3 and 24 discuss polygamy, marrying young girls and sex-slave girls.
4:025 is quite explicit: And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess, and Allah has full knowledge about your Faith, you are one from another. Wed them with the permission of their own folk (guardians, Auliya' or masters) and give them their Mahr according to what is reasonable; they (the above said captive and slave-girls) should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boy-friends….
The Koran has some rather odd and pre-iron age rules relating to compensation around freeing slaves and paying blood money, if a believer is murdered by mistake. This is a text that one would expect to find in an early iron age culture:
4:092: It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be given to the deceased's family, unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing slave (is prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money - Diya) must be paid to his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allah. And Allah is Ever AllKnowing, AllWise.
The above ‘law’ is truly barbaric. If a Moslem kills another Moslem by mistake, the criminal can get away with the murder by freeing a sex slave and paying some blood money. Now that is justice! Such 'laws' inform Sharia and provide more than a mild discomfort for the Marxist-Moslem multi-cult, who whine that Moslem 'law' is the same as Western law. Late bronze age codes around blood money and slave sacrifice have nothing to do with modern jurisprudence.
In any event slavery, which is not a part of any 'religion' worthy of the name, but certainly a distinctive feature of mindless cults, is a major theme within the Koran and Islamic history. Perhaps the pious post-modern can explain how slavery is freedom, and sex concubinage female equality.
