Re: Ghulami
I feel bad to put it this way, but if you really go through whole Bukhari, you will come out shivering of all the atrocities that you may read about. The real history of Islam does not paint a picture as glorified as we were made to believe.
I take Islam, not as a revolution, but just an adjustment of lifestyle of people within the Arab culture. The culture itself was very cruel and cutthroat type. Slavery was one of the aspect of that culture. Like many other things that Islam did not touch - it did not alter much of this practice either.
