Re: When did the state of Palestine exist before the Jews took over their country?
The question is, are you actually serious, or have you totally lost it? Muslims, including the prophet and companions, were involved in the slave trade for centuries. So when did Islam declare slavery as unlawful? Post Quran? Post Muhammad? No, not until 1962 in Saudi Arabia.
Slave trade? As in selling and buying slaves as a business practice...?
Seminole, your mindset is so predictably anti-Islamic...As you wrote that after a greatly hurt and bruised ego, did you even bother to read what you wrote? That is what I'd expect from any redneck living in the swamps of Louisiana with his TV tuned to Fox...
You are so far from reality that just to start off basics with you about Islamic civilization would require pages and pages on this forum...You are so backward with your knowledge, that to discuss slavery in Islam with you is not even an option...
You are so backward, that I for one throw in the gauntlet and tell you to keep believing your sources of information i.e. Fox and CNN...They are a great source of historical knowledge regarding Islam and Muslims as far as yourself is concerned...
And even if someone were brave enough to try and impart even a little knowledge to you, based solely on historical and religious texts and figures, what difference would it make? 3+ years of being on this site, amongst Muslims, hasn't taken the sting and venom against Muslims and Islam out of you, even the slightest, I doubt any amount of information will...
Trust me...For you, western media is the best source of information about Islam...You'd simply disbelieve other sources and it will bring more bile to your Islamophobia...I suggest Fox news...
Oh, and BTW, your country's founding fathers were avid slave traders...If I find an account of what Jefferson wrote (I heard it on NPR the other day) about blacks, you'd be amazed at how much he hated blacks...
Will find it and post it later on...
