SunniPath, what about the ShiaPath? Most of us Sunnis and naturally forget
the existence and therefore the political rights of other muslims, like
Shias and Ahmadiyas. A case in point is the war in Iraq. The Sunnis
(minorities) were in power for most of our modern history and actively
oppressed the majority Shia and Kurds. Now the majority (Shias and
Kurds)are in power the Sunnis turn to terrorists killing innocent Shia
children and women. They accuse the west of atrocities against Muslims in
Iraq, even though the majority of the people are being killed by Sunni
Muslims.
My point is that slavery is against all that Islam stands for, the test:
Kul Huwa Alluhu Had! There is only one God! Slave and master is like God
and mankind, and therefore Sirk to say slavery is allowed but regulated in
Islam.
