'The slave who becomes a concubine is considered like a wife, and the word for concubine in Arabic actually comes from the word for marriage'.
oh well ...that's OK then.
Ummm - like it or not Falah....you and your kind live in the past.!
I can't bring to mind ANYTHING to do with slavery in my culture.... except IT IS BANNED.
I know the loathsome practice continues in this best of all worlds,
but for you to respond to FD's q's in such a way is a wake-up. I actually believe there are people of faith who see more clearly, the teachings of their creed. You are not one of them...
Banned but not abolished. There are twice as many slaves in the West today as there in the Midle East.The BBC tells us that there are 660,000 slaves in the West, only 360,000 in Middleast and north Africa.

Banned but not abolished. There are twice as many slaves in the West today as there in the Midle East.Now I personally have no knowledge of the subject, other than what I have gleaned from immersion in society. I DO KNOW the enslavement of women continues, ...on ALL continents.

We are so COMPLACENT!!!!!!!!!!
Typical aussies. She'll be right mate.
Take e.g - lateral example.
A couple/few people camping on the banks of a far NQ River, have their camp obliterated by salt-water crocs,. native and endemic to the region/- at least one dead, and one un-accounted for,-- the surviving not-so happy campers , express their shock and fear.!!
