FD, do you agree with this statement?
Quote:There were also many pious Muslims who refused to have slaves and persuaded others to do so.[82] Eventually, the Ottoman Empire's orders against the traffic of slaves were issued and put into effect.[78]
According to Brockopp, in the 19th century, "Some authorities made blanket pronouncements against slavery, arguing that it violated the Qurʾānic ideals of equality and freedom. The great slave markets of Cairo were closed down at the end of the nineteenth century and even conservative Qurʾān interpreters continue to regard slavery as opposed to Islamic principles of justice and equality."[23]

Islam is a religion and a political doctrine of world conquest.
The Ottoman Empire (an awful lot of padded footrests there, btw) embodied it at its height in the late middle ages but not in its dying days in the 18-20th centuries ( a long decline).
Iran today is a good approximation of what Islam is about. As is Saudi, Brunei, Pakilandistan, Auburn, Islamic State and the like. That secular political powers rule in Muslim countries is a sore point for Islamists.
Islam is fundamentally and unalterably hierarchical about the worth of human beings. Are you with us, sons of Mohammed, or are you with the enemy, the kuffar. The Bush doctrine was pinched from Islam.
