The whole paying compensations to pagan husbands of wives who fled to Madina to seek refuge and support from Muslims there was limited to those who fled from Makkah. As you mentioned a few pages back in this thread.
if I remember correctly, and I will re-check, the verse did NOT specify Mecca, but I wouldn't think Muslims would have returned believing women fleeing other regions.
These women were not slaves but refugees and were considered such because they fled Makkah.
My dear, they were NOT slaves but refugees because they converted and escaped to Medina, like the Muhajireen.
But again, you're missing the point: The point is FUCK THEIR PAGAN *husbands*! Why pay the pagan husbands anything at all? Why not just stick out their tongues at them? if *supposedly* Muslims were allowed to rape the wives of pagans, then why be so courteous as to *PAY* the pagans any money at all?
And that's where the buck stops because as I said, these women were from the same city and often the same tribe as the Muslims who did Hijrah so they were considered equals, and you forget that Makkah was still technically at war with Madina.
So you're saying the Muslims were nice enough as to *PAY* the pagan husbands the money they gave their wives because they were relatives?
Was the same 'compensation' done for the Jews of Madinah, Khyber, and other non-Muslim non-Qurayshi tribes? No.
the *details* of what happened to those are in Hadith/Sira... according to these sources, all of the Jewish tribes were exiled, except one: Qurayza, whose men/young boys were massacred and women and little ones enslaved. I of course don't believe that... I believe that only the conspirators of Qurayza were kille/captured an the rest were exiled with the other Jewish tribes.
Tribalistic imperialism as I said. Slavery is evil and Islamic slavery is no different.
remember, they were *PAYING* pagan men the money they lost on their wives... they didn't have to do that.
Islam never forbids slavery. It turns a blind eye to it.
Actually it sanctions it (with recommendations at emancipation and such).. The issue here whether *non-combatants* were allowed to be enslaved or not. The Hadith/Sira accounts contradict... you can either look to the Pact of Umar as the real example of how Muslims done this or any other example... everyone is entitled to their biases.
