I said: "The institution of slavery is NOT evil."
Says the AFRICAN AMERICAN from the 21st century
And that has to do with what again? lol
The way my people were treated in America during the transatlantic slave trade was an example of abuse inside the institution of slavery. Other people had slaves and didn't treat folk like that. In fact, the abuse was so strong that it came to define the slavery itself, while under Islam it was very different. Look at this:
"The Mohammedan religion, disregarding all adventitious circumstances, seeks for the real man, neglects the accidental for the essential, the adventitious for the integral. Hence it extinguishes all distinctions founded upon race, color, or nationality. “I admonish you to fear God,” said Mohammed to his followers, “and yield obedience to my successor, although he may be a black slave.” And, therefore, throughout the history of Islam, in all countries, race or “previous condition” has been no barrier to elevation. Frequent are the instances in which proud Arabs have submitted to the rule of aliens, even if those aliens were Negro slaves. Mr. Talboys Wheeler, in his History of India, speaks in the highest terms of Kutb-ud-din, the first of the “Slave Kings” in the Mohammedan dynasty in that country, and classes him among the four Sultans whom he thinks the only ones deserving of remembrance in the course of three centuries. One of the most distinguished of the Mohammedan rulers of Egypt was Kafur, “a Negro of deep black color, with a smooth, shining skin,” who rose to be Governor of Egypt, from the position of a slave. He had shown himself equally great as a soldier and a statesman. His dominion extended not only over Egypt, but Syria also; and public prayers were offered up for him, as sovereign, from the pulpits of Mekka, Hijaz, Egypt and the cities of Syria, Damascus, Aleppo, Antioch, Tarsus, etc." ~ Edward Wilmot Blyden; Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race (written in 1888, Blyden was a Christian missionary who studied Islam as a rival faith that he considered more successful than Christianity in its efforts to convert the African natives)
Let the record show that under American slavery, no slave would have EVER...
