This tweet just shows that you know absolutely nothing about Islam. You're just like thhe likes of Sam Harris who gives claims without quoting the Quran. You won't ever quote the Quran or any primary source material coz youre a biggot. Forst of all ملك اليمين or "what your right
hand possesses" is not the same as sex slaves. When muslims went to war, they were not allowed to kill or hurt women or children. Women and men who are in the fighting army were held captive after the war, just like how any army in the world would do. They were either enslaved by
the muslims in theor houses (not the same as slaves in the coloquial sense of the past centuries who were whipped and beaten) and the women who men were allowed to have sex with were either اهل الكتاب or the ones who accepted Islam. They usually did so after seeing how the
muslims politely treated them. So then they were allowed to live with muslim men "preferably the ones who are not married" and they were then allowed to have sexual intercourse. They were not forced to do so, they had an option of مكاتبة which I'll explain later. Islam treated
those who are held captive even better, as they were allowed to be set free if they meet certain conditions, which I'll also come to later. Secondly, If you know anything about the Islam, you'd know that one of the objectives of the religion is doing away with the institution of
slavery. The mechanism by which and through which the religion has attempted to do this was an incremental gradualist method. It was not an instant abolition, and we know from human history that when abolitions are attempted, just like how America attempted to do this with
alcohol, people rebel against it very quickly. If something as deep and as economically important as the institution of slavery is interwoven into the economic fiber of a certain society, its not possible to just suddenly remove it. So in other words, what Islam came with was an
incremental method using different methods, and of them is zakat or giving charity (If you know anything about Islam you'd know this). Because in surat al tawba, there are about 8 or 9 things mentioned in the verse which talks about zakat, and one of them is "وفي الرقاب". Or, the
people who are enslaved. So since zakat was one of the five pillars of Islam, and this particular pillar must continue until the day of judgement, a certain amount of money has always been designated for the freeing of slaves. Another method is the method of مكاتبة which is
explicitly stated in the Quran. Which is where you literally have someone who is enslaved, and then they themselves say to their slave owner that they want to be freed, and ransom themselves. So then if this particular servant, because they are not really slaves in the
colloquial sense, things such as racial slavery has never been there in Islamic history. They are basically servants, because at that time they did not have any prisons, so such servants were put into homes, but if that particular person demands مكاتبة, they MUST be freed
according to تفسير القرطبي which is the most prevalent opinion among scholars And even if the owner declines this, the servant can go to a judge and forcefully be liberated. So I would argue that Islam is the ONLY ancient system which allowed for the freedom of enslaved people.
There is nothing else in the history of man that went out of its way in order to get people out of the shackles of slavery and getting freed. But you wouldn't know this, and you wouldn't quote anything fron the Quran because youre just, with all due respect, an islamophobic bigot
Here's a book you can read that elaborates more on this issue. Next time, at least have a bit of backgorund info before challenging us.
