Jesus Christ recognized this (i.e. slavery) institution as one that was lawful among men, and regulated its relative duties. ... I affirm then, first (and no man denies) that Jesus Christ has not abolished slavery by a prohibitory command; and second, I affirm, he has introduced no new moral principle which can work its destruction."

Annunaki: It's not news that muslims are leaving their God forsaken islamic countries to seek greener pastures in the blessed christian western countries. This is actually a testament to the failure of islam that muslims have to seek to relocate to kaffir lands for them to be better off. But make no mistake about it, islam is going to the West to die as more and more muslims are openly renouncing islam in the west were the evil apotasy laws cannot be practised. You have to remember that we are now in the information age and all the evils of islam, mohammed and allaah hidden from the public for centuries are now all over the internet, muslims are becoming more aware that islam is a satanic cult and are more at liberty to renounce islam in the west.
So whilst you are busy celebrating islamic migration to the west (which you mistake for growth), just know that islam is going to meet it's final waterloo there. The Westerners are not sleeping and this documentary tells you that they are already aware of the danger islam portends so you can be rest assured something is already being done about it.
"[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts." Jefferson Davis, President, Confederate States of America
"The right of holding slaves is clearly established in the Holy Scriptures, both by precept and example." Rev. R. Furman, D.D., a Baptist pastor from South Carolina.
"I give my daughter, Joyce Falkner, present wife of John Falkner, of the county of Fayette and State of Virginia, a negro girl by name of Gemima otherwise called Mima. I give her to the above Joyce together with said Mima's increase forever and for the only use of the said Joyce, to will and dispose of as to her seemeth fit, hereby revoking all other claims of right or title to the said Gemima alias Mima of her increase forever." The 1791 will of Toliver Craig, disposing of his assets (and children of his assets) in the event of his death.
Muafrika2: First, everybody in Europe identified themselves as christian in those days. And you are right to use the word "religion". Anyone can be religious.
Secondly, it happened like this; Christian missionaries were at times under threat so they wrote back to their countries for provision of security. Or protection. Their mother countries took advantage of it by establishing posts, and later, protectorates, by the permission of African Kings and chiefs.
Third, judge people individually, and according to their fruits. There is obviously a certain expectation you have of Christians, those are the fruits.
In new Zealand australia tasmania they massacred the black it was a holocaust
Video made by a Christian group. I've seen pics and videos of Churches turned into Masjids. If anyone wants to challenge me on this I'll gladly put up pics n vids no stress.
I remember something menk once said I'll never forget. He said you think you're killing time, but time is killing you. That lecture was about making most of your time.
analice107: I know that you know, that allahh is Satan, he already knows his end because judgement over him has been carried out already, but you still have a chance. What I see with you muslims now is a matter of pride. Pride is a Satanic vise. Pls repent. Allahh is Satan.
I'd rather die a slow painful agonizing death then be christian.
Joshthefirst: Sorry, but I'm not talking about the OP, but your reply to it.
You said in your first reply that anyone who enters paradise does so based on Allah's mercy alone, and I ask what the basis of Allah's mercy is. You have said he can do anything he wants, yes, but as far as he has chosen to be a just God, then he must punish evil, not have mercy on it. Just Judges don't go about having mercy on convicted murderers and felons.
So is Allah a just judge or not? The demands of Justice must be met, and evil must be punished.
I recommend learning more about Islam. I only say this because of the question you asked.
Depends was the country colonized and exploited to get the euro centric christians rich. Did the country have an American backed gov over throw ie. Iran 1953. Does your country have an American installed and or backed puppet. Has the country sold it's soul to thee IMF. Does the country take payola to not critique a certain " country " while suppressing its populace. These and other factors I feel can be contributers and root causes.
Remember it takes 4.1 earths for every man woman and child to live the so called American dream.
TruthHurts1: The statement you posted is 100 per cent inconsistent with Islam. My guess is that it is one of the ocassiona liberal fatwas (religious edicts) that some islamic clerics issue from time to time to appease the sensibilities of non-muslims like you and I, particularly after muslims have carried out some egregious act that is very much in the public domain. I wouldn't be surprised if this particular fatwa emerged sometime after the Cologne sexual assaults by thousands of muslim men on non muslim women.
YourMain: Lol. The problem with humans practicing a religion is they'll always add their own " twist" that's never meant to be there.
I can also argue for tens of thousands of men who treat their women like queens because of the same religion they follow. So what ? Are they not following the religion ? Syrian culture and Islamic religion are completely different thing. What happened to her cannot reflect a whole religion. It's like me saying Hitler is Catholic and he killed loads of Jews. Is that what the bible teaches ? No. Unless you're willing to give me Quran passages where it is okay to do such.
