I've know and more importantly understand a couple of things about Islam too. I know how it rolls. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am not a true believer in liberalism or whatsover.

And the term and concept of a specific "Islamic Slavery" I have not encountered anywhere before NSG. Slavery in islamic or muslimic countries both contemporary and historical sure? But a specific concept thereof? No.

Regardless, I have said everything I have to say. I leave it to others to continue here.

Same here! Sadly, freedom and equality are concepts that are considered haraam in Islam.

All men are created equal, amen to that. The only part you missed is that all men are created equal...and FREE.

I know this one by heart.

Article 1. All men are created free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

I’m quoting from memory, so there might be a couple errors, but it’s still such a beautiful statement. I can see why it’s still one of the most translated sentences in human literature.

I never encountered that term before you mentioned it.

I was more talking about the concept, not the actual wording.

As a religion, Islam is fundamentally centred around the fulfilment of carnal desires; sex, conquest etc. To that end, it is no suprise that slavery is accepted as a fact in Islam. Unlike Christianity, and to the best of my knowledge, Islam does not really believe in the concept of people being created "free and equal".

EDIT: Though, as far as I am aware, slavery was very rare in the medieval Muslim world.

I for one welcome a speedy return for the institution of slavery.

Well yes, it may've been bad for many that were used as labor under it, but would you say that it was a necessary evil at any point in history? The sugar plantations in Haiti for example (prior to its revolution) was said to be so lucrative and profitable that the French were quite saddened to lose it.

That is no excuse and it is sickening they did it. Still, the Muslim Empires of West Africa had slavery(albeit much different and less evil), and introduced the concept, as well it was an extension of Christian europe's feudalism institution, ironic as that is.

Slavery as a concept is still awful and pathetic, White people especially show they especially are not to be trusted with slaves.

If it was profitable, people must've kept it alive for a time for this reason.

Again, not a excuse.

Slavery bad. Labor as a way of paying back a legally noted debt is acceptable with the appropriate care to civil and human rights given.

I will not debate further on this basic aspect of human decency.

Indeed he says he supports Tahrir Al-Sham and Ahrar Al-Sham which are both Al-Qaeda affiliated groups in Syria.
