What you posted is a pamphlet published by ISIS. It is not a "scholarly work" and is rejected out of hand by the overwhelming majority of Muslims.Originally posted by TykeMerc View Post
Meanwhile, in the Bible…
Exodus 21:
7 When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8 If she does not please her master, who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt unfairly with her. 9 If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. 10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish the food, clothing, or marital rights of the first wife. 11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out without debt, without payment of money.Leviticus 25:20 When a slave-owner strikes a male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies immediately, the owner shall be punished. 21 But if the slave survives for a day or two, there is no punishment; for the slave is the owner’s property.
No doubt you can find cases of people who claimed to be Christian and cited such words in an attempt to justify slavery. Try poking around the southern United States and you'll probably still find a few.44 As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves. 45 You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you, and from their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property. 46 You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property. These you may treat as slaves, but as for your fellow Israelites, no one shall rule over the other with harshness.
If you read the words of zealots, you'll find zealotry, but it doesn't tell you jack tulip about the non-zealot majority; and that applies to any belief system whatsoever.Comment

Koran 23:5-6 looks a little suspicious. The Muslim scholars dance around it but don't reject it like most modern christians do with the more ridiculous parts of the 'good books' I mean the Pope is handing out condoms now!Originally posted by NickFitz View Post
