Slavery is wrong.
Most people today agree, that is except for much of the Islamic world. The reason why the vast majority of the Islamic world doesnt believe slavery is wrong is because Muhammad owned slaves.
Many people get this issue confused. For example, people who arent intelligent enough to understand the implications often say "Ohh Christians had slaves, lots of em!" or "everyone had slaves, big deal".
Let me clarify for people who arent very bright. In Islam, EVERYTHING Muhammad did stands as the perfect standard of human conduct for all humans to model...forever (that includes today and tommorow). Muslims take this very seriously, ever wonder why they grow beards or wipe their "end" with their bare hand...yep...its about modeling Muhammad to please Allah.
So the reason why you will sooner find theJimmy Hoffa than find a Muslim who condemns slavery outright, is because Muhammad owned slaves, as Muslims still do today.
