Muhammad owned slaves:
"allah's apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called anjasha, and he was driving the camels" http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/073.sbt.html#008.073.182
“…'aisha further said, "once the prophet was screening me and i was watching the display of black slaves in the mosque and ('umar) scolded them.”
Almost all Muslims recognize this, but in a conversation with westerners, try to add things like "yes but he freed the slaves too" or "islam ended slavery".
As we know, Muslims today still enslave people, particularly in Africa, as they have since the time of Muhammad.
The key thing people miss with this analysis is the very foundation of Islam itself > Muhammad. Islam is essentially the claim that Allah sent Muhammad to be the last and everlasting example for humanity. This is why Muslims grow long beards and wipe their rear-ends with their hands, because Muhammad did so and this is Allah's roadmap to heaven, Muhammads conduct
