The following passage describes the sickening practice of sex slavery. How can anyone think it is moral to sell your own daughter as a sex slave?
(Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment.

That is the Torah, and you are right. I can't believe the pics of little girls signing WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!!Hoping Bush would realize that we tore Iraq apart because they may decide to bomb people. Guess it's okay if the Israelis do it.

The passage is not talking about selling your daughter as a sex slave. That's a bizzare interpretation. Get your mind out of the gutter!
The passage is talking about an ancient practice which is unusual to us in modern times because slavery is illegal, but it was a common practice back then, before the Bible. Slavery was not such a bad thing then either. A child could be considered a slave to his or her parents because they do chores in exchange for a place to live... the premise of slavery. Back then slavery was not chaining someone up and whipping them. Therefore a maidservant was a person's daughter, who was allowed to live with another person and perform chores for the master of the house in exchange for a place to live and also with the promise that she would be married to either the master of the house or the man's son.
Yes, by the way, this is a passage that christians today would choose to ignore because it applies to society as it was, not society today. If you don't sell your daughter as a slave then the rules about selling your daughter as a slave don't apply, correct?
So where in the passage does it tell people to sell their daughter as a sex slave? It doesn't! It says "When a man sells his daughter as a slave." The word "When" is a conditional word... not a command...
You tried to make it sound like the christian religion tells you to sell your daughter as a sex slave, but what you don't understand (or don't want to understand) is that the Bible was written a LONG time ago in a different country with entirely different customs. This is just one of many references to specific practices that were normal then and bizzare today. You have to understand the culture of the time in order to properly interpret the writing of the time.

You have a problem here - you need to learn about critical thinking, and not just believing everything that you see on the web or hear at your mosque. The websites listed in your "additional Details" section are so full of misinformation and twisted lies that one hardly knows where to start an argument. All of them are generally anti-Jewish, and try to show that any unpopular leader must be Jewish (that jewwatch one, saying that Lenin was a Jew - HAH!).
A simple reading of some history books at a library would do you so much good. When you get all of your information from either the web or your imam, you are receiving FILTERED information (and a lot may be left out), or you are getting OPINION rather than facts, and the opinion may not be correct. The concept of critical thinking will allow you to identify the facts, and you can then base your life on correct facts rather than incorrect or incomplete information.

The Truth is:
Muhammad did no miracles, and made no prophecies. He did not heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, or rule the wind and the waves. He had no more power than any normal man. Muhammad had sex with a 9 year old girl when he was in his 50's. And he also had sex with captives and slaves. Muhammad had 12 wives. He participated in 9 attacks on innocent caravans/villages himself; and he insisted that 1/5th of the booty from these attacks go to him. Like those who are demon-possessed, Muslim historians report that Muhammad foamed at the mouth during prayers and cringed at even the sight of a cross. Read here
The famous Iranian scholar, Ali Dashti comments:
Moslems, as well as others, have disregarded the historical facts. They have continually striven to turn this man [Mohammed] into an imaginary superhuman being, a sort of God in human clothes, and have generally ignored the ample evidence of his humanity. They have been ready… to present these fantasies as miracles.

Noah's Ark and Mt Ararat - may have been found not in Turkey, but in Iran?
On June 5th, Bible Historian and explorer Bob Cornuke led an expedition of 15 geologists, historians, archeologists, scientists and attorneys on an exhausting mission 13,300 feet above sea level to locate and document the tremendous sections of what is thought to be Noah’s Ark located in the Ararat mountain range six hours North of Tehran, Iran. It had been essentially buried beneath the preservation of glaciers until last year when Iran recorded the hottest year on record which melted some of the snowcap revealing 450 by 75-foot footprint of the “object.

See the Cartoons about Muhammad that the AP and the American newspapers are scared to publish.
This is the same Associated Press (AP) and U.S. press that is never afraid to publish Muslim and atheist insults on Christianity and Judaism. They scream "freedom of speech" and "democracy" when someone makes a painting of the Virgin Mary with cow dung, and have no problem showing videos of Muslim fundamentalists beheading innocent people. The Muslim world has never had any qualms about printing demeaning cartoons of Christians and Jews.
The root of the problem really is the hold Satan has on Muslim imams and mullahs who are always preaching hatred in their mosques on Fridays. Christian and Jews do not spew this venom in their churches and synagogues.
See the Danish Cartoons here
Islamic terrorism and liberals: "The Times was rushing to assure its readers that 'prominent Islamic scholars and theologians in the West say unequivocally that nothing in Islam countenances the Sept. 11 actions.' (That's if you set aside Muhammad's many specific instructions to kill nonbelievers whenever possible)" - Ann Coulter

First of all, the translation is "IF a man sells his daughter as a maidservant." There's no should about it. The Bible doesn't command anybody to sell their daughter as a sex slave. Furthermore, the type of "slavery" described in the Bible is not "sex slavery". In fact sex slavery isn't even mentioned in this passage. You have a distorted interpretation of Scripture.

That's speaking about the fair treatment of slaves. But I know what you are trying to say. This is why so many people are led into Islam. Now lets speak what really is behind your hateful message. Why not follow a fake hateful religion that says, train your children with hate and hand them guns to kill everyone who isn't Islamic, and strap yourself with bombs and kill yourself and as many people there, while your leaders sit back and smoke weed.

a sex slave does not have marital rights "as his wife"
I would consider the NIV to be a more reliable translation and it uses the term "marital rights", but even the text you give clearly says this is a marital relationship not a sex slavery.
be careful to not twist the words of Scripture for your own agenda.

Who would join anything cocerning belief??
Science and understanding are the only way to go.
Harun Yahya is anything but the truth...
Certainly has nothing to do with enlightenment.
Concepts- Theories are just that
Faith is believe in that which can't be proven.
