Arabs learnt to use Slavery from the West Africans who invented it. Used extensively in early Egypt. The Middle-East taught Europe and Asia also.

Criminals were the basis of the first slaves in West African culture. You commit a crime, you become enslaved for a time or life, pending your crime. No such thing as putting someone in a small room locked to do nothing. Beyond Slavery was execution. Most Slaves were used as the first fodder in Tribal battles around West Africa. Thus when Europeans came to do 'business' - West Africa was all too happy to 'sell' their Slaves off to the Traders to North America. Popular demand found people being criminalised for the most petty things - just to be sold off as Slaves.
What happened latter is remembered more than what happened in West Africa.

Australia should adopt Slavery. It's not like we can send our over-flowing Gaols of criminals to another country, like the British did with theirs to here. It's costing a lot of money having them sit around and do nothing except bugger, fight, kill and get uni degrees paid for by the tax-payer.

Slavery is good when used properly.

The Slavics are a people named after being known as 'The Slaves'. Probably why they will succeed here in Australia more than the Western Europeans.

Slavery is inherently wrong.

Exactly how many muslims did you mean when you used the deliberately ambiguous term "muslims" - as opposed to say, 'some muslims' - or, what I suspect you actually meant 'one muslim called Abu'?

Did Muhammad do something that is inherently wrong?

And it is not just Abu. You see it all the time.

Earlier in the 20th century, prior to the "reopening" of slavery by Salafi scholars like Shaykh al-Fawzan, Islamist authors declared slavery outdated without actually clearly supporting its abolition. This has caused at least one scholar (William Clarence-Smith[96]) to bemoan the "dogged refusal of Mawlana Mawdudi to give up on slavery"[97] and the notable "evasions and silences of Muhammad Qutb".[98][99]

Muhammad Qutb, brother and promoter of the famous Sayyid Qutb, vigorously defended Islamic slavery from Western criticism, telling his audience that "Islam gave spiritual enfranchisement to slaves" and "in the early period of Islam the slave was exalted to such a noble state of humanity as was never before witnessed in any other part of the world."[100] He contrasted the adultery, prostitution,[101] and (what he called) "that most odious form of animalism" casual sex, found in Europe,[102] with (what he called) "that clean and spiritual bond that ties a maid [i.e. slave girl] to her master in Islam."[101]

Salafi support for slavery
In recent years, according to some scholars,[103] there has been a "reopening"[104] of the issue of slavery by some conservative Salafi Islamic scholars after its "closing" earlier in the 20th century when Muslim countries banned slavery.

In 2003, Shaykh Saleh Al-Fawzan, a member of Saudi Arabia's highest religious body, the Senior Council of Clerics, issued a fatwa claiming "Slavery is a part of Islam. Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam."[105] Muslim scholars who said otherwise were "infidels".

While Saleh Al-Fawzan's fatwa does not repeal Saudi laws against slavery,[citation needed] the fatwa carries weight among many Salafi Muslims. According to reformist jurist and author Khaled Abou El Fadl, it "is particularly disturbing and dangerous because it effectively legitimates the trafficking in and sexual exploitation of so-called domestic workers in the Gulf region and especially Saudi Arabia."[106] Organized criminal gangs smuggle children into Saudi Arabia where they are enslaved, sometimes mutilated, and forced to work as beggars. When caught, the children are deported as illegal aliens.[107]

eunuchs-and-ghilman-in-the-islamic-empire tells us]According to John Laffin, black slaves were generally castrated ‘based on the assumption that the blacks had an ungovernable sexual appetite.’847 From India to Africa, eunuchs were specifically engaged in guarding the royal harems. They kept tab on the passage of men and women in and out of the seraglio and spied for the ruler on the harem women about their behaviour, infidelity in particular. Eunuchs were needed in their thousands to look after huge harems, probably the largest royal department in medieval Islamic kingdoms

Secondly, the castrated men, with no hope of a family or offspring to look forward to in their old age, were likely to show greater fidelity and devotion to the master in order to earn their favor and support when they grew old. The castrated slaves, devoid of sexual distractions, could also devote themselves exclusively to work relatively easily in the usually sexually-charged Islamic culture.

The third reason for the high demand for eunuchs was homosexual infatuation of many Muslim rulers, generals and nobles. Eunuchs, kept for carnal indulgence, also called ghilman, used to be handsome young boys. They used to wear ‘rich and attractive uniforms and often beautified and perfumed their bodies in effeminate fashion.’ The concept of ghilman comes from the following verses of the Quran, which describes heavenly male attendants (ghilman) in paradise:

◾‘Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.’ [Quran 52:24]
◾‘There wait on them immortal youths, with bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring.’ [Quran 56:17–18]it becomes evident that the overwhelming majority of the black slaves of the Islamic world were castrated;

Quran 76:19 round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.

It has been estimated that about 80% of the black young boys and all other black male slaves actually died from the trauma of the type of castration required to make a eunuch (penis and testicles castrated right on the body line), they mostly bled to death or died from shock.

Now jump forward to today the 21st century, blacks are attracted to islam in droves.

How bloody weak are they to grovel before the very entity (islam) that painfully murdered the millions of captured or bought black males in the slave trade?
