How far behind do you think Islam is?

Quote:


And Europe before that. And Muslim countries afterwards. The Muslim countries never abolished slavery without pressure from outside, non-Muslim countries, and never showed any signs of doing so. They cannot do, because to ban slavery, rape etc is to suggest that Muhammad did something immoral. The best they can do is be dragged along and have the muftis mutter something silly about slavery not being appropriate for the present circumstances. Any anti-slavery movement in Muslim society is neutered, just like their slaves, by the fear of being beheaded as an apostate for the mere suggestion that slavery is inherently wrong.

Which is why we see elaborate moral tapdancing from even the most moderate Muslims like Gandalf when this same question is put to them. And which is why even today Muslims are literally waging war in an effort to re-establish sex slavery as the basis for their perfect Muslim society. And which is why, without interference from non-Muslims, those "tiny minority" of "bad apple" Muslims would have won.
