Enslaved in Vancouver
7th August 2011
Read it. And watch the video.
When a wealthy culture-enricher in Vancouver needed a household slave, she sent off to Africa to get herself one. According to the RCMP, by the time the authorities found out what she had done, she had gone abroad to visit relatives, and wasn’t available to be interviewed when Canadian TV news came to call.
The news reporters in this clip can’t bring themselves to use the words “Islamic” or “Muslim”. However, the slaveholder is said to have regularly visited a mosque, so viewers may draw their own conclusions.
There is no incompatibility between Islam and slavery; indeed, slavery wasn’t officially abolished in Saudi Arabia until 1962.

Slavery wasn’t abolished in EUrope until 1989, when Communism disappeared and its slave labor camps were closed (probably temporarily).

Islam wouldn’t have any problem with that, either. The major difference between Islam and Communism is that Communism was formally atheist.
