Islamic Slavery Is Alive and Well in Bosnia
31st May 2012
A pointed reminder that Islam has absolutely no problem at all with slavery; Saudi Arabia didn’t abolish slavery until 1962, and it’s still a flourishing practice (in effect, if not formally) in Sudan and other Islamic states.

Most EUropean intellectuals defended slavery throughout the 20th century, slavery of the Nazi or Communist slave labor camp variety*. Slavery wasn’t abolished in, for example, Russia and East Germany until 1991, when the USSR collapsed. If Saudi Arabia abolished slavery in 1962, that would be a generation ahead of the wise EUropeans.
* I’ve had people tell me this wasn’t “real” slavery because the government did it under law, persumably in contrast to personal slavery in their delusional world.
