Harrak, backward regimes like Saudi Arabia and Iran allow the rape of women. In Iran a young woman is facing death because she killed a bandit who tried to rape her. The koran encourages rape and slavery.

Chapter 33 verse 50 of the Koran:
"O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, and the daughters of thine uncle on the father's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the father's side, and the daughters of thine uncles on the mother's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the mother's side who emigrated with thee, and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the Prophet desire to ask her in marriage a privilege for thee only, not for the [rest of] believers. We are aware of that which We enjoined upon them concerning their wives and those whom their right hand possess that thou mayst be free from blame, for Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

Therefore Muhammad had no problem having conjugal relations with his captives, cousins and any women he possessed. Having relations with a woman captured in war sounds like rape to me.

The Koran encourages slavery, so do the hadith.

Sura 4 (The Women), Verse 92.
4.92: And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, he should free a believing slave, and blood-money should be paid to his people unless they remit it as alms; but if he be from a tribe hostile to you and he is a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (suffices), and if he is from a tribe between whom and you there is a covenant, the blood-money should be paid to his people along with the freeing of a believing slave; but he who cannot find (a slave) should fast for two months successively:

So to allah slaves are nothing but a commodity to be traded here and there. Allah sounds like a confederate slave holder.

In the countries of Sudan and Mauritania, blacks are captured and enslaved. The word for black in arabic is "abeed" which means slave.
