Take a deep breath and clear your head

Waleed, that is like saying war is peace, up is down, and left is right. It's nonsense, it makes no sense. If you want to promote freedom of slaves, you ban slavery entirely, you never allow it again, and you go after anyone that tries to practice it.

I so often hear this "our system is good because it is nice to our slaves, or dhimmi system good because you are allowed to practice your religion as long as you do not insult the superior Islam, and superior Islam will determine when you insult us."

Waleed, there is an old saying about walking a mile in another man's shoes (meaning try to see the world through that man's eyes so as to understand him, and empathize). You have many miles to go before you sleep.
