Dear Readers,

For those of us who do not understand Islam, slavery was abolished some 1400+ years ago only by this faith. There is no such thing called "Islamist Slavery" & those who try to tie faith & heinous crimes committed by individuals are simply ignorant...Read history, who were the countries involved in slavery over the last 500 years are so. I am sure we all know the answer.

Just like in this great country of ours (USA), thousands of crimes are committed on daily basis, such as; rape, assault, murders & crimes against women & children. Should we blame it on Christianity because majority subjects of this country are Christians?

So people, lets not be ignorant & naive
