It’s no secret that Egyptian slavery is as old as the pyramids. It’s also common knowledge that Barack Obama’s ancestors owned slaves...
So it’s really no surprise that he helped usher in a radical Egpytian regime that is restoring slavery.
...
The Obama administration declined to criticize Egypt’s constitution despite its slavery clause.

Mubarak: “ How do you like me now?”
At least slavery was not an option under Mubarak.
Obama is in his fascist glory, having given birth to an Egyptian regime that supports de slave trade.
Did not CNN have crews in Tahrir Square 24/7 for weeks on end, siding with the anti-Mubarek protestors, egging them on, interviewing them only, giving no coverage the other side, and jubiliantly dancing with the Islamists and others during the Arab Spring? Where are they now?
Where are they over this new Muslism Brotherhood/Shariah-based EGYPTIAN SLAVERY rearing its heads?
Nowhere. That's where.
Typical hypocritical libs.
Slavery is okay under Islam which follows Mohammed’s laws. There can be no reformation of Islam because Mad Man Moe was the LAST prophet and he is also considered “the perfect man”.
He was an anti-Christ deceiver and a conquering warlord.
Read Leviticus 25 and get back to me. Either the people take personal responsibility for the poor or they belong to the government which then uses the poor to enslave everyone.
Sound familiar? It's a very complex issue, thus making it easier than to throw the "s-word" around for political or religious purposes.

Biblical “slavery” is more like indentured servitude. Muslim slavery is life-long.
Not for gentiles. From the passage I suggested reading in the post above:
Next time, do what the post suggests and read the passage; you just might learn something, and not all of it is easy to grasp considering our Christian understanding of equal treatment under the law. Yet by no means are those standards universal in the Western world. There is a reason the Ladino Jews were making so much money in Andalus trading in slaves with the Arabs.
Muslim slavery is life-long.
Muslim slavery is cruel. Everything about Islam is a parallel mockery of the Torah, as was obvious had you read the Hebrew in Genesis 16. Sigh.
Sorry, but I get damned tired of FReepers "instructing" me on subjects of which they are clearly ignorant, without having so much as looked at my FR page to find out I'd written a book encompassing this very topic.
Since we have a free trade agreement, maybe we can start selling them back over there.
It’s Obama approved after all.
I am wondering if liberals are going to complain about inequality when a white american slave is more valuable to them than a black one...
>>46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
You’d have to come up with the exact Hebrew interpretation of this. You inherit them for a possession (until the year of Jubilee or when these children you buy grow up1?) and then they shall be your bondman (they have to do what you say as if you are still their parent?).
Not really an easy passage to grasp. I do agree that the Jews were slave traders, as was everyone else during that period.
For the most part in the Torah they were to be voluntary servants because they honestly knew they were not competent. This is no different than when Israel asked Samuel to give them a king.
The islamic raids that brutally took people against their will and for personal obsene gratification were not slaves per Biblical standards, but outright coveted, thieved and raped out labor.
Not gentiles.
As to how indenture was to work as a social system within the tribal system, unless you can explain to me the central and prophetic role of Shemitta off the top of your head, then you don't understand the role of indenture within the Mosaic Law. You could try looking it said prophetic role, but you won't find it unless it is in my book on the topic by the same name, as the prophecy is described there for the first time anywhere.
I really cannot believe that after reading that post you can be so pedantic. Really, it's insulting.

Yes, it is. The corruption among the sons of Shmuel as judges was because of greed; it was therefore unwillingness to heed the Torah, not inability.
The islamic raids that brutally took people against their will and for personal obsene gratification were not slaves per Biblical standards, but outright coveted, thieved and raped out labor.
As to whether Israel was needlessly brutal, do you really want me quoting the Torah on that?
How exact do you want? Would the Concordant Hebrew-English Sublinear do??? Why don't you look that up yourself? It is a free download.
I think you are confusing the treatment of gentiles with that for the Children of Israel. They were to be different.

Not with Moslem Arabs; the Ladino were among the very few who did business with them. Moreover and for the most part, these particular trades were European women being sold to Arabs. That's why I referred to Genesis 16:12 (best you first look carefully at the Hebrew and then check each and every root in a lexicon or else you won't understand that at all). As far as I am concerned, the usual translation is sadly lacking.
Just once, thanks.
The rub, as someone pointed out upthread, is that the Muslim Brotherhood is not being explicit about permitting slavery. They just "kinda sorta forgot" to include anti-slavery language in the new constitution, on the one hand, and hold up the Koran and Haditha on the other as moral authority .... and the latter are stiff with slavery.
Moslems traded slaves for centuries, including to the "Portuguese" (Ladino?) slavers who started the trans-Atlantic slave trade that liberals like to get all incensed about (because it's a way of flogging Southern conservatives and splitting the regional opposition to the Atlantic Slope clerisy).
Did you mean that he isn't the "cannon", the guy running the "wire mob"?
That last term (it's on Wiki under Harry in Your Pocket [1973]), by the way, anticipates by 25 years at least -- it could be generations older -- the late-90's term "flash mob".
Is this for real??
