\"\"First, a knowledgeable Jew or Christian knows full-well that slavery is discussed in the Bible.  The Jewish law has much to say about slaves and their treatment.  This matter is not open to debate.  It is a fact every rabbi and trained pastor is aware of.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Second, just as the Jews and Christians do not discuss slavery in their teachings and sermons, Muslims do not teach much on the subject.  Why? The simple reason is that slavery as it existed in ancient times does not exist anymore.  To talk of \u201cslavery in Islam\u201d as if the Muslims practice it today is dishonesty.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every country has laws against slavery.  However, experts say that slavery has taken a new form today that we shall discuss briefly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

UN Definition of Slavery:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The slave has three defining characteristics: his\/her person is the property of another human being, his\/her will is completely subject to his\/her owner\u2019s authority, and his\/her labor is obtained by coercion.[1] The international community condemned slavery as one of the worst human-rights violations, and the classic definition of slavery, set out in the Slavery Convention of 1926 is, \u201cThe status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the power attached to the right of ownership are exercised.\u201d[2] In 1956, several additional definitions of slavery were added: debt bondage, serfdom, the practice of forced marriage, transferring of wives, inheritance of wives and transfer of a child for purposes of exploitation.[3]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Roots of Slavery in the Bible:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Bible, in both Old and New Testaments, endorses slavery.[4] The Bible existed before the Quran.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible states that once Noah awoke and found out that one of his sons, Ham, had seen him naked.  Noah cursed his misbehaving son, Ham, and all the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham, saying: <\/span>\u2018a slave of slaves shall you be to your brothers\u2019<\/span><\/span> (Gen 9:25).  It must be noted that this story or anything similar to it is not found in the Quran or the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, may God praise him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a long tradition among Christians that Ham is the father of the black races of Africa, Shem is the father of Semites (that includes the Arabs and Jews), and Japheth is the father of the white people.  Therefore, this passage of the Bible is considered to have made the white races supreme and the black race their servants.[5] This \u201cbiblical passage became for many centuries a major justification for black slavery.\u201d[6] Not too long ago, in South Africa, the Reformed Church referred to this \u201ccurse\u201d to support the \u201cright\u201d of whites to rule over blacks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slavery is twice mentioned in the ten commandments found in the Bible,[7] but not once in the ten commandments of the Quran.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Leviticus 25:44-46 (one of the books of present day Torah, the Jewish scripture) is a key text used for the biblical justification of slavery.  It says that God told Jews, \u2018you may also buy male and female slaves from among the nations\u2026you may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a possession for ever.\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham, \u2018the one whom God chose for His love,\u2019 and \u2018the father of the faithful,\u2019 bought slaves from Haran (Gen 12:50), armed 318 slaves born in his own house (Gen 14:14), included them in his property list (Gen 12:16, 24:35-36), and willed them to his son Issac (Gen 26:13-14).  The Bible says that God blessed Abraham by multiplying his slaves (Gen 24:35).  In Abraham\u2019s household, angels tell Hagar, his slave, to return to Sarah.  The angel tells her, \u2018return to your mistress and submit to her\u2019 (Gen 16:9).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At God\u2019s command, Joshua took slaves (Josh 9:23), as did David (1 Kings 8:2,6) and Solomon (1 Kings 9:20-21).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Job whom the Bible calls \u2018blameless and upright\u2019,  was \u2018a great slaveholder.\u2019 See Job 1:15-17, 3:19, 7:2, 31:13, 42:8 where Job speaks of his slaves.[8]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus accepted slavery.  The present day Gospels do not have a single word attributed to Jesus as saying anything about slavery.  Jesus met slaves (Luke 7:2-10, 22:50, etc) and gave parables of slaves (Matthew 13:24-30, 18:23-35, 22:1-14, Luke 12:25-40, 14:15-24, etc), but he never spoke against slavery.  Compare it to what the Arabian Prophet of Islam said about slaves in the next article.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In some seventy passages the disciples spoke directly in support of slavery.  They told slaves to accept their fate and instructed their masters to treat them kindly (1 Corinthians 7:20-21, Eph 6:5-9, Col 3:22-25, 1 Tim 6:1-2, Tit 2:9-10, Phlm 10-18, 1 Peter 2:18-19).  1 Tim 6:1-3 instructs slaves to accept their position and obey their masters because it is commanded by \u201cLord Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most Christian theologians and scholars until late last century believed that the Bible sanctioned slavery.  The list includes Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and others.[9]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1835, the Presbyterian Synod of West Virginia attacked the movement to set slaves free, calling it a belief that goes against \u201cthe clearest authority of the word of God.\u2019[10]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Old School (presbyterian) General Assembly Report of 1845 concluded that slavery was based on \u2018some of the plainest declarations of the Word of God.\u2019[11]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1861, a Jewish Rabbi, Dr.  M.J.  Raphall of New York, wrote a much publicized pamphlet entitled \u201cThe Bible View of Slavery\u201d in defense of slavery.[12]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As late as 1957 John Murray of the Westminster Theological Seminary[13] was still arguing that Bible allows for the institution of slavery and the past Christian scholars were correct in their understanding of the Bible.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slavery in US Constitution<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Three-Fifths Compromise is found in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the US Constitution.  The 3\/5\u2019s Compromise enabled more masters to become lawmakers, even though the 3\/5\u2019s of the slave population counted, had no voice or vote in the democracy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Slave Trade Compromise was an agreement during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, protecting the interests of slaveholders, that forbid Congress the power to act on the slave trade for twenty years.  The Slave Trade Compromise stopped slave imports after 1807 encouraging slave breeding within the United States and slave auctions throughout the south.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slavery in Post Civil War US<\/span><\/span>[14<\/span><\/span>]<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The American Civil War was fought, in part, over slavery.  During the war, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in rebel states.  The North\u2019s victory in 1865 brought the end of legalized slavery throughout the United States.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slavery as practiced in the old south took away any control from blacks over their own lives; they were to be slaves for life, their children were born into slavery, forbidden formal education, were harshly punished for small acts of disobedience, their families split as children were sold off, and women sexually exploited.  The America\u2019s race-based slave system was designed at every level to take away the humanity of the slave, relying on ideas taken from the domestication of animals.  Dehumanization had a special meaning for America\u2019s slave system.  In America the slaves were marked by the color of their skin.  In this, America\u2019s slave system was supported by American religion: the Bible informed Christians that slaves weren\u2019t fully equal humans but descendants of Canaan, marked by God to be inferior and servants of others.[15]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slavery Today<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Legalized slavery may have ended, but the institution exists today under different names.  United Nations Human Rights states, \u201cSlavery was the first human rights issue to arouse wide international concern yet it still continues today.\u201d[16] US State Department also recognizes \u201cmodern slavery.\u201d[17]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slaves are cheaper these days than they have ever been in about 4,000 years.  In 1850, a slave would cost about $40,000 in today\u2019s dollars.  Now, a slave costs $30-$90.  There are 27 million slaves by conservative estimates and more than at any time in human history.[18]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026between 14,000 and 17,500 people are trafficked into the United States annually, according to the US government, most forced into the sex trade, domestic servitude, or agricultural labor.  At any one time, between 52,000 and 87,000 are in bondage\u2026 according to the United Nations, profits from human trafficking rank it among the top three revenue earners for organized crime, after drugs and arms.\u201d[19]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
