Why not? Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).” (Muslim 3901)
Muhammad took female Infidel captives as slaves: “Narrated Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives. She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr.’” (Bukhari 5.59.512) Mahr is bride price: Muhammad freed her and married her. But he didn’t do this to all his slaves:
Muhammad owned slaves: “Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!’” (Bukhari 8.73.182) There is no mention of Muhammad’s freeing Anjasha.
“El Cajon couple accused of trafficking housekeeper,” by Kristina Davis, San Diego Union Tribune, April 8, 2016:
San Diego — A handwritten note asking a nurse for help has led to labor trafficking charges against an Iraqi couple who are accused of forcing an Indonesian housekeeper to work without pay in their El Cajon apartment.
Her rescue a few days later is the first time in more than five years the woman, referred to in court documents only as W.M., has been free of indentured servitude, authorities said Friday.
“Today’s arrests bring to light the sad reality of modern day slavery,” Dave Shaw, special agent in charge for U.S. Homeland Security Investigations in San Diego, said in a statement. “… Forced labor, which often involves individuals who are held in isolation, degraded, and most alarming — stripped of their basic human freedom — has no place in a modern society.”
Firas Majeed and his wife, Shatha Abbas, pleaded not guilty in San Diego federal court Friday. They are charged with forced labor, trafficking and confiscating a passport.
The housekeeper pleaded for help in a note to a nurse on March 18, and the note made it to homeland security agents, according to the complaint.
Agents went to the apartment on Mollison Avenue days later on the ruse of an immigration compliance check and spoke to the housekeeper, whose age was not released. Once away from her alleged captors, she explained through an interpreter what her life has been like over the past five years.
She said she sought a job through an employment agency in Indonesia and began to work for an Iraqi man, Dr. Haider Kubba, and his large extended family in Dubai in 2010. She lived with them, working 20 hours a day, seven days a week, for five years, the complaint says.
She cleaned, did laundry, cooked and took care of the children — but was not allowed to leave the house on her own, with the doors and windows being locked while Kubba went to work, she said, according to the complaint. The exception was being allowed to take the trash out, with permission.
The housekeeper said she was never paid for her work, although her employers sporadically sent unknown amounts money to her mother in Indonesia, and some years had passed without payments….

It contains his usual allotment of dark humor, especially at the beginning, but is also abundantly supported with citations from the sacred texts. Probably a visit to Google will produce a You Tube result, if you want to find it via that path.

This is the case throughout the entire Arab world. In fact, I venture to say that this is normal treatment for the majority of housekeepers gardeners construction workers and other Asians working in the Middle East. I lived there for 12 years and believe me I saw mistreatment daily and constantly. Like many I hope these Arab thieves serve many many years in prison.

Dr. Haider Kubba. Doctor. What, he couldn’t afford to pay the maid?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
He’s probably a school teacher like Dr. Bill Bennett. Not a real doctor, but a PhD. The protocol in college was that you addressed a PhD as “Dr.” on campus, but never off. That was reserved for medical doctors. But, now that I think about it, school teachers are so overpaid nowadays that “Dr.” Kubba steal shoulda paid the poor woman.
gravenimage says
I don’t care whether he is a medical doctor or a professor. In either case, both well paid and educated enough to understand that this is illegal here.
These Muslims did it because slavery is perfectly Halal, and they thought they could get away with it.
Other Muslim slavers in the West have included ambassadors and royalty. An inability to pay the help has seldom been an issue.
And hell–I can’t afford a live-in maid myself. And so I mop my own floors and wash my own dishes. As a civilized Infidel, the thought of instead *keeping a slave* has never entered my mind.
miriamrove says
He can. But instead he is following his pedophile and murderous prophet which is a free ride. M
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It’s too bad the Infidel public can’t demonstrate against Islam. Doing that would be too dangerous, and would be a certain career ender if your picture was in the paper. It’s too bad because it’d be great for a demonstration at a PGA event with people holding signs protesting the European players who play in the Dubai Open. There are so many slaves in Dubai, many held in multimillion dollar condos, many of them white female slaves.

mortimer says
The taking of slaves by Muslims living in the West will surprise no one knowledgeable about Islam. Dirty kafirs have it coming to them.
Islam still retains slavery. In 2003, Al Fawzan, a member of the Senior Council of Clerics, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious body and a member of the Council of Religious Edicts and Research, the Imam of Prince Mitaeb Mosque in Riyadh and a professor at Imam Mohamed Bin Saud Islamic University, stated:
“Slavery is part of Jihad and jihad will remain as long as there is Islam… those who say Islam is against slavery are ignorant…infidels.”
Mohammad was a slave-trader, who killed the men and took the women and children of conquered tribes into slavery. Mohammad and his men enjoyed the females taken or given as slaves. Mohammad displayed sadism and gross inhumanity to captured people, including the females raped on some occasions in front of their families or husbands and on others, raped after their tribe had been destroyed and prior to selling them in slave markets.
Mohammad’s substantial wealth came from slave trading.
The name ‘Islam’ means ‘submission’ in English. No one is as submitted as a slave. Islam is a euphemism for ‘slavery’. Muslims call themselves ‘slaves’ with obvious pleasure, not realizing the implications. Slavery is such an integral part of Islam, that it continues in paradise where each Muslim is to receive a minimum of 70,000 slaves each, as well as 72 sex slaves and wives from the Muslims earthly life come along too.

Anyone who thinks this is not common in muslim communities IN THIS COUNTRY is involved in willful delusion, ignorance is bliss. Either we wake from our stupor and acknowledge 1,400 years of islamic jihad terror against the kafir (every non-muslim) and our anthithesis with this political system and drive them out or we will all be living under sharia. It is an either or proposition, with no grey area. Sharia or Freedom?
firefoxhits says
I’m fully with you on this.
Islam’s intent on migrational jihad should have been recognized by now, but our politicians are not willing to protect the sanctity of the republic above all. Thats Obama’s fault and he and the Dems have to go. Every attempt to institute Sharia should be squashed under threat of a charge of treason, and every no go zone should be considered an invasion and be immediately surrounded by the military with every one in that zone being jailed and deported. Dearborn should have never been given opportunity to develop. Our freedoms and liberty and laws are not being sufficiently protected. The US will become like Europe if this threat isnt stopped now.
Michael Copeland says
“We are Muslim. We are different. The state has criminalized these basic Muslim behaviors”.
Thus complained a Saudi national in Colorado in 2006 who was found guilty of keeping a woman as a slave housekeeper for four years while repeatedly raping her.
Sharia is not compatible or reconcilable with the West.

Let us hope that American Criminal Law can provide these evil people with long prison terms. Also, we hope that California tort law can provide restitution for the wrongs done this poor woman. Let them forfeit their freedom and their property.

How did they get her from ‘Dr’ Kubba and how did she get from Dubai to USA?
Carolyne says
Why were these barbarians not charged with “Slave keeping?” A California woman, Sante Kimes, kept young Mexican women as slaves and was charged with slave keeping. She was imprisoned for it. As an aside, she and her son were later charged with murder in an unrelated case and she recently died in prison. However, deportation is not enough for these poor examples of humankind. They need to go to prison. All of them.
I, too, wonder why it took the authorities so long to free this woman. Maybe they didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the muslims?
sham says
Slavery is a tradition which is non-existent in our society today.
It is necessary to understand clearly the roots of slavery and the
influence that it exerted on the societies in which it was prevalent
when we set about to study this phenomenon in the present context.
Indeed, it is not possible to come to but one conclusion in a current
study of past phenomena. It is only when we realize what slavery
actually is, and the influence which it exerted on the past societies,
that we can truly appreciate the greatness of the Qur’an’s own
approach towards it.
By slavery is meant the state in which one person comes under
the complete domination of another. Indeed, he is a slave who
surrenders all that is of his own which includes his body, life, family
and all else to the control of another person. He is the property of the
owner. The owner may be an individual, a society or even a nation.
No matter who that owner might be, the slave is the one who is destined
to live under his master enjoying whatever the rights and privileges
that is allowed to him by his owner.
There are no relevent documents that serve to show the exact
way in which the institution of slavery developed or how, or when, it
originated. It is, however, certain that this institution was prevalent
about twenty centuries before Christ. Slaves are mentioned in the
legal code Ur Namu which existed around 2050 B.C. It is believed
that slavery must have originated from the practice of curtailing the
freedom of those caught as prisoners-of-war and of forcing them into
unpaid labour, This belief is founded on the names with which slaves
were referred to in the ancient Sumerian language. The male slave
was named Nida-koor and the female slave Munas-koor. The
meaning or these terms were ‘Foreign man’ and ‘Foreign woman’
respectively. It is believed that as the prisoners-of-war were brought
in from foreign lands and made slaves, they were referred to by these
very names.
Slavery, in one form or the other was prevalent in almost all
parts of the world. The Old Testament of the Bible, which describes
the ancient tales of Israeli society, is replete with many accounts
concerning slavery. It can be seen that the tradition of selling people
existed during the time of the patriarch Prophet, Abraham, itself.
(Genesis 17:13,14). It is the commandment of the Bible that prisonersof-
war are to be enslaved (Deuteronomy 20:10,11). The Bible, which
permits the torture of the slave by the master, nevertheless, stresses
the point that the slave is not to be killed during the course of torture.
The law which prevailed, in this matter, amongst the Israeli society
was that, “If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the
slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be
punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his
property.’’ (Exodus 21:20,21)
It was Columbus discovery of America which had, in fact,
served to make slavery rampant in the modern world. The Negroes
were made slaves and were traded in the markets. It was a Spanish
bishop, Barthalocha De Lascasas, who had first initiated the American
system of slavery. There were companies in Europe which had been
registered for the purpose of slave trade alone. The trade of these
companies involved the bringing away of slaves from the coastal regions
of Africa and then selling them off in America. It is estimated that
nearly fifteen million slaves were thus imported into America during
the 17th to the 19th century. The slaves were taken away in pairs
abroad the ships bound in hand and feet chains to one another. A
sizeable portion of the slaves would perish during the voyage over the
Atlantic Ocean. There are no records which show the number of
persons who had died in this manner. How cheap, indeed, was the life
of the slave !
sham says
It may be seen that the Qur’an had adopted five steps for the
eradication of slavery.
1. Created a sense of brotherhood.
The Qur’an had, firstly, created a notion that both master and
slave were brothers, one to the other, by inculcating an awareness
that all men are the creations of the same God and were the children
of the same parents. “O mankind! We created you from a single (pair)
of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye
may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the
most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most
righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted
(with all things).” (Qur’an 49:13)
2. It created an awareness concerning the rights of the slave.
Islam brought about a transformation in the situation. It taught
that the slave was the brother of the master and that he had rights as
well. The Prophet commanded: “They are your brothers and relatives!
Let each one provide for the brother under him with the food that he
himself eats and with the clothes that he himself wears. Place not
upon them any task that is overbearing for them. If you do assign
them a difficult task, you must help them in its execution.” (Bukhari,
Muslim)
“Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good
– to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are of
kin, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the
way-farer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: for
Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious.”(Qur’an 4:36)
The Prophet had clearly stated, “If anyone kills a slave, we
shall kill him. If anyone maims a slave, we shall maim him as well. If
anyone castrates his slave, we shall castrate him.”(Muslim, Abu
Dawood)
From being the choice commodity for the master’s foibles and
intricacies, the slave was being transformed into a being with his very
own personality and rights. It was in a society in which existed the
heinous practice of castrating slaves that the Prophet had, in the most
unambiguous terms, declared that the master who castrates his slave
will, in turn, ‘be castrated by us.’ The slaves were castrated in order
that their sexual impulses be destroyed, whereby, they could then be
made to work like animals. Islam, which prohibited this practice,
particularly instructs that means should be made available for the
satisfaction of the sexual instincts of the slave also. “Marry those
among you who are single, and the virtuous ones among your slaves,
male or female: if they are in poverty, Allah will give them means out
of His grace: for Allah is Ample-giving, and He knoweth all things.”
(Qur’an 24:32)
3. Declared the emancipation of slaves to be an act of
righteousness.
By declaring the slaves to be human beings who had rights of
its own, Islam had technically made slavery non-existent. Without
stopping at that point, however, it went further by turning to a course
of action which would, in time, serve to eliminate the system in a very
practical sense indeed. This practical step which Islam had adopted to
make slavery virtually non-existent was its act of declaring the
emancipation of slaves to be an act of righteousness. The position of
the Prophet as regards the emancipation of slaves was such that it
only reinforced the meaning of the Qur’anic reference that “Those
who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find
mentioned in their own (Scriptures) – In the Taurat and the Gospel; for
he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he
allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them
from what is bad (and impure) : He releases them from their heavy
burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who
believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the Light which is sent
down with him, it is they who will prosper.” (Qur’an 7:157)
The Qur’anic verse which makes it clear that the emancipation
of slaves is an act of the highest virtue goes as follows: “And what will
explain to thee the path that is steep? (It is) freeing the bondman; or the
giving of food in a day of privation, to the orphan with claims of
relationship, or to the indigent (down) in the dust.” (Qur’an 90:12-16)

Have your lower garment halfway down your shin; if you cannot do it, have it up to the ankles. Beware of trailing the lower garment, for it is conceit and Allah does not like conceit.

Sham,
Islam is a sham contrived by Mohammed. Its repressive laws, horrendous oppression of women, evil punishments including death to apostates have enslaved millions of followers in a barbaric societal structure of, and since, the 7th century.
The koran contains poorly plagerized references from the Torah and Bible, with everything twisted to provide credence to Mohammed’s false claim of prophethood – he had a god-complex. The rest of the koran was Mohammed’s changing justification for his horrendous and deviant behaviors. Mohammed lusted for power and set in place laws to maintain that power by killing all who opposed him or questioned his god Allah who, when compared to scripture, is described in the koran in the same way as the Bible describes Satan. An Imam recently stated that if Islam would not have set death as the penalty for apostates, Islam would have died out long ago. That’s a profound statement and speaks volumes to how wrong Islam is, and what a threat it has become to the entire world. Islam is not peace. Islam is not love. Islam is forced submission and death. Islam needs to die out for the world to ever have a chance to see peace.
