As usual, excellent paper by Dr. Brown! Except for the fact that he gifted a citation to that “Rukmini Callimachi” Islamophobe when it wasn’t even necessary…

One of the big problems of islamic slavery is that it sanctions and encourages the breaking up of the family bonds between the parents and their children, when they become ipso facto slaves. They become individual items of chattel property. Biblical forms of slavery never descend to this depth of evil and legislate against it.

Christians like madman resort to secular humanism and western liberal values and pretend that the Bible does not sanction slavery in their hypocritical attacks on Islam. Biblical teachings on Slavery are embarrassing to most Christians and that is why they constantly ignore the relevant verses or try to spin them.
Cruel slave masters often break family bonds of chattel slaves and the Bible commands the slave to submit willingly to such cruelty.
“Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh and cruel.” 1 Peter 2:18
What a terrible, disgusting, unloving thing to say to another human being…….sad.
