Slavery (Women) and Islam

[FearGod]

Forced baby brides is slavery in Muslim counties.

In which Muslim-majority countries does slavery remain a problem? Here's an alphabetical listing of this phenomenon, with additions as appropriate:

• Afghanistan: Mostly concerns boys.
• Mali: Arabs and Touareg own blacks.
• Mauritania: Slavery remains a major institution. Nov. 11, 2013 update: For current developments and some pictures, see "Mauritania Confronts Long Legacy of Slavery."
• Pakistan: Mostly a rural phenomenon.
• Saudi Arabia: Despite a 1962 law banning the practice, it remains in place. A leading theologian even states that to reject Shar'i slavery is not to be a Muslim.
• Sudan: Chattel slavery returned in force with civil war in the 1990s.
• Yemen: As in Saudi Arabia – a 1962 legal abolishment has not been fully effective.

A comparison of the Islamic slave trade to the American slave trade reveals some interesting contrasts. While two out of every three slaves shipped across the Atlantic were men, the proportions were reversed in the Islamic slave trade. Two women for every man were enslaved by the Muslims.
While the mortality rate for slaves being transported across the Atlantic was as high as 10%, the percentage of slaves dying in transit in the Trans Sahara and East African slave trade was between 80 and 90%!

Anti Islam propaganda, so silly.

That is why they are after younger girls 6 and under. It is not so easy for them to escape.
