Did you know that slavery is very common in the arabic world? in quatar they use little childrens they buy in pakistan or bangladesh to become racer on camels. that's just an exemple
Saying that christiannity is responsible for slavery is stupide, there have been slaves since babylone

We know Christianities view on slavery. The Christian preachers were the first to legislate slavery using the story of Ham in the Bible as justification. In America, if you were black you and your children would be slaves, and if you were white you were free. Also slaves were not allowed any education. This is not at all the case with slavery by Arabs. Arabs had traditionally practiced slavery, but the Qu'ran began to change the Arabs views of slavery.
Now let's look at the Qu'ranic viewpoint on slavery...
[24:33] "Those who cannot afford to get married shall maintain morality until GOD provides for them from His grace. Those among your servants who wish to be freed in order to marry, you shall grant them their wish, once you realize that they are honest. And give them from GOD's money that He has bestowed upon you. ........."
[9:60] Charities shall go to the poor, the needy, the workers who collect them, the new converts, to free the slaves, to those burdened by sudden expenses, in the cause of GOD, and to the traveling alien. Such is GOD's commandment. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.
[2:177] "Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous."
[90:10-13] Did we not show him the two paths? He should choose the difficult path. Which one is the difficult path? The freeing of slaves.

so your saying that the qu'ran tells people not to slave people and to free them?
its funny how the west has moved on from slavery without the help of the qu'ran, but part of the world which are heavily muslim are still battling with slavery?
