Hypothetical situations are stupid; you can never know what you’d do IF you were in a situation, especially one you’ve never been in (slavedom) because you’d have no clues to help you along.
To be honest Jerome I think it would be very hard to reason with you because you’re so used to one idea of slavery (the one you were taught at school) and can’t seem to get your head around other forms of slavery.
Slavery is not an intrinsic part of Islam but rather a prexisting phenomenon in the period when (modern) Islam first propagated. Islam did not abolish slavery but it made it just, that fact that Muslims transgressed these boundaries is disgusting. Basra is right in that slavery or any sort of adverse condition can bring a person closer to their Lord. Lol sometimes there’s a lot of wisdom in what she says.
Islam can feel quite complex sometimes but it’s your job to attempt to understand it; I’m not going to tell you that you’re being blasphemous by asking these questions but you do seem quite close minded. You can gain a lot by enquiring further on your own instead of posing strange repetitive posts on this forum. Specific questions are much easier to answer.
I’d recommend going directly to a person of knowledge to learn about how Islam changed the situation of slaves in the Muslim world. I mean you happily learned about how cruel oppressors made a mockery of Allah, right? Also, you must understand that slavery can be just like any other condition in life; we are all slaves in many ways. We are only on this earth for so long, it’ll all feel like inconsequential bollocks soon enough. There’s nothing wrong with being outraged about oppression, but Islam is not oppression. All the best xx
