Daniel Pipe has a blog regarding the legalization of slavery in Arabia. He has a couple of interesting links as well. He quotes one Arabian Islamic leader as saying this surprising thing:
"Slavery is a part of Islam," he announced in a recent lecture. "Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam." He argued against the idea that slavery had ever been abolished, insulting those who espouse this view as "ignorant, not scholars. They are merely writers. Whoever says such things is an infidel."
