The repugnant practice of slavery presents a real threat to human dignity as Islamic fundamentalism is surging. The Islamic law--the Shariah--is based on the provisions of the Quran
Slavery, making one human the property of another, was widely practiced in the past by many societies. Regrettably, even in the 21st Century, the horrid practice continues in certain areas, most notably among Muslims. Islam's genesis was the Arabian peninsula of the seventh century AD, known for its primitive beliefs and savage practices. So, it is of no surprise that Islam incorporated slavery and much of the ethos of the culture of its birthplace.
