Change My Mind

Let me know when muslims are held accountable for their larger and longer lasting (Til today) slave trading? Oh wait! They castrated all their slaves.

Feudalism, the Ancient Greeks and Romans, literally everyone had slaves, and treated them differently. Some better than others. And one could even argue, you'd rather want to be a Muslim's slave than serve as a Serf in a fiefdom in Europe. Then again, its slavery so its never good.

Uhhhh, I'd rather be a European serf than not have my balls. I agree they got treated differently tho.

True, but then again not everyone was for importing or home growing Eunuch slaves. Jurists such as al-Baydawi considered castration to be mutilation, stipulating law enforcement to prevent it. However, in practice, emasculation was frequent. Its quite funny actually. It was one of the main "drains" on slaves.

Were the Janissaries slaves? Well treated, perhaps?

I wouldn't want to take the chance.

"Were the Janissaries slaves? Well treated, perhaps?"

All it says here is that slaves were also used as soldiers, so maybe? As how they were treated, depends probably

"I wouldn't want to take the chance."

Me neither. I mean its good to know that the law would be on your side, just that A) your a slave and B) your owners couldn't care less.

Time for a rematch! XD

What a cowinkydink!
