Slave: My True Story by Mende Nazer

Why shouldn’t we have slaves? We’re better than everyone else. Stop basing your life on the self-justifying rants of a 7th century tyrant. “We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, ‘O Allah’s Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.’ The Prophet said, ‘Go and take any slave girl.’” —Muhammad al Bukhari. The Hadith. Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367. “SUCCESSFUL ARE the believers...who restrain their carnal desires (except with their wives and slave-girls, for with them they are blameless: transgressors are those who lust after other than these)...” — Koran 23:1-7
