I think nutbar is getting desperate:
In other words, as slaves. Are they allowed to just move in, like Jack Roper? Are they guests? Of course bloody not. They're slaves. What happens if they refuse to obey? Prison, beating or death? Any of those fits the bill: slavery.

Argument from false authority. You evidently aren't a student of logical discourse.
My interest is in pointing out that islam is not perfect; and certainly not better than any of the religions it despises so. Your whole objective here has been propaganda from the get-go. What do you get from all this? Why are you posting propaganda?
Un-islamic? You'd better believe so.
But, of course, islam isn't too concerned about the finer aspects of humanity - only submission. What islam - or you at least - calls "good" and everyone else calls "good" are very different things.
I agree that this is probably a misnomer.

DiamondHearts said:My points have been consistent that Islam does not allow Slavery. The word for prisoners of war in Islamic terminology is a slave of the state (the reason why some Islamic texts talk of prisoners of war in such a regard), yet they are far different than what the West has practiced of slavery. Prisoners of war are human beings as viewed in Islam and have the right to pay for their freedom, they are either allowed to stay in prisons (as is consistent with Western practice) or they are allowed to serve Muslims in their home to gain freedom.

Contrary to your labelling of me as an apologist, I am presenting the proper and true word of Islam (being a student of Islamic Theology) and am very much entitled for this view to give my opinion, while you aren't qualified as all.
Argument from false authority. You evidently aren't a student of logical discourse.
A final question I have for you is this, what is the reason for such a malicious and constant barrage of ugly charges against Islam and Muslims? What do you get from all this? Why are you engaging in this propaganda?

I suggest you take a thorough look at yourself, is this what you want to be? Do you want to live your life in such a way?
Un-islamic? You'd better believe so.
I suggest you take a look at Islamic sources by yourself, to read the Quran in english translation with a desire to actually understand, read the books of the above scholars (in a proper translation) seeking to learn and further yourself as a human being.
But, of course, islam isn't too concerned about the finer aspects of humanity - only submission. What islam - or you at least - calls "good" and everyone else calls "good" are very different things.
I wish the best for you and your family.
Peace.
