There is a general consensus in the Muslim world that Slavery is allowed though not encouraged in Islam.
Slavery is seen and you too would agree is unjust and a gross voilation of human Rights!! But Islam allows it. How do you deal with this moral dilemma.
Opinions are welcomed but if you are thinking of copy pasting something from some webpage - PLEASE DONT - just post the links.

This is crazy stuff you're talking about !! Makes me sick just thinking about it. I'm going to have to re-think staying on this site. This kind of talk makes me think if I should support a site like this. WOW !!! :vomit:
Hi Achnod,
May I just ask you something, now be patient with me.
List or tell me some of the things that you dislike about slavery.
Abu Ikhlas.
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.
The fatwaa team headed by Shaykh Abdullah Al-Fakeeh and Shaykh Hassan Al-Ahameed (from islamweb.net) were also asked similiar question to which they replied:
After this introduction we dare saying that Islam is the freer of slaves and the equitable with human beings. We are very proud of this. So, if the world now gets together and forbids slavery, Islam will welcome such an initiative as it fits into its aims and objectives. It is lawful for the Muslim leader to sign a convention forbidding slavery.
But this does not mean that slavery was abrogated definitely and has become legally inexistent. If the world returns back to enslaving prisoners of war, Muslims will treat their enemies equally.
