Of Islam, Communism and Slavery
Of Islam, Communism and Slavery
By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst
WASH—Jun 13—KIN-- Predominantly Muslim and socialist countries rank as among the worst nations in the world when it comes to the human slave market according to the latest U.S. State Department annual assessment of worldwide human trafficking. Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, which along with Algeria, Equatorial Guinea and Malaysia joined regular annual offenders Myanmar (Burma), Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria in the State Department's annual "Trafficking in Persons Report." Within this sorry list are humans with a story, people who have been exploited beyond the bounds of human decency.
The State Department reports that according to the United Nations there are 12.3 million people in forced labor, bonded labor, forced child labor, and sexual servitude at any given time; other estimates range from 4 million to 27 million. Each year some 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders, which does not include millions trafficked within their own countries. Approximately 80 percent of transnational victims are women and girls and 50 percent are minors who are trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation. These numbers do not include millions of female and male victims around the world who are trafficked within their own national borders-the majority for forced or bonded labor.
There are some very consistent trends when looking at this report. Islam is at the heart of the sex and slave trafficking market. The religion and the government of these countries are one with one another. There is no separation of church and state, so to speak. These countries sell their own women and children into the worst bondage imaginable. They also sell Christians into slavery. Because there is such a discrepancy between these nations and others with regard to this issue, one can draw the conclusion that Islam, as well as communist or socialist countries, place a godless value on human life.
The ownership of a human being by another cannot be justified. Christianity does not justify slavery. In fact, the Letter of the Apostle Paul to Philemon in the New Testament is an example of how the love of Christ is greater than slavery. Paul sent Philemon’s runaway slave back to him, “that you might have him back for ever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.” Slavery is not God’s perfect will for man. We know this in these modern days. But the godless, such as Islam and communism, condone and promote human bondage and they should be held accountable here on earth, as they will before God.
