No, I'm pretty sure slavery was a bad thing last time I checked
Today on Twitter, a Muslim girl actually said the following:
"Slavery is good if it is beneficial: non demeaning, instills dignity, etc. Projecting your values as insults upon others isn't." ...
I quote her verbatim, (sic for instils) - that's what she actually said. I sh** you not. ... 1. Since when was slavery ever beneficial to anyone, except maybe those doing the enslaving? And they're the ones that matter. Obviously. (WTF?!) 2. And her statement itself is pretty hypocritical as well since she is projecting her values on anyone reading it. 3. I can't guess what values she is protesting about being projected on her, although I shudder to think that they could be worse than hers seem to be. 4. So "slavery is OK", but suggesting that this may not be true is not OK. Oh I see. ...
In the interests of taking the kindest possible interpretation of her words, the best thing she could possibly be suggesting is akin to "endentured servitude". Like that's desirable. Such ignorance is extremely worrying. Just goes to show the things the godly will say from their position of feeling morally superior.
