Slavery is acceptable in Islam. The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50)
Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).” (Muslim 3901)
Muhammad took female Infidel captives as slaves: “Narrated Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives. She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr.’” (Bukhari 5.59.512) Mahr is bride price: Muhammad freed her and married her. But he didn’t do this to all his slaves:
Muhammad owned slaves: “Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!’” (Bukhari 8.73.182) There is no mention of Muhammad’s freeing Anjasha.
“Two Bradford men jailed over ‘modern slavery’ of boy made to work in cannabis factory,” by Jenny Loweth, Telegraph & Argus, December 21, 2021:
TWO Bradford men have been given lengthy jail sentences for their roles in trafficking a vulnerable boy into slave labour at a cannabis farm in the city.
Zain Bashir, 25, of Aireville Avenue, Frizinghall, who committed the offence for a free bag of drugs, was jailed for four years and nine months.
Usmaan Tasif, 26, of Moor Park Drive, Bradford Moor, who transported the 14-year-old child to the drugs factory in a white Mercedes, was locked up for three years and four months.
Both pleaded guilty to arranging or facilitating the travel of the Vietnamese boy on January 23 with a view to him being exploited, contrary to the Modern Slavery Act.
Prosecutor Katherine Robinson told Bradford Crown Court today that the child was sold into slavery in Vietnam and transported to China.
He was then brought to the United Kingdom in a lorry and rescued by the authorities from a cannabis farm in Bradford in November last year.
The child was settled with a loving foster family in the area but went missing. A large-scale CCTV trawl showed him getting into the Mercedes.
The court heard that Tasif was driving the car and Bashir was a passenger.
After the boy was left at the house for a few days, he was dropped off near his home, the court was told.
Both defendants refused to provide the pass codes to their phones but the police managed to access Bashir’s and found photos and videos relating to cannabis farms.
Glenn Parsons said in mitigation that he was very remorseful.
He was doing a favour for his drug dealer and hehad [sic] paid a heavy price for it.
He did not set up the cannabis farm or use any threats or force on the boy.
Bashir had brought great shame on his deeply religious and law-abiding family.
“He accepts that his chickens will come home to roost today,” Mr Parsons said.
Rebecca Young, for Tasif, said he didn’t know what was going on beforehand.
“He found himself in a situation that day which he should have extricated himself from and didn’t,” she said.
Tasif did not at first realise that anything was amiss but knew how serious it was after he was arrested.
Judge Jonathan Rose said Bashir had arranged the boy’s transportation for a free bag of drugs.
“That was the price for taking a 14-year-old boy to slave labour,” he said….

What is their country of origin?

Probably the families are originally Pakistani, but these thugs may have been born in England.
mortimer says
It is ironic that Pakistanis treat others as their slaves. When Pakistanis work in Soddy Barbaria, many of them have been treated by the Soddies as their slaves in a similar manner. It is well known among Muslims that the Soddies are very racist.

What crap. Nothing is more Islamic than ensaving Infidels, except perhaps abusing children.

Rampant PEDOPHILIA in Pakistani Madrassas by Lawrence A. Franklin
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11564/pakistan-pedophilia
A recent Associated Press probe provided accounts of the rampant pedophilia, allowed to go unchecked due to a combination of factors, among them the fact that most of the victims are from poor and vulnerable families. Those who do try to complain are often bribed or threatened into silence.
Islamic judicial officials, and even civil court judges, usually urge those accused of sexual abuse to offer “blood money” to the victim or the family in exchange for withdrawing the complaint and “forgiving” the perpetrator.
Well-connected violators reach out to community leaders, particularly in rural areas, and persuade them to pressure parents of victims into keeping silent by accusing them of bringing shame to their villages or warning them that they will be subject to counter-charges of blasphemy.

Grimly true, Mortimer.
OLD GUY says
YES SLAVERY is a fairly large part of the Muslim world now and always has been. Hate to tell people but America did not invent slavery it was a major trade in the Middle East for thousands of years. What America did do was to outlaw it and fight a civil war over it. And YES slavery still exist in America through CRIMINAL organizations. Our law enforcement fights this criminal activity daily. While under Islam slavery is blessed by Allah and considered a right.

So true, OLD GUY–yet many people are ignorant of history:

Forbes Magazine tries to set the record straight, but they’ve got an uphill battle.
“Most college students think America invented slavery, professor finds”

In reality, the West eventually *abolished* slavery–something Islam has never done–and never will, since their “Prophet” was a slavetrader who enslaved his victims.
