[QUOTE="eninn, post: 3407086, member: 905408"] Why didn't Islam prohibit slavery by a ruling like Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation? Truthfully, if we want to talk about this issue, we have to talk about how slavery was banned in America. Abraham Lincoln was one of the great presidents of America who issued the Emancipation proclamation in 1863 to abolish slavery. It freed 4 million black slaves which led to quake the society. This resulted in a civil war that lasted for 5 years and left 500,000 dead and 500,000 injured. And one million out of four died out of sick or hunger for they could not afford themselves. Later in 1865, The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution outlaws slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. Then number of amendments granted the slaves citizenship and right to vote, but it was not applied. In 1879, in what known as Kansas exodus, the United States witnessed a mass immigration of the black Americans who escaped discrimination. In 1896 the Racial segregation was applied. The years between 1945 and 1970 witnessed a lot of struggles and civil movements. Despite all these efforts, racism still exists in the United States till nowadays. Slavery exists nowadays in various countries in many forms (women - children trafficking - legalizing prostitution - the red light districts are prevalent in USA, some European & Far East countries - illegal trade of human organs) So, it is apparent that solving issues which are so ingrained in society in such an abrupt manner can have several adverse effects. As we see that 150 years after the abolition of slavery, Black people still could not sit next to white people on public buses. This is because of the way Mrs. Lincoln and his followers fixed the problem of slavery. He did not realize that slavery is just a symptom, while the disease itself is Racism. And this is the most dangerous thing, treating the symptom instead of treating the disease itself. On the contrary, Islam offered the right solution for the problem of slavery. It took drastic measures and radical solution to uproot racism which was a social malady. At the same time, Islam got rid of slavery in a gradual manner, without shaking the foundation of society.
