Sucked that they did that. But they were there for centuries; their kids didn't do it. If Moorish descendents are bereft of virtue owing to the sins of their fathers, does the same apply to the descendents of the European invaders of America?
I read condemnation on this site every day against Europeans/Americans because of things done in the past that we were not a part of.
Yes, a social structure similar to Jim Crow in the USA should be condemned not celebrated as being tolerant or some mythical place. It was not a good culture, it was not kind. Islam only allowed enslavement on non-muslims. Nice 'tolerance'. You shouldn't enslave people, and my people we mean non-believers. As many as 1.25 million white Europeans were enslaved by Islamic slavers. Much tolerance, much beauty.
I don't believe that the article was celebrating Islamic culture as a whole. It looked at their residual food/architecture. I furthermore don't know that there is a monolithic Islamic culture. Kurdish culture is a heck of a lot different than Afghani culture. Europeans and Americans did plenty of slaving. It's almost like it's a human thing, not a religion thing.
I think you need to touch grass, friend. Dehumanization of the infidels is what allowed Moors to enslave Europeans. Take care not to become their mirror image.
