144. We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
149. And whencesoever thou comest forth (for prayer, O Muhammad) turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship. Lo! it is the Truth from thy Lord. Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
150. Whencesoever thou comest forth turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship; and wheresoever ye may be (O Muslims) turn your faces toward it (when ye pray) so that men may have no argument against you, save such of them as do injustice - Fear them not, but fear Me! - and so that I may complete My grace upon you, and that ye may be guided.

Yea that black stone is basically the only thing they are allowed to adonish more than Allah or Muhummed. That is why ISIS wants to blow the Kaaba up believe it or not..
Utter nonsense is all it is. People think humans are so smart, i dont see Fido worshipping anybody they cant see. I
190. Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.
191. And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

I find it interesting that Islam is responsible for taking and selling more slaves than anyone else yet as a subject has been completely ignored by unHolywood.

Eunuchs have been the preferred slaves for royal families throughout history, regardless of the culture or proclaimed belief system. This is because they can't reproduce and have no sexual desires, and thus, are no threat to rape or molest members of royal families.

Before getting all hot and bothered about those evil bastards in Saudi Arabia, should our own houses be rock proof???

The kabah (Arabic: الكعبة al-Kaʿbah IPA: [alˈkaʕba], "The Cube") also referred as Kaaba Muazzama (Grand Kaaba), is a building at the center of Islam's most sacred mosque, Al-Masjid al-Haram, in Mecca, al-Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred Muslim site in the world.[1] It is considered the "House of God" and has a similar role to the Tabernacle and Holy of Holies in Judaism. Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing salat (prayer). From any point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the qibla.
In the September 1919 issue of Trestle Board Magazine, Mason William Galliher stated that knowledge of the Great Pyramid being the geographical center was "determined by many years of scientific investigation" and that the Great Pyramid was likely to be the "last of the present land surface of the earth" to survive a cataclysmic event, due to its positioning.[5] However, in 2007, Susan Wise Bauer claimed in her book Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome, that the theory that the Great Pyramid was the geographical centre of Earth would only hold true if a Mercator projection is used as the map for Earth, which was "unlikely to have been a common practice of the ancient Egyptians".[6]
In 1973, Andrew J. Woods, a physicist with Gulf Energy & Environmental Systems in San Diego, used a digital global map and calculated the coordinates on a mainframe system as 39°00′N 34°00′E, 1,000 km north of Giza and 150 km southeast of Ankara, Turkey.[1][unreliable source?] In 2003, a revised calculation by Holger Isenberg using the higher resolution ETOPO2[7] global digital elevation model (DEM) with data points every 2' (3.7 km near equator) led to a more precise result of 40°52′N 34°34′E in the region of Çorum, Turkey (180 km northeast of Ankara) and thereby validated Woods' calculation.[8]

Islam has a terrible track record with slavery to this very day. This is true.
It saddens and angers me to think that in this day and age there are still people out there that profess to the belief that some humans are somehow inferior to others.
We are all equal in the eyes of God.

What? If you think Trump is the answer to any problems the world currently faces then you are seriously deluded.
As for the slave trade, it's by no means an exclusively Islamic trait! Many empires and countries have had legitimate slave trades backed by legislation. 2 (or more) wrongs don't make a right but to label the entire Islamic race as savages is just wrong.
One your eyes old bean.

Any subject unflattering to those who seek to institute a globalist, one world government are never made the subject of movies - the suffering of the Southern states during reconstruction, various communist revolutions and their genocides against their own people, Zionism as a political movement, etc. etc.
Ever seen a movie about the Prophet Mohammed? I've seen plenty about Jesus but nothing about Mohammed. Slavery as an institution probably began In the MIddle East during the earliest civilizations of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Egyptians, etc. It's continuation and increase under Islam was simply an expansion on an established institution. Many Americans blindly believe somehow the colonies invented it.

Islam is not a race it's a religion.

Slavery in one form or another has gone on going back thousands of years and pretty much all throughout human history. Sad but true. Since this article focuses mainly on one group, primarily 'Arab' on Black, I'm sure it will cause controversy. Even though, Slavery of any human by another is a travesty to the human experience.
Sad historical facts need to be kept alive so as not to be repeated.

There are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
