Medieval era was, alas, pretty poor on women’s rights and slavery was taken for granted. I don’t think you’ll find any slavery where rape was in practice forbidden.

That verse is used to justify rape. Not just rape, but entire slave trade networks that revolve around rape. (and that’s in today’s world, not some ugly footnote in distant history)
That you personally interpret it differently is moot: people’s actual lives are destroyed over a fairy tale, and that shit is absolutely evil.
Yeah no shit, that’s because slavery, and the people who engage in slavery are and always have been abhorrent, as are systems that enable slavery regardless of religious vs secular context.

OK, because the way you replied with that off-topic Quran verse to a Quran verse related to the topic of the post made my think that your point was railing on Islam.
Not that “slavery is bad”, which I also didn’t think needed to be replied somewhat arcanely to posts.
Do we need to write a “slavery is bad” reply to any time vikings or Christianity come up in the comments?

My beef is with religious down-throatism. I don’t care if it’s Islam, or Christianity, or Satanism, or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
If you want to talk about your favorite ghost story, make or visit a community for it - it has no place here.

It’s a shame that a relevant quote from literature was removed.
Poor show on the part of the mods.
Where I disagree is that someone having a quote from a religious thing is invalid, when it’s not actively pushing to convert. Just kinda existing showing religion is there. But I guess we just have different perceptions of what passes for “down-your-throatism”.
Anyhow, all the best and have a good night (or whatever time of day it is when you (or anyone else) read this).
