Slavery was accepted during those times. Muhammad knew the inequality between the slaves and their masters. In Islam, slaves are treated with kindness and the masters are urged to free their slaves. But lets get this clear ha, Islam does not advocate one to enslave another.

Thank you for answering my questions objectively.
1. So Muhammad consummated that marriage out of love, compassion, and for political reasons when Ayesha was
nine years old? Doesn't seem so saintly to me.
2. So Muhammad chose to wash his hands when he could have saved lives? Pilate is vilified in Christianity for having done the same to Christ but Muhammad is made the prophet of Islam.
3. So Muhammad tolerated the practice instead of making a stand? Doesn't he advocate dying in defense of the religion? Hold your ground in the name Islam but look the other way when you see slavery.
Sad.
