If anything your friend is practicing a "slave" religion as it was the Muslim Arabs that conquered and enslaved local populations (mamelukes, janissaries, etc).
Christians did the exact same.
Outside of the African and native american slave trade in the 15th through 19th centuries when did the Christian church as a practice encourage slavery?

The continent of Africa is roughly 40% christian, 45% muslim, with the remainder native animistic religions. By population Africa has one of the largest numbers of christians.
And growing fast. There are a number of African students from various nations studying here at DTS. Andrew (from Rwanda) and I often study together. He is a genocide survivor, with a heart for the Lord, having come from kind of devastation that's difficult to listen to, let alone having had to live it like he did.
Got a young Lady from our church going on a mission trip to Rwanda. The place is on FIRE for God and revival is going on. Can you imagine a bigot's face when he stands in judgement before Christ who is was a Jewish brown man? LLL

The Roman Empire was not christian until Constantine and by that time slavery was more of a fact of the human condition having existed from time immemorial. I asked for an example of the Christian church purposely promoting slavery in a similar manner of the mohamadeans.

James, I said outside of african slavery of recent times. The comparison here is the early and established Christian faith as a whole vs the early and established muslim faith as a whole.

Many of the European countries that colonized used slave labor, it was not directed by the church but it was certainly Christians doing it. I dont want to get the thread off track I just want to point out how it insane it is to point out Islams transgressions against Africans and acting like it was a act specific to Islam.

No it wasn't but on the balance sheet Islam is bad to the core from baby raping start.
I think Christianity is generally good and Islam generally bad, I am not so much disagreeing with you as I am trying to point out a point of contention in your original argument so that you could maybe refine it further.

You did the right thing, Wolfdog-you probably already know that. Respect the guys right to believe as he does, but I wouldn't spend anymore time with him than I absolutely had to. He obviously doesn't have much respect for you or your rights. There are too many decent people on the planet to give a minutes worry to a fool.
I have always thought that blacks who don't act like some of the urban blacks think they should see prejudice from both blacks and whites.
