Stockton Muslim Family in Court for Slavery.

'Narrated Sahl: The Prophet sent for a woman from the emigrants & she had a slave who was a carpenter. The Prophet said to her "Order your slave to prepare the wood (pieces) for the pulpit." So, she ordered her slave who went & cut the wood from the tamarisk & prepared the pulpit, for the Prophet. When he finished the pulpit, the woman informed the Prophet that it had been finished. The Prophet asked her to send that pulpit to him, so they brought it. The Prophet lifted it & placed it at the place in which you see now.' So says the most trusted compilation of ahadith in Islamic scripture, Sahih Bukhari, in volume three, book 47, number 743.

We see from this that Mohammed had no compunction about using & owning slaves. Because this monster in held to be al-insan al-khamil, the most perfect man in creation, to be emulated in all things, Muslims see fit to do the same. This is why slavery is commonplace across the Muslim world, Saudi Arabia only 'abolished' it in 1962 (that's not to say it still doesn't go on.) It is also why many Muslims living in the West deem it appropriate to continue this repulsive behaviour in their new homes. Such is the case with the Stockton family, who appeared in court today, according to this report from ITV (hat-tip to DowHeater @Death2RapeGangs):

Four family members face trial accused of keeping a woman as a slave Four members of the same family will stand trial in the New Year accused of keeping a woman as a slave. Sakina Bibi, 67, Rabia Mobin, 27, Tariq Mahmood Siddique, 47, all of OsborneRoad, Stockton, and Javid Iqbal, 42, of Yarm Road, Stockton, appeared at Teesside Crown Court on Monday August 24th. They each face two counts of slavery and compulsory labour and another charge of common assault. They are accused of knowingly holding another person in slavery and servitude by using "force and threat of force" between November 1st 2014 and July 30th 2015. Mother and daughter Bibi and Mobin face a further charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The four indicated not guilty pleas to all charges at an earlier hearing. They have been bailed but must reside at their home address and must also report to Stockton police on Mondays between 9am and 2pm. The family were also told that they cannot apply for any travel documents or leave the UK.
