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 you were opposed to slavery regardless of secular or religious structures and strictures.
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?
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).
Yeah, I - like you - put a quote from Tolkien and a quote from the Quran on the same level in that situation.
A related quote from either is as on topic.
I went back to look at it, and it wasn’t an explicitly linked as I recalled. I’ve been on a couple of Islam related rabbit holes recently, with Sufiism and Alevis, and there’s a strong belief in singing is a praise to Allah/Haq. So I think I just kinda filled some blanks in in my mind.
I very much get being annoyed by seeing your clearly on topic lit post getting eaten, while not apparently linked religious text gets to say.

Edit: or that rape is bad, too.

Silly mods. All the best to you.
