<<<we should at least take a moment to consider if they want to be freed before we ride in on our white horse to save them.>>>

The problem those slaves have is not that anyone is rushing in too fast (not even taking a moment to consider if they want to be freed), to save them, trampling with the hooves of their white horses over their right to be absolutely subject to whatever tortures and deprivations (even including deprivation of their own names and contact with their families and forcible conversion to Islam, in many cases) their owners may devise. It's that nobody except a few Christian groups and members of human rights organizations gives a shit about their hideous suffering.

This attitude toward slavery seems to me to have reduced the politically correct notion of "respect" for other "cultures" to grotesque absurdity.

Everybody: I'm hereby making it known that if i'm ever abducted, taken forcibly into slavery, I want to be freed. Thank you.
