When Britain annexed part of Nigeria in 1861, the main reason for doing so was to stamp out the slave trade there. In fact, many African states and their rulers saw the abolition of slavery by Britain as an insult to Islam, which taught that non-Muslims could be lawfully enslaved.

Still teaches and practices that non-Muslims can be enslaved.

Makes one wonder about the wonderful Muslim religion.
