The first slave owners were Muslims. Every slave’s first owner was an Arab.

The last slave owners in the USA - were in New Jersey.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Romans, for one, enslaved numerous peoples during its existence and they weren't Muslims.
The Greeks/Spartans enslaved people as well and they weren't Muslims either.

You can go back as far as Sumer and find slavery.
Ancient Mesopotamian Warfare

Don't spread ignorance.

Beg to differ. Slavery goes way, way back. I’m not sure when it started, probably when the first bully decided he could treat other humans as property. For the sake of argument let’s say six thousand years. Islam goes back what? Thirteen hundred years or so? Granted the Islamic position on slavery, and many other issues, is sickening. Yet, it is seemingly ignored by most of the world. Islamic treatment of women is, in reality, no better than slavery. Do all of you feminists and socialists really understand that? Apparently not.
It is most likely that many mooselimbs favour communism as it comes closer to the tenets Islam than it does to capitalism, or so it seems to me. Then again I could be wrong. All I know is that both communism and Islam suck - IMHO.
