Perhaps not, but if I were a betting man, I'd wager there are a large number of genuine slaves in Kuwait.
Of course, ISIS has no problem with slavery.
What!!?? Muslims killing muslims? They must have run out of Jews and Christians in Kuwait.
Bill Clinton has already ordered the Rosetta Stone course and the Cliff Notes and the Koran-for-Dummies.
( I know, I should be praying for his repentance and the salvation of his soul...)
That's basically how I see everything.
