What does the Quran say about slavery? I believe it says it is OK to buy and sell slaves. I know the Bible says it is OK to do this.

I am not looking to argue or anything. It is an honest question.

The difference is, WE DON'T DO THIS (anymore). The WEST was one of the first cultures to outlaw slavery in modern times. There's none of us who secretly endorse christians elsewhere who are engaged in the slave trade. %51 of the ships taking Africans to the New World were owned by one jew (his name passes me at this time, might have been an Aaron Lopez.) The rest of that click of judaism was involved. That particular click doesn't mind ownership of slaves, trade in people, so in that sense they are fine with Muslims doing the same thing. A tiny minority of the total white population of the South were slave-owners, and many of those were jews.

My point is, there's a liberal synagoge in this town. Yes, they support Israel. But I don't think any of them own slaves, currently. If it changes, I'll let you know :P. My point is, regardless of what someone's Testament has printed down, it's up to the current culture of people. And most jews, and christians, do not secretly endorse some slave trade going on elsewhere in their name.

We would confront and disown a group of people or person we found out about who was engaged in it. However, muslims, the great majority, don't. Ex-muslims do.
