African History in counterfactual terms. Interesting to say the least but very amusing for its stupidity.

One can know Islam superficially or profoundly--by reading all its works including the Qur'an, the Hadith, and the Sira.
A good example of a profound knowledge of Islam is ISIS Caliph Abu-Bakr al-Bagdhadi. He is a Ph.D. in Islamic Studies and was described by his teachers as a serious and impressive young scholar.
The assumption here is that he would 100% endorse the idea that the enslavement of humans is an intrinsic part of Allah's will. After all, Muhammad who, according to Muslim lore, is the most perfect human who lived and ever will live, kept and sold slaves. He even had intimate relations with them as with Mary the Copt. Aisha caught them and rebuked the Prophet. The Prophet consulted with Allah who told him that whatever he did was "pleasing to Allah". Aisha had to back down.
In this instance he would fully endorse the ISIS statement on the enslavement of Africans in the Western Hemisphere.
