The unmitigated hardship and cruelty which the slaves were made to suffer had not abated but, if anything, the slaves were now accepted as animals whose fate was only to work and die for those who owned them. I do not intend this book to be a chronicle of the inhumanity which the slaves suffered but suffice it to say that man must forever carry in his conscience a sense of guilt for having once indulged in slavery.
Wingi mno wa maandiko ya Kiisilamu hauna kitu kama hicho, kutokana na aina hii ya jitihada ya uadilishi wa kusikitisha. Lakini waandishi wa Kikiristo kila mara hutaja biashara ya utumwa kama vile wao hawakuhusika kwa vyovyote vile na tatizo hili, na kwamba ni Uislam ndio ambao "ulihimiza na kuhalalisha utumwa" ambapo wao, Wakristo, kila mara walijaribu kukomesha mpango huu mbaya sana!
