Modern day Americanpolice rape and traffic women every day.

@@GenericSteve764 However Americans don't approve of that. In fact, people are sent to prison for life every day doing it. However no major Muslim organizations or leaders have criticised the Barbary Pirate.

@@JacobStein1960 I suggest you actually try to study the rights of women in Islam, try to be positive about that and you would be surprised to know the amount of rights given to women in Islam. The only problem is that it is not taught with much emphasis, the rights are there, the rights are given in religion, the problem is that people do not put much emphasis on it. It's not Islam that has fault, it is the Muslims who don't properly study the rights of women in Islam and therefore since they don't study they don't even practice it.

​@@khadijanadeem8559 Can you do this. Cite for me one important Muslim leader or organization which has condemned the Ottoman Imperial Harem, where kidnapped Christian girls were imprisoned and raped by the Turkish Sultan up until 1922.
