Where is the international outcry? Would caring for the slaves suffering today in Mauritania be “Islamophobic”? We constantly hear in the West that Islam forbids slavery, but reality is otherwise.

Mauritania: Court reduces sentence of Canadian jihadist, will be freed soon
Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his new, peaceful religion, and thinks that it has something to do with warfare against unbelievers.
