Who would have guessed that a Muslim country supports slavery!

Yes, unfortunately Islam actively condones slavery and, in these poor peoples' cases and others, apostasy from Islam is a capital offense.

Human rights and Islam are like oil and water.

"Activist members of the group were arrested in April during a peaceful protest in Mauritania’s capitol city of Nouakchott, where they burned books written by Islamic scholars, renouncing the literature for its attempts to justify slavery in the region."
