.....who?
In English, the word Islam translates to 'submission'.
And yes, muslims regard themselves as the slaves of ....Allah.
And that is the extent of their relationship with their god...
.....that of slaves, to a MASTER.
The Jihadists openly claim that it is their pledge to Allah, and their desire [in this world] that...
".....we want to free
all people from being slaves of men and make them slaves of Allah."

The
Thought of Sayyid Qutb:
Radical Islam's Philosophical Foundations
.......Qutb argues that the West’s understanding of freedom is further evidence of its animalism. Although men may exercise self-government in a liberal democracy, they are slaves rather than freemen. According to Qutb, Western man is enslaved by man.

Please, note the contrast, between ISLAM, and Christianity
.......the Koran says, the Jihadists all say, muslim clerics
say, that all
mankind are [will be!] compelled to be the SLAVES of Allah.
In fact we all are, each, ultimately responsible for what we choose to believe, as these beliefs we hold to will largely determine how we live [our lives]!
And how we live [our lives], is our choice.
When i read this following Surah, it hit a chord....
Koran
48:29
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. Thou (O Muhammad) seest them bowing and falling prostrate (in worship), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) acceptance. The mark of them is on their foreheads from the traces of prostration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel - like as sown corn that sendeth forth its shoot and strengtheneth it and riseth firm upon its stalk, delighting the sowers - that He may enrage the disbelievers with (the sight of) them. Allah hath promised, unto such of them as believe and do good works, forgiveness and immense reward.

"....bowing and

...in this world, in this world, in this world.
You may suggest that the
narrator speaks here, only of heavenly rewards.... "...seeking
bounty from
Allah ....and immense
reward.".
But...

Koran
8:41
And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.

Booty?
What is this talk of booty?
The muslims are surely doing 'good works', in bringing the knowledge of Allah to the unbeliever?
Bukhari
Volume 5, Book 59,
Number 447:
Sad said, "Kill their men and take their women and children as captives," [bounty and immense rewards! for the "...orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,"]
On that the Prophet said, "You have judged according to Allah's Judgment,"
(the Prophet took Rehana as his share of the booty). [more, bounty and immense rewards! .....for the needy.]

As an
aside, not a lot has
changed since
the time of 'Sad' [above], and the chief PIRATE, 14 centuries ago.
".......do not
have any mercy neither compassion on the Jews, their blood, their
money, their flesh.
Their women are yours to take, legitimately.
God made them yours.
Why don't you enslave their women?
Why don't you wage jihad?
Why don't you pillage them?"
Their women are yours to take, legitimately.
God made them yours.
Why don't you enslave their women?
Why don't you wage jihad?
Why don't you pillage them?"
The words of a Saudi cleric
in 2002.
Now, back to the subject of submission to, and worship of, Allah....
Falling prostrate (in worship), before Allah.
Have you got that mental picture in your head now.....
...of a place of devotion where the 'believers' are all prostrate and bowing down, in the worship of their god?
And here is more graphic imagery of that scene, muslims in prayer to Allah...
Here, a muslim source, on the importance of being prostrate before your god...
Quran
Study 3: Everything Prostrates to God
"......What is prostration and why is it so important? Prostration is total submission; having no claims whatsoever. Mountains and animals do not claim to exist on their own or to own their qualities. Prostration, therefore, is the declaration of being an absolute slave of God (abdullah)… Rightfully, slavery has a despicable connotation because of the dreadful history of slavery particularly in the West. However, being a slave of God is an honor rather than an insult."

I am sorry, but i must respond to this
muslim
'observation' [in the article above]...
"...slavery has a despicable
connotation because of the dreadful history of
slavery particularly
in the West."
Yes.
As per usual, as per usual, as per usual,
but paraphrasing 'Quran Study 3'...
"...slavery has a despicable connotation
because of the dreadful history of
slavery particularly..."
.....within
ISLAM, and as practised by
muslims, against
their fellow human beings.
Yes.
As per usual, as per usual, as per usual,
...devout muslims will portray
being a member of [the hate and death cult called] ISLAM, as dedicating
a life to
serving God.
While at the same time, muslims will portray the influence and conduct and lives of non-muslims in this world, as being that of 'vile animals'.
But as per usual,
as per usual,
as per usual, While at the same time, muslims will portray the influence and conduct and lives of non-muslims in this world, as being that of 'vile animals'.
...the muslim
portrayal
of their own piety, honour and decency in the world, is just a
fiction, and unrelated to the
actual TRUTH....
".....While
almost all the slaves shipped across the Atlantic were for agricultural
work, most
of the slaves destined for the Muslim Middle East were for sexual
exploitation as concubines, in harems, and for military service.
While many children were born to slaves in the Americas, and millions of their descendants are citizens in Brazil and the USA to this day, very few descendants of the slaves that ended up in the Middle East survive.
While most slaves who went to the Americas could marry and have families, most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East were castrated, and most of the children born to the women were killed at birth.
......Almost 200 years after the British outlawed the slave trade in 1807, slave raids and the sale of slaves in Muslim markets continues in countries like Sudan. The slave trade remained legal in Saudi Arabia until 1962, when under international pressure it was finally abolished. However, there are persistent, credible reports, that slavery persists in Saudi Arabia, and even that slaves from Sudan are ending up in Saudi Arabia.
Recently, a former slave from the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, Mende Nazer, had her autobiography: "Slave: My True Story" published. Mende was captured in 1992, she was first a slave to a rich Arab family in Khartoum, and then in 2002 to a Sudanese diplomat in London, from whom she escaped and sought political asylum."

did you get that, after
the " sexual
exploitation", by muslim men,
of black African women, of black slave women, "most of the
children born to the women were killed at birth."
Muslims, murdering innocent newborn babes?
Surely not!
Decent, pious, devout muslims would never do such a thing!
But..... just look at the modern day
tragedy
which is Darfur, rape,
murder...

Read this account of 'maid abuse' in Saudi Arabia - today.
Now again, what is it that devout muslims insist, is their
desire???....
'Fiction'
".....we want to free all people from being slaves of men and make them slaves of Allah."
'Fact'
Muslims [today], are trafficking in men [and women], making them the slaves of muslim men.

MUSLIM's
are allowed to do this**, within

** enslave, murder, rape, plunder -
all these atrocities are 'sanctified', to muslims, so long as the
victims are non-muslims.
Enslaving people [non-muslims] is OK by
ISLAM.16

No return for Sudan's forgotten slaves
By Joseph Winter
BBC News, southern Sudan
Akech Arol Deng has not seen his wife and son since they were seized by Arab militias from their home in south Sudan 19 years ago.
......In the same year that Mr Arol's family was kidnapped, Arek Anyiel Deng, aged about 10, was seized from her home, not far from Malualbai.
Arab militias rode in to her village on horseback, firing their guns. When the adults fled, the children and cattle were rounded up and made to walk north for five days before they were divided between members of the raiding party. [Comment: I wonder if Allah got his cut?]

........The boys generally looked after cattle, while the girls mostly did domestic chores before being "married", often as young as 12.
Most were forcibly converted to Islam, given Muslim names and told not to speak their mother tongue.
