I was just watching a video about the history of slavery and myths about it, presented by a black academic at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO_wmixXBdE. As she points out, slavery still exists. I think you would be hard pressed to find a Muslim country anywhere that does not have slaves. That was one of the main points made years ago by the movie Slave Trade in the World Today. But the worst offenders are not Muslim. According to a modern documentary found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2FSPdgEguk, there are 45 million slaves today, the largest slaveholder being the government of North Korea. China has over 3 million slaves according to this report, but India is reported to have over 18 million slaves. There are charities that aim to lift people out of slavery, and they are not all as tainted as the one run by the Kielburgers. Consider helping out one of them.
