I learn from @CEMB_forum that Reza Aslan claims Muhammad outlawed slavery. Not acc. to Muslim tradition he didn't! http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=27815.msg796471;topicseen#new …

@rezaaslan In what way is it absurd?
@holland_tom Calling me a "disappointed school teacher" for questioning your source, decision to tweet w/o communicating w/ me. Are you 12?

@rezaaslan Take a deep breath, count to ten & stop being so pompous! This overwrought response is unworthy of you. -
@holland_tom Pompous for questioning your source and decision? Alright mate. Conversation over. -
@rezaaslan Pompous for asking me if I'm 12! Your presuming to police whom I can & can't link to isn't pompous, just a bit unexpected. -
@holland_tom So if I link to, say, Robert Spencer's views of your work, & judge you on that, that's cool with you? http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/jihad-watch-on-the-untold-story-of-islam/1826725430001 … -
@rezaaslan If you feel he's making a fair point, sure. It's not for me to say who you can & can't link to, & what you can & can't think.

@rezaaslan If you were misquoted, then I apologise. If you weren't, then I disagree with you - & am perfectly entitled to say so. -
@holland_tom@rezaaslan Certainly in Muslim tradition, story of Bilal - freed slave by Muhammed himself widely knownpic.twitter.com/Y4UDcH9ShW

@MrTickle3@rezaaslan So? The Romans were always freeing their slaves - doesn't mean they abolished slavery as an institution. -
@holland_tom@rezaaslan True but that is not the argument I made. Just pointed to Muslim tradition &how important the story of Bilal is seen
