   People have been enslaving one another for millennia. Christianity did   
   not create the problem. If anything, Christians were rallying against   
   the practice from the beginning and there are lots of excerpts in the   
   New Testament saying as much. If people calling themselves Christians   
   participated in the trade, that does not mean that the religion endorses   
   it. Meanwhile, Islam _fully_ endorses slavery and the practice continues   
   in areas they control to this day.

   There is nothing to disavow. A religion cannot be held responsible for   
   what people claiming to be its adherents do. The New Testament is clear   
   in the idea that Christians should be rallying _against_ slavery.   
      
   Finally, your opinion of Christianity is of no interest to me.
