"Ashanti" Movie, and African Slavery

Just the other day, I saw this film, called "Ashanti http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078801/. It is about the arabs/muslims, and there participation in the slave trade. Foreign powers, both western christian as well as middle eastern muslim, have been enslaving africans for centuries. Notabley amongst the european slavers were the Dutch Calvinists. http://cdero.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/the-great-awakening-calvinism-race-slavery-and-jonathan-edwards/ The calvinist Afrikaaners also dominated, and enslaved the indigenous peoples of South Africa. http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Afrikaner_Calvinism/ Here is the biblical references used to justify slavery. http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/slavery.html But arab muslims also took part in the slave trade. http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/009139.php Here is what the Quran says about slavery. http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/Quran/says_about/slavery.html The christians had there cotton fields, and the muslims there oil fields. And both have at one time or another owned slaves. And believe it or not, slavery still exists today. http://www.antislavery.org/index.htm All empires have been built upon the backs of slave labour. But yet I also feel that if the dominionists, and/or islamists, are able to gain power in the world, bondage will increase, and freedom will suffer as a result. This is because the clericalists place the power of there god over and above the rights of man. As for the artistic merit of the before mentioned film. I felt that it was disturbingly believable, and noteworthy, in it's attention to the modern slave trade in the continent of Africa. Except the one scene in which a captive witch doctor uses voodoo to kill a slaver. Unless the power of suggestion is all that strong, I do not believe that one could kill someone with a voodoo doll. But slavery is an ongoing problem in the world today, especially in regards to the continuing war in the Sudan.
