I was at Elder of Ziyon's blog and clicked next on the blogger menu and Google pushes you to a left wing Muslim blog... and this passage about how a black slave in Arabia during Mohammad's time came to Islam:
So they accused me of stealing it and started searching me and even searched my private parts.' The slave girl further said, 'By Allah! While I was standing (in that state) with those people, the same kite passed by them and dropped the red scarf and it fell amongst them. I told them, "This is what you accused me of and I was innocent and now this is it."' 'Aisha added: 'That slave girl came to Allah's Apostle and embraced Islam.

So what am I supposed to assume? A culture that had black slaves accused their woman of things she didn't do and as a result she became submissive to Allah who tells her to be even more submissive to men.
