What is your reaction to the article quoting Rutherford about the conditions of slaves? They “were the happiest set of people on the face of the globe, free from care or thought of food, clothes, home.”

Many grew up being taught that slavery was “the happiest time of the negroes’ existence. The slave was a member of the family, often a privileged member. He was the playmate, brother, exemplar, friend, and companion of the white man from cradle to grave.”

Did these beliefs and teachings lead to systemic racism and the widespread passage of the Jim Crow Laws? Explain.

idk you know what i mean hahahaha

islamic religious leaders have traditionally been people who, as part of the clerisy, mosque, or government, performed a prominent role within their community or nation. however, in the modern contexts of muslims minorities in non-muslim countries as well as secularised muslim states like turkey, indonesia and bangladesh, religious leadership may take a variety of non-formal shapes.

compared to religious leaders/clerics of the other abrahamic faiths, islamic clergy are said to resemble rabbis and not priests. unlike catholic priests they do not "serve as intermediaries between mankind and god",[1] have "process of ordination",[2] or "sacramental functions",[1] but instead serve as "exemplars, teachers, judges, and community leaders," providing religious rules to the pious on "even the most minor and private" matters.[1]
