No thank you.

In the scenario above (which you'll defiantly run through if you studied computing); master pieces of software give guidance and draw the path of work for slave processes, let's take a "Master clock" as an example, that all "slave clocks" are adjusted in respects of their master.
Well, slavery to God is similar to that. It's not the human-type of slavery of uncle Tom.
To machines,slavery is something else, to God and Islam slavery (is yet again) a different thing. It's not the disturbing human-type of slavery.
When humans enslave each other, it is wrong.
But when we adjust clocks using a "Master/Slave" approach; we aren't comitting anything wrong; instead: a wise move.

It was meant to be like this; I call them "traps", for example:
Why would a person, leave the filled half of the cup and focus on the empty one, unless he wanted to tyranically control others be unique?
Just like the Muslim, who tries to make sense out of the "letters" that come in the begining of some suras:

Actually we all know what's the catch: he want to claim superiority and false "magical" powers >< Like the magicians that fill the miiddle east, and take tons of cash to do "black magic" that makes girls get married or bound a man to a lady; these stuff..funny and ironic, but let's not forget that this cartoon-like mentality and way of thinking that is worthy of kindergarden is what brought Sunni/Shia Islam back, in the speed of light years.
Ah, the Sunni Hadiths are very disturbing to be honest, especially the part of the coming of christ.. One reason that makes Sunnies hate my guts, is my disbelief in the advent of Christ. That puts me in a problem with Shia even more, because I disbelieve in the 12th Imam (Mehdi) also. Sunnies believe in him of course,too.
Many people thought of themselves as the "Mehdi", actually it did bring huge political advanteges to so many movements.
