Ah! so doing a bit of good works absolves you of all other sins... interesting. I wonder if you have the same opinion when it comes to other people though. I am going to guess not. 

 

Nahh he's cancelled.

Caliphs, emperors and royalty  from other nations had slaves during that time too.  

But even foreign writers like Ibn Battuta says he treated foreigners, his own people, even his slaves decently. [x]

He was just. Called by historians “Musa the Magnificent,†he was celebrated for his piety, justice, and enlightenment. Ibn Battuta—renowned Moroccan travel writer who travelled extensively throughout Asia, Africa, and the Middle East—was so impressed by the peace and security he experienced that he wrote, “There is complete security in their country,†and “Neither traveler nor inhabitant in it has anything to fear from robbers or men of violence.†Criminals feared Mansa Musa; he showed them no mercy. 

 

He amassed great wealth. According to Time magazine, through mining and trade, he became arguably the richest man of all time, with an estimated net worth of $400 billion. He was so rich he could afford to dress his 6,000 slaves in Persian silk. 

 

He made his people rich. At a time when Europe was plagued with famine, disease, and warfare, those who visited Mali observed that its inhabitants were rich and happy, owing to Mansa Musa’s celebrated rule.

Ah so now it's okay to have slaves as long as you treated them "well"! Good to know.

Please look long and hard at my post. 

Bc I definitely did not say "it's okay to have slaves as long as you treated them "well"" 

No, but you are still trying to justify it. And if you aren't then idk what they heck you are trying to say. But keep going please.
