Sisters, how would you defend Islam when asked about slavery & concubines?

Enslaving only happens during war, also raping slaves is forbidden. It is better than the americans that would rape and kill all women and children alike. Or piling Irakese soldiers naked up. Also the prophet mohammed(saw) asks the men to release or marry their slave women who have reverted to islam.
Humans during war become animals. They lose their minds and their temper.
