A lot of people conflate "conscript" (someone who is forced to enlist) and "slave" (someone who is property and forced to obey his owner). It's sloppy thinking at best, propaganda at worst.

As far as I know, there haven't been slave soldiers in the Middle East since the Janissaries were disbanded.
