Another thing different about the European and Arab slave trades is what slaves were used for. Plantation slavery did not exist for one thing. Also Arabs used slaves as soldiers quite often because it was forbidden for Muslims to fight each other. It's a different thing entirely to be a soldier than it is to be forced to work on a plantation. Plantation slavery was unquestionably more disgusting and horrible
Stop sanitizing the Arab slave trade. Arabs would castrate the males so the could work as eunuchs among their harems. The woman would be taken by the man for himself to be sexually used as he wishes. The history is clear for everyone to read. What is the point of some of you guys in diminishing the horrors of the Arab slave trade?, both it and the European slave trade were pure horror shows. Let us not disrespect the memory of the blacks who suffered under the cruel Arab empire.
