None of this mentions the Islamic slave trade. It was even more brutal. The word for black and slave is the same word in Arabic. Since slavery is built into the Koran it still exists in Islamic countries today.

[Verginius Rufus]

Turkish pirates routinely captured and enslaved European Christians traveling in the Mediterranean (or sometimes even out in the Atlantic Ocean) and raided coastal villages to enslave non-Muslims. Also, within the Ottoman Empire, Christian boys in rural areas were enslaved in the "devshirme" to become Janissaries or functionaries in the bureaucracy.

Because of the Christian victory at the battle of Lepanto, thousands of Christian galley slaves on the Turkish ships gained their freedom.
