Christianity before the Mussulman conquests (during the 620-720 AD period) were far different than the Christianity that emerged during the Middle Ages and came to be the current Christian beliefs and practices. The reason they changed? The Mussulman conquests destroyed Christian artifacts and killed as many Christians as they could. Surviving Christians engaged in the the newly imported Mussulman practice of chattel slavery - this was the biggest and most lucrative business at the time.

“Chattel soavery”...
A practise of long term. As opposed to “race slavery” which has no basis in history yet dominates US discussion of slavery.

The Ottoman Empire imported slaves from the “harvest of the steppes” to deepest Africa. And their economy was dependen on that.
