Valuable post.
I recommend reposting on a slow news day, so people pay attention to it.
Slavery ended as an institution in the West with the collapse of the Roman Empire, but was revived a thousand years later because of the immense profits that could be made from sugar. The middle-east and later islamic world never abandoned the practice and it exists to the present day.
“ Afghanistan: Slavery abolished in 1921.
• Persia (Iran): Slavery outlawed in 1929, though formally banned earlier in the 1906 constitution with subsequent legislation needed for enforcement.
• Iraq: Slavery banned in the early 1920s.
• Jordan: Slavery banned in 1929.
• Bahrain: Slavery abolished in 1937.
• Kuwait: Slavery abolished in 1949.
• Qatar: Slavery abolished in 1952.
• Saudi Arabia: Slavery abolished in 1962, one of the last in the region, alongside Yemen.
• Yemen: Slavery abolished in 1962.
• Oman: Slavery outlawed in 1970, one of the last Gulf states to do so.
• Mauritania: Slavery abolished in 1981, the last country globally to do so, though enforcement was weak until criminalization in 2007. Reports indicate modern slavery persists.”

The slave trade was Islam concuring the Christians throughout Africa. It was a bloody crusade by Mooselimbs. That is why most slaves were Christian.
The Arab slave trade was almost eliminated by Christian, capitalist nations.
It was never completely eliminated in places such as Saudi Arabia. It was lauded and accepted throughout the Ottoman Empire long after the end of WWI.
It continues to this day, much accelerated and broadened after Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama destabilized North Africa by taking out Gadafi, who had become a de-facto ally of the West.

“Lasted?” There is still slavery in the Middle East. I saw recent photos of a slave auction in Libya.
Not to mention the women are essentially slaves and children also. Sexual as well as household.
All of our ancestors were slaves at one time or another.
It is STILL going on.
Source: been there.
It wasn’t just Arab Muslims. The Turks were active enslavers until the early 19th century.
Lasted? It’s still.going on.
