As I recall, the U.S. Marines had something to do with putting an end to this sort of thing as well (on the “shores of Tripoli”).

I would suggest you read Six Frigates. It’s about the founding of the U.S. Navy which was largely because of the predation of the Barbary Pirates. After some stumbling they kicked Jihadi Joes potomus. First by themselves in 1805 and then with the British in 1816. The campaigns are where the U.S. Marines got their “to the shores of Tripoli” line in their anthem.

The muslims didn’t merely raid England. They even raided Iceland. And while the muslim threat ended for Britain in the 1800s, non-muslims in the middle east were enslaved well into modern times. Saudi Arabia only banned slavery after a massive western pressure in 1962. But they still practice it:

And so do other muslim shitholes like Sudan and Mauretania. -Even Pakistan as seen with the recent kidnapping of Christian girls.
