Unlikely that many American slaves were Muslims, because the Muslim controlled slave trade in Afric aimed their raids at Christians and pagans, just as they do today.

The A-rabs controlled the EAST African slave trade (centered out of Zanzibar) long before and long after the European-run WEST African slave trade.

The fictional Kunta Kinte excepted. I still have never read anything about West African slaves being muslims.
