Slavery is mentioned in the Bible WAY before 800 AD.

To this day, both Arabs and Europeans maintain that the slave trade was a USA aberration, not their own invention
To this day slavery continues, from sub-saharan africa eastwards to the Red Sea, conducted by arabs as usual.

it's in the U.S. that large sectors of the population would start condemning slavery, contrary to the indifference that Muslims and Europeans always showed for it

England outlawed slavery in 1800.

Yes, this is largely true. The one thing it omits is that the Muslims also raided the coasts of Europe for slaves, so that many of the slaves in Muslim countries were white. Probably there were more black slaves, because as the article points out they could be cheaply bought instead of fought for. But Muslim pirates and slavers were rampant in the Mediterranean for hundreds of years, and it was actually the American navy that put an end to the worst of it.

It's highly ironic that politically correct liars in academia have managed to convinced the blacks that Christianity is a "slave religion" and therefore that they should become black Muslims. Islam is the real religion of slavers.

I remember reading that Swahili was not an indigenous African language but a contrivance of Arabs as a universal language to communicate with the disparate tribes they were commiting to slavery. Sounds good anyway.

The origins of slavery is in the fall of Lucifer. Ever since then human beings have been pressing peope into servitude and misery. Apprently it was barbaric enough for God to set guidelines on how to treat slaves.
