Muslims have always lived by kidnapping and getting ransom for their captives from the West. Entire religious orders were founded in the Middle Ages to ransom them, with the monks often exchanging themselves for the captives, and IIRC, some 30,000 Western captives were liberated in Tripoli in the early 19th century.

In fact, it is thought that the revival of slavery in the West in the late middle ages came about through contacts with the Muslims by entrepreneurs, often Portuguese, who visited the Middle Eastern slave markets to buy back Christian captives being sold for slavery in the ME and Africa.
