You can’t understand Islam - including today - without mentioning slavery.

Islam and slavery?

Do a study and you will learn that the slavers were largely Islamic. African slaving was a huge industry making some tribal chiefs very large and wealthy. Most of the traders were muslim and America got into the trade after the muslims had been running it for a thousand years or more. The Americans got in, and got out, and the islamics still continued.... to today in some areas.Europeans were into it and dropped it after America. Its just that America took a wrap... a global wrap.
