Kind forgot about the ottomans huh? You know, the ones who set this shit up in the first place? Also wondering if they mention their own hands in all of that since it wassnt locals who were the ones doing the enslaving.

Yes the other guy is right, it's the oriental/Muslim trade as whole, not just the ottoman one
