Alternative to African slavery

The annoying thing about how this thread is going is people not understanding that Arabs can be black and African and Portuguese Identified and/or aligned people could be considered consider.

African is a Eurasian concept.
I made a point to include Arabized Africans, though I think the better term is Afro-Arabs/black Arabs.
 
I used "African" here to identify indigenous folks basically below the Sahara and not identifying as "Arabs" or immersed in the Arab culture. If I recall correctly, Islam forbids Muslims making those who are Muslim as slaves, obviously some slaves convert but I don't know what happens to them I assume they remain slaves. The point is still valid, native/African person were taken as slaves for export by outside forces (European or Arab) and native/African persons were most often the forces that made the initial acquisition of the slaves who were then transported onwards to entrepots where they were sold to the outsiders.
