While several "White Christian" nations indulged in the buying, selling, and enslaving of human beings for several hundred years (many using the BIBLE to defend the enslavement of Africans), it is hardly mentioned in the "politically correct" West (who love kissing up to other cultures, regardless of how depraved that are) that the "Arab Muslim" nations also carried on abductions and slave trading for 1,400 years --- and in some places, with the blessing of certain Islamic interpretations of the KORAN, it still goes on today.
