[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: Dumb one, slavery in Arabia goes back to pre-Isamic times. The Muslims later organized and greatly expanded it. It included multi millions of Africans, many of the males killed, others frequently castrated the majority dying on long treks while being transported. The Arabian slave trade included blacks and a smaller number of whites. Nubia had been "supply zone" for slaves since antiquity. The Ethiopian coast, particularly the port of Massawa and Dahlak Archipelago, had long been a hub for the exportation of slaves from the interior, even in Aksumite times. The port and most coastal areas were largely Muslim, and the port itself was home to a number of Arab and Indian merchants. see > Pankhurst, Richard.
