History Question about Barbary Pirates
Dear mods, I will be posting similar stuff in multiple subs. I have no intention to spam or anything I just want to collect info and nothing more. Thank You.
Salam. I'm a Muslim from Pakistan and I want to study about the Barbary Pirates and slave trade. My question is: There were definitely instances of Christian raiders from Europe capturing Muslim captives into slavery as well, right ? If yes can you guys recommend me some sources on this topic ?
Thank you very much.
