"Inevitable" from whose perspective?
Quote:, the depredations of Arabian pirates forced all non-Islamic trade from Indian Ocean till Da Gama presented them with something they couldn't contend with and slaving in sub-Saharan Africa was the basis of the wealth of Zanzibar. It was Islamic ports that sold slaves to the Spanish starting the Transatlantic slave trade.
The US was built by slaves on land stolen from natives.

Inevitable from the perspective of Europeans who strangely viewed attacks and slave raiding against their coasts as not peaceful.
Slaves bought from Islamic ports.
The OP thinks this plague is due to our not accepting this Islamic golden age and the 'glorious' Ottoman Empire as the dominant world power.
Weren't you paying attention?
