Two raiding parties with the collusion of Icelandic citizens who became Muslim lead two different sailing groups to Iceland. The group from what is now Morrocco was the smaller raid and pillage. The group from Algiers took over 400 prisoners, many of whom were sold as slaves; others were ransomed.

This quick linked summary ties to a book that will give you points to consider when certain topics are raised in impolite discussions.

I didn’t notice this trending on Twitter. Must not be important.

Hate to agree with Fightn, but the leaders of the raids were Dutch converts to Islam. If you’re trying to make a point that Africans weren’t the only people enslaved, we already knew that.

Over the entire course of history there have been more white slaves than black slaves

The Middle East/North African slave trade was magnitudes greater than the North American slave trade

Not that any of this matters. Just interesting that you don’t hear about it because it doesn’t fit a narrative
