Ever seen a movie about the Prophet Mohammed? I've seen plenty about Jesus but nothing about Mohammed.
It is downplayed because it is over exaggerated. All numbers are estimations based off pure guesses and the number of black Arabs present today in Arab countries, not actual records of blacks brought into Arab lands as slaves.
Arabs took much higher numbers of European, Persian and Turkish slaves and they documented that. The Ottomans continued this practice. The amount of slaves bought from Africans and exported to Africa was VERY minimal. This phenomena is exaggerated on purposes to fulfill the wishes of Ant-Islamic western goals, which is to keep blacks from becoming Muslims.
A goal that Afro-centrists are also idiotically aligning themselves with. Human trafficking from east Africa had a slight uptick when the Portuguese and the British held territories in East Africa and controlled its coasts. There was NEVER any concerted effort to enslave black Africans by Arabs, nor was there any racialization of slavery by the Arabs. Also, note that early on (something you refuse to acknowledge) the Arabs were BLACK themselves and many still are today, but are being told that they are descendents of slaves. A nice trick by Eurocentrists to continue to usurp these Arabs of their rightful identity. A trick that you are cosigning on as well. It seems to never fail that Western blacks always join sides with Eurocentrist Western whites.

The sickening past of the Islamic Slave trade...
You mean Christian (extremist) b*mbos who hide behind the computer thinking their religion is the best and other religion is evil such as Islam? Copy and pasting sh*tty sources to validate your theory and trying to insert false facts with no valid documented ingredients? I have two words for yah **** ***

Emphasis on "ANCIENT ISRAEL". Saudis banned slavery in 1960 lol really. Not defending israel but your logic is flawed. It's not about 2000 years ago, but what we are dealing with now. We must learn from the past but also can't use it to excuse the problems of "now". Point blank and unarguable is that part of the world "middle east" has significant humanity problems no where else does. Women can't drive!! Let's not compare apples to oranges.

Some of those eunuchs ended up wielding enormous power and influence from behind the throne.
As for those who would condemn, and rightly so, the Muslims who hold, and deal in, slavery...checked out the sex trade in many of the oh so enlightened West? I wonder just how many of those women and boys are there voluntarily? ...and not just in the sex trade, either.
Before getting all hot and bothered about those evil bastards in Saudi Arabia, should our own houses be rock proof???

........are all of us innocent of buying goods fashioned by slave labor elsewhere, or even in a tenement building in NYC? London? etc...
Do we see those kids, boys and girls, out on the street hustling to bring home enough money to satisfy the pimp? Or sew enough garments to please the company owner?
I'm accusing no one in particular of being hypocritical. I was, and am, speaking of the West in general. We really should clean up our own houses before we go condemning, however right we may be, others. Shouldn't we?
That's the hypocrisy that I see.

What? If you think Trump is the answer to any problems the world currently faces then you are seriously deluded.
As for the slave trade, it's by no means an exclusively Islamic trait! Many empires and countries have had legitimate slave trades backed by legislation. 2 (or more) wrongs don't make a right but to label the entire Islamic race as savages is just wrong.
One your eyes old bean.
