assuming i did, declaring war just so you can capture whites to sell as slaves seems kind of oppress-y to me

Where are you getting the were targeted for being white and not for being targets of opportunity?

you restating a thing doesn’t make that thing true though…?

It remains true whether or not I restate it, Was restated for you benefit since you seem to be willfully ignoring it.

I’m not sure how to convince you … probably wouldn’t raid a settlement consisting of black non-muslims

Where are you getting that? You seem to be working backwards from wanting white people to have been oppressed.

Arabs absolutely enslaved Black Africans. Any Europeans who found themselves enslaved by Barbary pirates were not targeted or oppressed for being white (as has never happened to anyone, ever); some of the Barbary pirates were European.
