Conquest of North Africa

Islam versus Christianity?

The Muslims' conquest of North Africa and their conversions of North Africans to Islam was an incentive for Africans seeking protection from slavery. To willing convert, because Islamic law prevent Muslims from enslaving other Muslims. However, Africans south of the Sahara became victims in the slave trade.

Muslims considered non-Muslim Africans as potential slaves and became victims to Arab slave raids.

Gold and Africans, for slavery, made up most of the trade between North Africa and Arabia.
