European white people were also slaved. In the middle of the 17th century, Berber pirates of the Ottoman Empire were engaged in capturing and stealing merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea and in Christian Europe and in these assaults they captured Christian Europeans as prisoners to take them to Berber (Algeria, Tunisia, Tripolitania) and sell them as slaves. They also asked to pay tribute to sailors or European countries to leave them alone. for Muslims it was a totally legitimate practice since for them it was like a kind of holy war. women were sold as sex toys and became part of sand. Those who converted to Islam were automatically freed as slavery is prohibited among Muslims.

Irish were enslaved in the new world, among some other unfortunate Europeans
