Yes, Felix. Slavery existed before the West. Arabs enslaved. Others did too. But only one civilization industrialized it.

Mention the crimes of Western empire, and suddenly everyone remembers a history book. Yes, Felix. Slavery existed before the West. Arabs enslaved. Others did too. But only one civilization industrialized it. Only one turned it into a global economy. Only one mapped it, scaled it, insured it, and called it "progress." Only one wrote entire philosophies to justify it. Turned skin into currency. And built empires on bones. You didn’t inherit the Arab slave trade. You inherited the profits of the Atlantic one. Your museums are full. Your banks are full. Your borders are closed. Your "developed" world was built on bodies that still lie unburied. So don’t ask who sinned in history. Ask who still lives off the spoils. And who still demands silence from the dead. Because if your best defense is "others were cruel too," Then you’ve already admitted your civilization has no conscience. Only competition.

Haha, perhaps read up on the arab muslim slave trade, and while you are at it, where the word "slave" comes from ;)
