Islamic and Christian historians have called for a number of Muslim states to apologize for their part in the slave trade.

The Ottoman Empire and North African Islamic states raided European countries for slaves, and have yet to apologize or show remorse for these actions. Between 1480 and 1830, one and a quarter million white Europeans and North Americans were raided into slavery in north Africa by the north African states. Military action ended most of the slave trade, at least the part of the slave trade that kidnapped white Euros and North Americans.

(The Islamic Barbary pirates and the slavery of Americans is why Thomas Jefferson had his Qu’ran. It was to ‘know the enemy’ thing … NOT a ‘get to know the Muslims so we can all get along’ thing.)

** I highly doubt any Islamic nation will show remorse or officially apologize. Slavery is still going on in many of these countries. Africa still has a flourishing slave trade. Africans are still enslaving other Africans. Many Islamic countries still not only allow, but encourage, slavery of non-muslims. The request of these folks to obtain a statement or remorse, or apology, can’t happen while slavery is still going on IMHO.
