Before Portugal and other European nations began transporting slaves across the Atlantic, African were originally sold to Arab Muslims. After conquering the Africa, Arab Muslims began exporting slaves to their homes. The Muslims have misinterpreted the Qur'an claiming that those people who are not believers of Islam are acceptable source of slaves.
