It is, however, the religion of the people who hit upon the idea of the racist slave trade. (Previously slaves could be anybody.) Enslaving only people with very dark skins ensured that any escapees would be unable to disappear into the crowd.
Of course, the Koran says that no Moslem may keep another as a slave, and that any man who utters the proper words is officially a Moslem... but Shari'ah law says that a eunuch is not a man. So they castrated the male slaves they kept. Including their own sons by the female slaves they raped.
