Cutting Corners
Muslim scholars, the rare slave trade abolitionists, and other concerned citizens of the Flavor Rank have voiced complaints that too often Slaves traded on the Black Sea are in fact not heathens, but followers of Islam, which is forbidden by sacred law. They call for stricter regulation of the slave trade to combat this affront to God Name. But the Nobility are aghast, claiming that such restrictions would destroy the trade in Circassian beauties for their harems.

14447historical_info = flavor_tur.172.historical_info Islamic law strictly forbade taking other Muslims as slaves, yet this practice was sometimes ignored, and especially so regarding the Circassians, the most prized concubines in Ottoman and Arabic harems. Selling captives as slaves to the Ottomans was a highly profitable practice for the Crimean Khanate, and a common excuse for the hypocrisy regarding the Circassians was to claim that the trade in Circassian women was rather a marriage market.
