@morrocan_moorish1: the Barbary pirates 🇩🇿🇲🇦🇹🇳🇱🇾 The Barbary corsairs, also known as the Barbary pirates, Ottoman corsairs,[1] or naval mujahideen (in Muslim sources),[2] were mainly Muslim corsairs and privateers who operated from the North African coast, known in Europe as the Barbary Coast.[3] In addition to seizing merchant ships, they engaged in razzias—raids on European coastal towns and villages, mainly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, as well as Great Britain, Ireland,[4] and Iceland (commemorated as the Turkish Abductions).[5] These included capturing Europeans and selling them at slave markets, known as the Barbary slave trade. #barbary #amazigh #corsair #pirate #History
