In fact, during that period, about a million Europeans were enslaved by Arabs [1]. But curiously, that's rarely brought up. In fact, it's even mostly been purged from wikipedia's entry on the Arab slave trade: "Muslims also enslaved Europeans. According to Robert Davis, between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured between the 16th and 19th centuries by Barbary corsairs, who were vassals of the Ottoman Empire, and sold as slaves." is present in [1,2], but absent in [3]. I come from a region that had to deal with centuries of Ottoman raids, so it is hard to stomach how [4] phrases it as if it was some sort of mutual trade, and makes no mention of the pillaging and blood tax and using Europeans captured as children as soldiers to then raid for more slaves.
