Answer:
I think it is because most Sultans were of slave descendants or slaves themselves whether if it is the sultan of Morroco Mulay Ismael son of a ghanean slave or Ahmed Bey of Tunisia son of a european slave or Sultan Suleiman son of a slave as well.
the Mamluks of Egypt slaves who took power . Hell the whole Islamic world elite were sons of slaves . And this somehow tends to make it ok because all the government employees were slaves as well. So you can say Islamic world was rules by slaves and sons of slaves . Although it is not okay.
There is little attention also due to the heavy tradition of marrying your slave and that the slave children were born free fortunately but which meant that unfortunately the demand in Islamic countries for slaves was higher.
I wonder as well if it is not also because majority of slaves were of european origins as trip to the Mediterranean was cheaper than a trip across the Sahara making black slaves more expensive than the over abundant white slave.
It is very strange because we have way more slave narratives from slaves in North Africa than we do have from America.
I believe Hollywood had a role to play ever since the serie Roots was a success. It made since 100 of films serie revolving around the trans-Atlantic slave trade depicting it in the most tear breaking way , that it is hard to imagine any slave trade worse than this.
