you are mistaken the biggest player in slavery were the Brits and Americans.

But it does not mean that greedy muslim for pleasures in this life did not exist, they are un-islamic

Indeed all action of Muhammad and early Islam is to abolish slavery. indeed God in the Quran wanted slavery to end.

You are talking about recent times (two centuries) can you tell me when a Muslim country was strong enough to face the west in the last two centuries to stop slavery.

We come to the same issue, don't look at what Muslims do, Look at what Islam is and follow Islam, don't follow Muslims.

If Saudis did not abolish Slavery because they benefit from it, then they are hypocrites unIslamic, God will punish in the hereafter.

Ask any Muslim (if you know any) if slavery is allowed, let us see what he will answer you
