How were slaves treated in Islamic empires compared to the U.S and yurop in general, I was once told that slaves were not seen as inferior to free men under Islamic law, is that true?
I remember reading that some of them got castrated and became servants in mosques.

The biggest and arguably most important difference is overwhelming presence of castration. In American slavery, slave-owners actually wanted their slaves to produce children because it was a cheap way to acquire more slaves without having to go all the way to Africa and back. However, for Islamic slavers, Africa wasn't a very distant location, so they almost always castrated African slaves to keep them from becoming too numerous to control.
