And American Whites saw Blacks as inherently inferior. Was slavery in the US also religiously motivated or perhaps rather racially and financially motivated? The Berbers were pirates and slave traders that targeted Europeans and also Subsaharan Africans if they could get their hands on them. This was their lifestyle. They weren't a unified entity but a collection of pirate cities and states. This was a piracy/slave trader conflict. Not a religious war.
Just because religions plays/played a huge role in the life of people doesn't mean everything single thing is solely or primarily motivated by that religion. Religion isn't everything.
If you think that's me defending Islam as a religion then you're a fool. Unlike you I can and will separately judge the people and their religion and will not pretend that someone becomes an entirely different person just because they've changed their religion.
