A vast and only lightly defended border in Eastern Europe that could easily be penetrated by raiding parties.

Similar to Eastern Europe; many coastal regions sans the important harbor were also only lightly defended. Now add that most states were at war with each other every five years and that standing navies are very expensive.
>How many middle eastern or north africans have sizeable white popualtion or genetics bc of those slaves
I couldn't find anything concrete on this matter. Apparently only around one million white slaves were captured during the course of the slavery of the Barbary Pirates - and they didn't have any breeding programs for slaves like the americas had.
But many coastal areas in Spain, France and Italy became deserted in fear of the slave raids.
