The Ottoman Empire was far from idyllic, by anyone's standards.  For one thing, slavery was a vital part of the Ottoman way of life, up until 1908.  The same could not be said for Western Europe.  In addition, the Ottoman's practiced racial and ethnically motivated slavery, as evidenced by their use of Janissaries throughout the course of their history.
