DNND,
Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, would be the first person to be against all these actions. What they did goes against his very teachings and the essence of his message.
Just by reading the Gospel according to Matthew chapter 5, you'll find a lot of verses speakings against these acts.
For example:
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. (7-9) "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. (21-22) "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (43-44)
I think the above passages prove to everyone that enslaving, killing, torturing and dehumanizing people was never a part of Christ's message, peace be upon him.
