The Qur’an allows for the owning of sex slaves:
If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you will not be partial. (Qur’an 4:3)
This verse is the basis for Islamic polygamy, allowing a man to take as many as four wives, as long as he believes he is able to “deal justly” with all of them. But justice in these circumstances is in the eye of the beholder. Ibn Kathir says this the requirement to deal justly with one”s wives is no big deal, since treating them justly isn’t the same as treating them equally: “it is not obligatory to treat them equally, rather it is recommended. So if one does so, that is good, and if not, there is no harm on him.”
The verse goes on to say that if a man cannot deal justly with multiple wives, then he should marry only one, or resort to “what your right hands own” — that is, slave girls.
The Qur’an commentator Maulana Bulandshahri explains the wisdom of this practice, and longs for the good old days:
During Jihad (religion war), many men and women become war captives. The Amirul Mu”minin [leader of the believers, or caliph — an office now vacant] has the choice of distributing them amongst the Mujahidin [warriors of jihad], in which event they will become the property of these Mujahidin. This enslavement is the penalty for disbelief (kufr).
He goes on to explain that this is not ancient history:
None of the injunctions pertaining to slavery have been abrogated in the Shari”ah. The reason that the Muslims of today do not have slaves is because they do not engage in Jihad (religion war). Their wars are fought by the instruction of the disbelievers (kuffar) and are halted by the same felons. The Muslim [sic] have been shackled by such treaties of the disbelievers (kuffar) whereby they cannot enslave anyone in the event of a war. Muslims have been denied a great boon whereby every home could have had a slave. May Allah grant the Muslims the ability to escape the tentacles of the enemy, remain steadfast upon the Din (religion) and engage in Jihad (religion war) according to the injunctions of Shari”ah. Amen!
This is by no means an eccentric or unorthodox view in Islam. The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that as they waged jihad warfare against infidels, Muslims would take slaves. He clarified what he meant in a subsequent interview:
…Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels”¦.Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars–there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.
When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Qur’an 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point–there is no disagreement from any of them. […] When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her.
Right around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti activist and politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, also spoke out in favor of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and the parameters of Islamic morality.
…A merchant told me that he would like to have a sex slave. He said he would not be negligent with her, and that Islam permitted this sort of thing. He was speaking the truth”¦.I brought up (this man”s) situation to the muftis in Mecca. I told them that I had a question, since they were men who specialized in what was halal, and what was good, and who loved women. I said, “What is the law of sex slaves?”Â
The mufti said, “With the law of sex slaves, there must be a Muslim nation at war with a Christian nation, or a nation which is not of the religion, not of the religion of Islam. And there must be prisoners of war.”
“Is this forbidden by Islam?,” I asked.
“Absolutely not. Sex slaves are not forbidden by Islam. On the contrary, sex slaves are under a different law than the free woman. The free woman must be completely covered except for her face and hands. But the sex slave can be naked from the waist up. She differs a lot from the free woman. While the free woman requires a marriage contract, the sex slave does not–she only needs to be purchased by her husband, and that”s it. Therefore the sex slave is different than the free woman.”
While the savage exploitation of girls and young women is an unfortunately cross-cultural phenomenon, only in Islamic law does it carry anything approaching divine sanction. Here is yet another human rights scandal occasioned by Islamic law that the international human rights community and the mainstream media cravenly ignore.
“Islamists kidnap 100 schoolgirls who face living hell as sex slaves,” from the Associated Press, April 15:
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Suspected Islamic extremists abducted about 100 female students from a school in northeast Nigeria before dawn Tuesday, but some of the teens managed to escape from the back of an open truck, officials said.
The girls were abducted after midnight from a school in Chibok, on the edge of the Sambisa Forest that is an insurgent hideout, said Borno state police commissioner Tanko Lawan.
Gunmen killed a soldier and police officer guarding the school, then took off with at least 100 students, a State Security Service official said.
A local government official said he did not know how many of the girls have escaped but that “many” have walked through the bushes and back to Chibok. The girls were piled into the back of an open truck and, as it was traveling, some grabbed at low-hanging branches to swing off while others jumped off the slow-moving vehicle, he said. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to give information to reporters.
All schools in Borno state were closed three weeks ago because of an increasing number of attacks by militants, who have killed hundreds of students in the past year. But the young women — between 16 and 18 years old — were recalled to take their final exams, the local government official explained.
Islamic extremists have been abducting girls to use as cooks and sex slaves.Insurgents from the Boko Haram terrorist network are blamed for attacks that have killed more than 1,500 people this year alone. The group — whose name means “Western education is forbidden” — has targeted schools, mosques, churches, villages and agricultural centers in increasingly indiscriminate attacks. They have also made daring raids on military barracks and bases.
The extremists also are accused of Monday morning’s explosion at a busy bus station in Nigeria’s capital that killed at least 75 people and wounded 141.

Boko Haram, whatever happens to you is well deserved.

These filthy beasts are only doing what “allah” (Satan), as relayed from his murderous, psychopathic, pedophile “prophet” – Mad Mo – has decreed. And Mad Mo is their all-time example of the “perfect man”. Ugh! How repulsive!
There will truly be no peace in this world until islam is forever banished like the plague.

One more showcase, as Robert sufficiently shows, yet another clear example of basic provable Islam in practice.
And some still hesitate, or flat refuse, to call for the banning of the practice of Islam in our nation.

King Dave says
Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau promised a few weeks ago to start selling Christian child sex slaves to his Islamic Holy men. I see he keeps his promises.
The liberal apologists will claim the plight of these girls is merely Islamophobia or just a myth. They don’t have to worry, there are no plans in place to stop Boko Haram.

Jax Tolmen says
I read a similar article on the local Ninemsn page; they chose to omit any mention of their intended use as sex slaves. I don’t understand why journalists are so intent on burying their hands in the sand and denying the realities before them.
This is exactly why I don’t trust journalists any more, the phrase ‘journalistic integrity’ is a paradox and their profession is laughable. Their appeasement and pandering is criminal though, they’re indirectly supporting these acts for refusing to report the facts.
umbra says
Journalistic integrity started to degrade many decades ago. During ww2, mass media was used as a propaganda tool by all sides of the war. It remained so after the war, but evolved from chiefly (though not solely) a political instrument – for maintain support for governments – to a social-political instrument for reprogramming the populace according to specific social-political ideals (re-culturing the people).
Now, the propagation of propaganda is often challenged by the truth, although the proper word is here is “reality”, since “truth” is subjective for those who subscribed to relativism – an idea taught, practiced and upheld in the “modern” education systems of western countries today, implicitly at the very least. It is difficult to argue against reality since reality is dependent on facts such as physical observations, physical evidence, etc. Therefore, to counter reality, “truth” in relativistic term is evoked.
News in the modern world is not necessarily first and foremost informative, but in many instances sensational so that it could draw the attention of the crowd. In this regard, it can be seen as a form of entertainment with added snippets of information strung in.
With a biasing sway towards a particular social-political ideology coupled with the distraction of sensationalisation, reality if often muddled in the process and some cases, completed distorted. In modern mainstream western (although this also applies to developing and undeveloped worlds – the irony in the western world is note worthy in that these societies quite often stifle that which they espoused – freedom, independent and dissenting thoughts/ideas) journalism, journalists and editors all tow the same line. Those who do not are not part of the mainstream. Hence, the popularity of online blogs. It must be said that not all these blogs provide reliable information, they simply provide reports and/or opinions that major media outlets neglect.
One observation is that mainstream western media (thus journalism) is infested with left-wing/progressives, occupying operational and managerial positions in many media companies (the hardcores are with public broadcasters – PBS, BBC, NPR, SVT, etc). This phenomenon goes back to the universities that churn out leaders (not just in journalism) of tomorrow. Many of these places for the repository, discovery and propagation of human knowledge have been turned into ideological (mostly left-wing/progressive) incubation centres of various extremities.
There has been a definite shift towards the left in university culture and attitudes in many many universities. A decade ago, it was predominantly student activism that drove the shift. Today however, academics are actively involved with the push. This imbalance may very well compound societal problems with each successive generation. Universities are generally producing somewhat skilled/knowledgable fools – defective robots that may be able to perform or learn to perform some tasks very well, but unable to logically and objectively think for themselves.
Cindy Mccoy says
This is so disgusting, how can these people think they are so modest, keeping everything covered and all. Then they do this kind of stuff. You people are very inconsistent, and not peaceful and good like you say. You are cruel and heartless. Why would anyone want to become a muslim???? Maybe a guy would but they fill their heads with dreams and crap that will never come to pass!!!!! There is NOT going to be a big sex fest in heaven, no matter what anyone tells them!!! And God, the true God (Jesus Christ) does not approve of this kind of behavior. And He is the ultimate Judge there is no one more powerful than Him.

dumbledoresarmy says
At least some of the girls, being brave and quick-thinking, managed to escape!
From the article – “a local government official said he did not know how many of the girls have escaped but that “many” have walked through the bushes and back to Chibok.
“The girls were piled into the back of an open truck and, as it was traveling, **some grabbed at low-hanging branches to swing off while others jumped off the slow-moving vehicle** {my emphasis – dda}, he said. ”
Atta girls!!
dumbledoresarmy says
From another report, also describing how some of the girls managed to escape.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-16/more-than-100-nigerian-schoolgirls-taken-hostage/5393024
More than 100 Nigerian schoolgirls taken hostage by suspected Islamist insurgents
“One of the students who managed to escape said she was sleeping when the armed men burst into their room.
“The men loaded items into trucks and ordered some of the girls to climb in.
“She said the convoy had passed about three villages when **the truck she was travelling in developed a fault, giving her and up to 15 other girls the opportunity to escape into the bush.** {my emphasis – dda}.”
This, of course, was all happening in the dark; so once the girls were off the truck and in the bush (how thick was it?) they had a sporting chance. Sounds as though the dirty wanna-be raping-and-pimping woman-stealing mohammedthugs were all in the cab of the truck…maybe they didn’t even realize that some of their “bag” had jumped ship.
dumbledoresarmy says
A bit more on the story. Nota bene – the claim that many of the girls had subsequently been rescued, turns out to be probably untrue.
But I do not doubt the account of one of the girls who managed to escape by herself. She says the jihadis pretended to be Nigerian soldiers. “War is deceit”.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-17/100-nigerian-schoolchildren-freed-after-boko-haram-abduction/5396474
“…Girls were tricked into thinking kidnappers were soldiers
“Earlier, officials said the Boko Haram raiders had duped the schoolgirls into thinking they were soldiers come to protect them before abducting them. A few of the girls later escaped.
“When we saw these gunmen, we thought they were soldiers, they told all of us to come and walk to the gates, we followed their instructions,” said 18-year-old Godiya Isaiah [note: this name suggests she is a Christian rather than a Muslim – dda] who managed to flee from her abductors.
“But when the armed men started ransacking the school stores and set fire to the building, the terrified girls who were being herded at gunpoint into vehicles, realised they were being kidnapped.
“We were crying,” Ms Isaiah said, recounting how she later jumped from a truck and ran away to hide in the bush.””
Tom Lewis says
Is that all Islamic men ever live for is sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. Do Islamic men think of anything else. If you die you get 72 virgins. Wow what happens when you finish off the last virgin, does sex become boring? This Islamic sex thing sounds like a whole religion of sex-aholics. I mean is sex a religious event in the Mosque. Do Imams talk about sex during their meeting while having Mosque. This hole thing about sex is becoming more and more weird. Like when do you sleep, or eat, or work, or play sports, or read, or PRAY. It sounds like all muslin men do is have sex with virgins. What about not having sex or is that like being Gay?
