Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: Muslims gang-rape seven-year-old Christian girl, kidnap her father to stop him reporting them

Apr 24, 2014 12:02 pm By Robert Spencer

Christians protest against Church bombingsThis Muslim gang may have believed that to attack a Christian girl in this way was justified because 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.

“Punjab: clan gang rapes seven year old Christian and kidnaps father to stop him reporting them,” by Jibran Khan, Asia News, April 24, 2014:

Islamabad (AsiaNews ) – A “clan” of four Muslim men raped a Christian girl of only seven years old, named Sara yesterday in the village of Mally ki, Daska, Sialkot district (Punjab) . The child is now in Sialkot hospital, in the intensive care unit in a “critical” condition according to doctors. Meanwhile, the police, instead of arresting the culprits, helped the local clan to kidnap the girl’s father; Iqbal Masih was taken and hidden in a secret place to “force the family not to report the story, to reach an agreement with the criminals and to avoid a dispute of a religious background”.

The Christian community has attempted every possible means to negotiate with police, with no success. The police seem reluctant to punish the rapists and free Masih, in the hands of the torturers who abused daughter.

Activists and human rights organizations demand justice and ensure their support for the family. Following repeated appeals and pressures, the judiciary has opened an investigation and ordered the arrest of two people involved in the rape; however so far there is no news of her father’s fate.

According to recent research, the cases of sexual abuse and violence – especially against young Christian girls – are on the rise in the province of Punjab, under the complicit silence of the police and the judicial authorities. Father John Arshad, a priest involved in the protection of minority rights, condemns the sexual assault on a girl of only seven years and the kidnapping of the parent, “to put pressure on the family not to report the crime”. The “silence” of civil society, he adds, heightens the drama of the story even more.

With a population of more than 180 million people (97 per cent Muslim), Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world, the second largest Muslim nation after Indonesia. About 80 per cent of Muslims are Sunni, whilst Shias are 20 per cent. Hindus are 1.85 per cent, followed by Christians (1.6 per cent) and Sikhs (0.04 per cent). Violence against ethnic and religious minorities is commonplace across the country, with Shia Muslims and Christians as the main target, with things getting worse. Dozens episodes , including targeted attacks against entire communities – such as in Gojra in 2009 or Joseph Colony Lahore last year – or abuses against individuals (Asia Bibi , Rimsha Masih or the young Robert Fanish Masih, who also died in his cell), are often perpetrated under the pretext of the blasphemy laws .

    Living in the multicultural paradise of Minnesotastan, on Saturday mornings I frequently see an off-duty cab driver Somali out shopping, driving his used late model Lexus with four women, presumably the county wife riding shotgun, and the three lesser wives, the mosque wives, piled in the back. The polygamy is tolerated out of respect for the subtle complexities of Islam. Among other things, the AFDC-fraud on the children of the three mosque wives helps pay for the late model Lexus.

    Only in America. Check that: also in Scandinavia, France, the UK, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Australia, and also in….

      Ain’t it nice that US tax dollars are supporting the rights of poor islam0nazis to have the harem they couldn’t afford pack in whatever shittystan they crawled out of? I’m sick of it. I’m sick of supporting a government that’s rotten from the top-down w/corruption.

        Can’t leave out the women in the US who don’t go to have kinds until they are past 40 because they work so hard, then their money is taken from them in taxes and goes to support these people having kids instead of themselves having kids. Talk about messed up.

    The strange thing is that the rapists are actually afraid the father may report them, so they had to silence him by kidnapping him. I thought Pakistan was a country where the Muslims didn’t care about the consequences of raping a Christian, but I suppose they are afraid because they know a Muslim woman can always be silenced by jailing, stoning or honour killing while a Christian family will always seek justice instead of punishing the victim.

    A Christian father will never turn his anger on his little girl or think that she shamed the family. A Muslim, however, will.

    Of course that doesn’t mean Pakistan is better than we thought. It is still a hellhole and will always be.

    The only way we can overcome this evil spirit is to pray that God will make Muslims barren so they can’t brainwash more offspring or we start evangelizing like never before.

          “For the LORD loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off. The righteous will inherit the land And dwell in it forever.”

          The Lord is the master of life and fertility, but that doesn’t mean he won’t withhold it as well.

    Raping a 7 year old girl????
    That was very un-Islamic of them. !!! To be REAL Muslims they should of waited until she was 9. Then they would have been in sync with the “most perfect man that has ever lived”

      They, Islamist, will do the same here in the U.S.
      The difference will be that the Father will call
      about twenty friends and they will roundup
      the Jihadis and kill them. Makes sense to me.
      A .45 in the head and all the Cialis in the world
      won’t help. OK, that or castration.

    Pakistan: Muslims gang-rape seven-year-old Christian girl, kidnap her father to stop him reporting them
    …………………………….

    My God, what horror. This is islam in action.

    And note that the father’s kidnappers *are the police*. The authorities not only generally do nothing to protect Infidels in Dar-al-Islam, all too often they gleefully join in the oppression and brutality, as here.

    I hope the father is freed, the little girl survives, and the Christian family is able to flee the sh*t-hole of Pakistan. That’s a lot to hope for, though, and the odds aren’t good.

    I hate Islam for sacralizing this atrocity.
