Jihad Watch

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

Islamic State holds Yazidi women as sex slaves, sells them for $25

Aug 29, 2014 9:37 am By Robert Spencer

Barred_Dungeon_Window_WinAccording to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general, as does this passage. “Certainly will the believers have succeeded: They who are during their prayer humbly submissive, and they who turn away from ill speech, and they who are observant of zakah, and they who guard their private parts except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed” (Qur’an 23:1-6).

These passages have not gone unnoticed. The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that meant Muslims would take slaves. In a subsequent interview he elaborated:

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” [Koran 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.

Around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti 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?”

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.”

The Islamic State acts on these beliefs, which are Qur’an-based. The rape of captive women is also sanctioned in Islamic tradition:

Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Muslim 3371)

Notice that the controversy is not over whether the Muslims can rape the captives but only over coitus interruptus. The rape is taken for granted.

“Hundreds of Yazidi women held in Islamic State prison where they are held as sex slaves or sold off as jihadi brides for as little as $25,” by Chris Pleasance, MailOnline, August 29, 2014:

Hundreds of Yazidi women being held prisoner by Islamic State fighters in Iraq are being sold off as brides for as little as $25 or repeatedly raped if they refuse, it has been claimed.

Survivors have told how beauticians were brought in to put makeup on the women before they were attacked, and said some victims were forced to call their families after to explain what had happened.

According to those who escaped Badush Prison, in Mosul, northern Iraq, the number of women held there could be in the thousands and include Christians and Turkomens – a largely Muslim group closely related to the Turks.

Following the capture of Mosul by IS (formerly known as ISIS or ISIL) in June, troops stormed the prison, took 670 Shia inmates from their cells, and executed them inside the compound.

Since then the jail has been used to house women captured by the Islamic militants during their campaign across Iraq, including many Yazidis who failed to escape from Mount Sinjar.

Nearly half a million Yazidis, a minority religious sect, were displaced after IS militants overran their ancestral home of Sinjar and began executing people for being devil worshippers.

According to Pakhshan Zangana, an official in The Kurdish Regional Government, women arriving at the jail are given two choices: convert to Islam and be sold off for between $25 and $150, or refuse and be subjected to rape and slow death.

She told The Daily Beast that one girl called her mother from inside the jail and described being raped by dozens of men in the space of just a few hours.

Others have told how some women have given birth inside the jail, only to have the babies taken away hours later, never to see them again. Some of the victims are as young as 14.

Zangana is now trying to raise money to buy the girls back, but without international aid she has been forced to turn to crowd-sourcing, promising people their money back if they help.

She said: ‘It’s complete psychological warfare. These families are already destroyed by the loss of their loved one’s, and now ISIS has them calling to tell them of the atrocities they have suffered.’

She added that the crisis did not just affect Iraq or the Yazidis, but was caused by international fighters joining IS from Chechnya in Russia, Britain and Holland.

Meanwhile, across the border in Syria, IS today posted a graphic video which apparently showed Islamist soldiers executing around 250 Syrian troops.

An Islamic State fighter claimed the men were from the Syrian government’s Tabqa air base which extremists seized on Sunday, potentially handing them warplanes, tanks, artillery and ammunition.

The airfield was the last government-controlled base in the Raqqa region, which is now solely under the control of IS fighters.

Human Rights Watch described shocking video as evidence of ‘another ISIS war crime’.

US airstrikes in Iraq have helped to stop the IS advance across the country for now, but jihadi fighters have also managed to repel government attempts at a counter attack.

    The slave trade religion of Islam was invented for this.
    The ‘prophet’ needed an excuse for his many sins.
    Sociopathic weak-willed Muhammad could not resist indulging in even the slightest temptation.
    MO even married his own daughter in law (how pathetic is that?)
    He claimed to be a prophet only so he could behave like a shameless pig.

    Many Muslims are leaving the filth of Islam and its false prophet.
    The following example is just one of many.
    Ex-Muslim reveals how Islam uses merry-go-round circular logic to pretend that Muhammad is a prophet.

    Islam “elevates” sex slaves!!!
    The story of a jewish sex slave elevated to the status of “Mother of Believers” simply because the prophet of Islam could not resist the temptation of bonking her.

      Yes, the prophet who screwed his own daughter in law and then invented a verse from “Allah” to justify his actions.

        And I believe it is da same guy who lifted up a young boy’s shirt and kissed him in those regions, also slept with his DEAD aunt for the entire night when she was in da grave.
        .
        This supposedly allows Muslim men to have sex with their DEAD wives up to 6 hours after they died. Can anyone help me out on this one, I can’t find the source. Ya can’t make this stuff up! She can’t use the ole headache ploy then.

      The Order of Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy, commonly known as the Mercedarian Friars, was founded in 1218 and ransomed captives of the Barbary Pirates.

    $25? Man, that’s a steal. Literally, cuz kidnapping is the theft of a human. But it’s a sacrament in Islam, one of the so-called religion’s many unique characteristics. The same thing is happening to the 300 pubescent Nigerian girls, Islam-driven sex slavery has been going on for 1,400 years now, since the Holy Prophet gave the practice a proper kick-off.

    Prez Dubya (Yale, Harvard) lectured us that Islam is a religion of peace. Well, Dub, do you reconcile sex slavery as a peaceable crime, like, say, speeding or smoking pot?

    • Tom Billesley says

      Aug 30, 2014 at 6:10 am

      Boko Haram asked only $12 for Nigerian girls. That’s the racism of Islam.

    The practice of this heinous affront which is exposes in the title of the above article.This is very much hated by the God of the Bible. So must He detests such a thing as this that in God’s Word He warrants the death penalty for those who engage in the evil action. For the Bible reads “Who ever steals someone to sell them as a slave or to keep them for their own slave must be killed.” Exodus 21:16.
    [E.R.V.]

      Who ever steals someone…

      God they could write back then. Whoever steals someone, the forcible theft of a human. A felony. Wait, check that. That Arabian couple who got caught with slaves in Denver never got prosecuted. Prez Dubya let them walk, probably thinking Religion of Peace and all that stuff. The A-rabs got out of town with a clean slate. Don’t know if either of the two Denver slaves were sex slaves, though. Maybe both were giving it up for a living, maybe neither. Islam has its mysteries. For me to know and you to find out, think the Moslems. No, wait again, it’s a federal offense to find out about them.

    Allah says (Quran 4:24) that I can have as many sex slaves as I want.

    So today I can afford four @ $25 = $100.

    Does the Islamic State do postal delivery?

    The recent cases of child sex, slavery, abuse and peodophilia in Rotherham and other cities in UK and the increasing numbers of these cases in Sweden and elsewhere in the West and the forced conversions of non-Muslim women in Pakistan, Iraq and elsewhere in the Islamic world in Jihad.

    The gangs of Muslim men are doing their duty for Allah, it is their way of doing their bit for their faith – it is their Jihad.

    I think Mr Spencer should write up a leaflet on this.

    the koran and the other two books it is really gross that it is like pornography, talking graphically about “coitus interruptus”, having sex (raping) slave women, getting terrified little girls to wash the “cum stains” off your garments before going to “pray” at the mosque…this is gross pornography….probably much more, it is like a fetishization of the entire of woman kind. Ancient china used to fetishize our feet by “binding”…. islam continues to fetishize all females shown by the obbsession of the “black bag covering”.

    The evil satanic Muslim religion is in a neighborhood near your homes and they walk around freely wearing their rags and towels on their heads…bunch of satanic pigs. We let them in and have a Muslim Perez right now. He was raised in
    that religion. Nuke the muz countries and expel the ones in our midst. If that appears extreme, just remember Goldberg and Foley beheadings. We will be leaving here soon with Our Lord with other believers.

    …………………………..

    These poor women.

    Islam is a religion of rape and slavery.

    I cannot convey the depth of my loathing for this evil.
