“They face the terrifying prospect of being forced into marriage or sold as sex slaves…” As I noted here and elsewhere, there are many Qur’anic passages and present-day Muslim clerics who justify this practice on Islamic grounds. Here for your reference is another passage that assumes that a man will have both wives and sex slaves, and that makes it clear that that is exactly what the “captives of the right hand” are:
“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)
“Islamic State fanatics kidnap more than 3,000 women and girls in 2 week rampage,” by Nick Dorman, Mirror, August 16, 2014:
Up to 3,000 women and girls have been kidnapped by Islamic State thugs on the rampage in Iraq over the past two weeks, it is feared.
They face the terrifying prospect of being forced into marriage or sold as sex slaves, reports the Sunday People.
Amnesty International said the victims, some just babies, were snatched from villages overrun by the heavily-armed jihadists.
Hundreds of male villagers who refuse to convert to Islam have been mercilessly shot dead.
Meanwhile US jets continued to pound Islamic State positions and British planes airlifted relief supplies to refugees yesterday.
The militants have executed 700 members of the Al-Sheeitat tribe in eastern Syria, a monitoring group claimed last night.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said many were beheaded.
It also emerged that 400 men from Iraq’s Yazidi community were slaughtered in cold blood in just 48 hours after the village of Kojo was taken.
Senior Kurdish officials said 82 men died on Friday and 312.
Militants took men away in groups of a few dozen and shot them with assault rifles on the edge of the village, according to a wounded man who escaped by feigning death.
They then strolled around finishing off any who appeared to be alive with their pistols, the 42-year-old said.
He added: “They thought we were all dead. When they went we ran away.
“We hid in a valley until sundown, and then we fled to the mountains.”
A hundred women and girls from Kojo were taken away.
Their fate is uncertain, like thousands of women snatched since Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS, launched its cruel onslaught on August 3.
Amnesty spokeswoman Donatella Rovera said yesterday: “The victims are of all ages.
“It seems they took away entire families, all those who did not manage to flee.”

U.K’s politically unreliable, untrustworthy P.M Cameron, who has banned anti-Islamic jihadists, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, from entry to U.K, now attempts catch- up on the murderous Muslims of the Islamic State:-

Good on the Bishop of Leeds! It’s a start.
And I observe, in the blogspot that quotes the letter, that two *other* bishops, those of Manchester and Worcester, also signed on, and that they did so with the backing of the Archbishop of Canterbury! (I also observe that Leeds and Manchester are located within one of the most heavily Islamised parts of the UK, so perhaps these bishops have collided with reality in the course of doing the rounds of their respective flocks).
My advice to UK jihadwatchers: get behind these people and PUSH. HARD. *Especially* if you are a churchgoer of any description, and most especially if you belong to the Anglican communion.
Nota bene: Anglican bishops get to sit in the House of Lords. If more Bishops become Islamoaware, then this could have a significant effect.
::Thinks:: I wonder whether this indicates that the warnings emanating from grassroots persons such as Canon Andrew White, the Vicar of Baghdad (his church being St George’s Anglican, a British-raj era foundation), and such as our own astute Australian Anglican priest, Rev Dr Mark Durie, author of “The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom”, not to mention the increasingly loud cries of alarm and distress coming from Anglican communities and their leaders within western and eastern Africa, where congregations are under direct attack from jihad, may not be starting to get through to the leadership?
Thought, for British jihadwatchers: why not get copies of Mark Durie’s book “The Third Choice” and then give it, with a polite covering letter along the lines of “this will help you to understand what is happening to the Christians of Egypt, Iraq and Syria”, to the Bishop within whose diocese you reside. Throw in with it a copy of ex-Muslim now-Christian Sam Solomon’s book “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”, for good measure, and recommend it as a way to understand what is going on with Muslims in the UK and in Europe and the western world – or basically anywhere where Muslims constitute an expanding, vociferous and fractious minority causing more trouble and expense than any *other* minority group also present.

May I add Robert Spencer’s “Not Peace but a Sword” and “The Truth About Muhammad” to that book pool?
Angemon says
No, one only needs to learn islamic orthodoxy and history to learn what their fate will be. Poor women… 🙁
chrisleo says
I honestly think, despite the horrors of IS, which are terrible for the individuals caught up in this, that the Islamic State is doing us all a massive favour, people are starting to wise up to Islam, if you take a look at the sky forum and others people are starting to express opinions that have been closeted away for years, but always there underneath the surface, you wouldn’t read opinions like this just a few weeks ago, unless you went to the right places of course.

It is said that an army travels on its stomach.. (well fed with provisions) This army apparently has other means of transportation.
Just A Concerned Citizen says
The local Bahraini Arabic language newspaper had a sidebar item on the front page Friday, describing a Yazidi leader imploring the US, UK and anyone else with military clout to strike two schools outside of Mosul where IS has been stashing their women. He strongly believes that it is better for them to “die with honor” from an air raid than to be raped to death by the enemy.
Not holding my breath to read this report in any western media, of course.

Such is the mentality and integrity of both entities..

Imagine if the Israeli Defense Forces did this.
It would be all over the news 24/7 with graphic images.

Me neither.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
So, His Highness Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has turned loose his fighters to go ahead an grab thousands of girls and women. Which brings up a question: for what use have these females been kidnapped? I’ll give a hint: it’s a 3-letter word that begins with the letter s and ends with the letter x. A secondary motive would be the wealth to be gotten by pimping them gals to other Moslem men, all of whom are dissolute.
Sex and money is of course the driver in all societies, past and present. That’s human instinct and helps mankind procreate and prosper. But the idea of civilization is to put a limit on what you can do to gain it, which is why kidnapping is such a serious crime in civilized societies, of which there are exactly none in Dar al-Hellhole.

How can leaders of the free world know these facts – those women and children treated like cattle – and fail to respond in a swift and decisive manner. I truly despair.

Walter Sieruk says
The God of the Bible hates kidnapping so much that He had even declared the the death penalty is fitting for those who engage in that heinous practice.
For it is written in the Bible “Whoever steals someone to sell as a slave or to keep for their own slave must be killed.” Exodus 21:16. [E.R.V.]
