According 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.
“Report: ISIS Puts Literal Price Tags on Abducted Girls,” by Lee Ferran, ABC News, October 3, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):
Members of the terror group ISIS are literally putting price tags on abducted women and girls to sell them as merchandise in a major Iraqi city, according to allegations cited in a new United Nations human rights report.
“UNAMI/OHCHR received a number of reports that an office for the sale of abducted women was opened in the al-Quds area of Mosul city,” says the report by the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Mosul is Iraq’s second-largest city, much of which is controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
“Women and girls are brought with price tags for the buyers to choose and negotiate the sale. The buyers were said to be mostly youth from the local communities. Apparently ISIL [ISIS] was ‘selling’ these Yezidi women to the youth as a means of inducing them to join their ranks,” the report says.
The Yezidis, or Yazidis, are a religious minority in Iraq who have been targeted along with Christians and Shias by ISIS, a Sunni extremist group.
“Some women managed to inform UNAMI/OHCHR that they had been forced to convert [to Islam] and were to be married to ISIL [ISIS] fighters and would be taken to destinations unknown,” says the report, which covers alleged human rights abuses in Iraq from July to September and was released Thursday….

There is a long history to this brutal Islamic enslavement of non-Muslim women, men and children, which included the enslavement of over one million European Christians by North African Muslims between early 17th century to early 19th century.*
* ( Rarely taught in West’s schools.)
“Between the years 1550-1730, Algiers alone was home to around 25,000 European slaves. At times, there were around 50,000 captives. Slave markets also flourished in Tunis and Morocco.”

Yes, indeed.
Barbary pirates raided the West Coast of Scotland, with impunity for around 300 years, for the specific purpose of capturing red haired women, who fetched a premium in the sex slave markets of Tangiers.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The major moving parts in the world have gotten closer, moving from the theoretical to the apparent. Coverage of the mass kidnapping and sex-slavery is being reported now where it has not been before.
Amazingly, the feminists have remained silent, preferring to retain their wrath for the white men who set them free, and even have legal preferences for women. And they are not being called on their hypocrisy in the public discourse.
The key is whether the popular belief about Moslems turns so far that the ruling elites will be left no choice but to act in the interests of their populations. The answer to the story must eventually be whether average Infidel Joe will ever get to step 3 in the necessary syllogism:
1. Moslems = crime & immorality,
2. Islam’s commands = Moslems,
3. Specific command = a specific crime’s motive
Number 1 is messy, cuz there’s crime & immorality everywhere, and recognizing that one is worse is widely felt to be a form of discrimination that is itself immoral and maybe a crime. The questions must be asked where crime & immorality are the most prevalent, and where is it growing fastest.
Number 2 is cryptic cuz almost nobody has read the Holy Ko-Ran and the Hadiths, and these sources are almost never quoted in the media coverage of the latest incident of crime & immorality by Moslems. Islamic scripture is held as an abstract; people do not know its general outlines and its major patterns like they do about, say, Christianity and it’s modern day offshoot secular humanism.
Number 3 is the goal line, the eventual conclusion that must eventually emerge, a new world order in which Moslem/Islam combo’s role and influence is either greatly increased or greatly reduced or even eliminated. Number 3 is a blank field on a form that must be filled in, the answer written out inside Infidel Joe’s mind one way or the other, before non-Moslems can respond to the grave Moslem emergency confronting us one way or another.
If follows that we must either give up, which will happen (and is happening) incrementally, or we must greatly reduce or even eliminate the Moslem/Islam combo by making it in the new world order that it is sequestered, treated and monitored like a major infectious virus like, say, the Bubonic Plague or AIDS.
boakai ngombu says
seems, as long as Islam remains a culture of shaming and guilt …
there will be the influence from the Allah god of Islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) got from the Koran (no savior) which warns the adherent to avoid following any way or path leading to hypocrisy (I. e., not fulfilling the expressed will of Allah … there will always be the pressure to be as Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts)… and there will always be the concern by the “brothers” to not neglect the holy places, especially the mosque.
infidelsJoe has a lot of teaching to do regarding personal initiative, independence, inventiveness, exceptionalism, freedom, hospitality … love. Infidels Joe will have to correct attention span issues and become concerned about others in order to even think of exorcising this deceptive ideology, even to sequester and monitor the adherents and accessories.
infidels Joe can’t imagine the pain that the shameful examples of humanity (true Muslims) can exert, the loss they can extract, the slaveries they are free to invent, to please the Allah god of Islam, which can only destroy and not build up.
the pain is coming and that could bring gain. … eliminating the Moslem/Islam combo seems the most hopeful course, since there can be no honest discussion about sin/GRACE, confession/FORGIVENESS, RECONCILIATION, TRUST, with these liars.

Yes, just getting to Step 3 in the syllogism is a tall order, and going the right direction in the event we ever get there is not guaranteed. The tendency to take the path of least resistance makes it quite possible that we’ll opt to cede increased role and influence the Moslem/Islam combo. There’ll be hell for the Infidels to pay then, but things won’t be so messy on TV or in the newspapers. And don’t even mention in the gubmint, in the classroom or in the courts.

Enslaving kafir women has NOTHING to do with Islam! Harumph!
Except…maybe it does a little: Statements about Slavery by Prominent Muslims:
-“Islam does not prohibit slavery but retains it for two reasons. The first reason is war (whether it is a civil war or a foreign war in which the captive is either killed or enslaved) provided that the war is not between Muslims against each other – it is not acceptable to enslave the violators, or the offenders, if they are Muslims. Only non-Muslim captives may be enslaved or killed. The second reason is the sexual propagation of slaves which would generate more slaves for their owner.”
Dr. ‘Abdul-Latif Mushtahari
(Director of Homiletics and Guidance
Al-Azhar University, Cairo)
Al Fawzan, a member of the Senior Council of Clerics, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious body and a member of the Council of Religious Edicts and Research, the Imam of Prince Mitaeb Mosque in Riyadh and a professor at Imam Mohamed Bin Saud Islamic University, stated:
“slavery is part of Jihad and jihad will remain as long as there is Islam.”
o9.0 p 599 Reliance of the Traveller –Shafi law) specify the enslavement or death if they resist, of women and children ( law o9.10 p 603). Captured women and children become slaves and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled (law o9.13 p 604). When an adult male is captured he can be killed, enslaved, freed, ransomed..but if he becomes a Muslim he cannot be killed. (o9.14 p 604)
Joe says
Let us remember: The Reliance of the Traveller in the English translation deliberately omits the section containing the sharia laws on slavery, but the Arabic version contains those laws. The muslims of ISIS know what these 1000 year old laws are, and are putting them into practice.
That the self-styled, hypocritical anti-slavery groups would ignore this shows they never had any commitment to opposing slavery: post WW2, western groups who claimed to oppose slavery where just communist front organisations using a stick to beat and undermine the west.

“The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,”
Indeed, that’s what he said when the Muslim Brotherhood were ruling Egypt. Today, this guy is in the era of silence and hiding. He is keeping such a low profile one could barely notice his existence.
All these islamic supremacist vermins have been crushed by the Egyptian uprising against Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood thugs.

The news here is people don’t understand this is part of Islam. Everything isis does is Islamic law.
mortimer says
There is a voluminous Sharia law commentary about the correct ISLAMIC practice of SLAVERY.
SLAVERY is an EXTREMELY detailed part of SHARIA LAW.
But (you say) SEX SLAVERY has NOTHING to do with Islam…(really? I say) it’s merely in thousands of pages of text in Islamic laws!
But don’t tell Cameron and Obama…they aren’t tired yet of the lie “Nothing to do with Islam…”
Islam is the only religion with DETAILED rules for rape.
duh_swami says
I’m surprised why more kuffar who are led around by their libido haven’t converted to Islam as it allows for multiple wives, sex slaves, mu’tah, rape of infidel women…It’s a candy store for a pervert. It’s sunnah to go about town sucking tongues of little boys, even kissing their little penis as was reported. Top that off with animal sex and necrophilia
and you have a supermarket of depraved perversion…How sweet it is…Allah willing, and he always is.
DiMu says
The subjugation of women is absolutely central to Islam. In fact, it is the stirrings of women’s liberation in the Middle East which has triggered the whole jihad movement.
Obviously Muslim men cannot cope with independent women, so fragile is their masculinity!
They’d rather keep them enslaved at home, having kid after kid which no-one can afford to feed and thus pulling their economies into the dirt and then blaming it all on the USA!
They’d have some hope if they were logical thinkers, but Islam has drummed all logic out of their brains and left them witless, stupid and judging from ISIS -utterly depraved below the level of a pig!
