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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists abduct over 20 girls, kill elderly men and women

Dec 7, 2014 11:52 am By Robert Spencer

Abducted girls Boko HaramThe seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. 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. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess, for (in their case) they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)

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)

It is also in Islamic law: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13)

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 savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction.

“Boko Haram Abducts More Than 20 Girls In Lassa, Borno State,” Sahara Reporters, December 7, 2014 (thanks to King Dave):

SaharaReporters has just learned that insurgents belonging to the dreaded Islamist group Boko Haram last Wednesday abducted more than 20 women, most of them young girls, in Lassa, Borno State. A member of the community, Daniel Ibrahim, made the disclosure in a telephone call to SaharaReporters. A security source then confirmed the report.

“They [Boko Haram] abducted more than 20 girls from our town and killed many people, mostly old men and women,” said Mr. Ibrahim.

Mr. Ibrahim, who said he survived the attacks, revealed that the Islamist fighters had been advancing towards Lassa since late November, but had met stiff resistance from determined local fighters until Wednesday.

He said the Islamist insurgents attacked the town last Wednesday in a wave of hundreds of fighters with a variety of heavy weaponry, including tanks and explosives. They were finally able to overwhelm the local opposition and capture the town.

“They burnt almost half of the town before they left. Those of us who were lucky fled, but they massacred aged ones and younger men they could catch,” the informant stated. He said the town fell to the insurgents because the residents’ appeals to security agencies to deploy more troops and to step up land and air operations were ignored. “That’s why the town is now in the hands of Boko Haram,” he said….

    SEX SLAVES…normative Islam. Indeed, SEX SLAVES are the reward of jihadists on earth as well as in the sensual, wine-rivered Islamic paradise.

    SEX SLAVES…the true meaning of Islam.

    Muhammad had a ‘revelation’

    No longer would he have to settle for older wife Khadija or sit alone and ‘master hate’.
    He would show the world his foul disgrace and say that Allah demands he have sex slaves.

      Many of us, including most Muslims, don’t know that the whole Islamic belief owes Khadija its existence. Without Khadija (especially Khadifa’s thighs,) Islam wouldn’t have seen the light!!!

        Salah, a most unfortunate truth.

        Islam would not have come to LIGHT.

        Now the ummah can not yet see THE LIGHT (John 8;:12: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life….” (ESV) and the adherent ramble on in darkness doing what jihaddis do best…bringing more darkness and waste and spilling blood, spewing hate. pukes.

        ….most unfortunate indeed that the adherents are enslaved by the “noble” Koran (the shepherd of the Muslim) as the SHARIA (enslavement tool) is employed to mind everyone, even brothers and sisters down at the mosque (turning point; training center; armory) to please the malevolent and belligerent Allah god of Islam (unknowable; impotent to bring light, itself).

        Wow! Salah,
        Islam’s prophet:
        — Relied on someone else to tell him if his supposed revelation was from Allah or Satan whereas it would seem blatantly obvious that a true prophet would know the difference without asking and then to make matters worse he had relied on a woman whose testimony (as shown in your link) is worth only half that of a man according to Islam.
        — MO sat on an older woman’s thigh (His employer, no less) like a child and encouraged her to take pity on him with his “enough about you, let’s talk about me — me — me attitude”
        also
        — Muhammad claimed to be suicidal just to be the center of attention of Khadija’s maternal instincts.

    “appeals to security agencies …were ignored”. This is the pattern in Nigeria.

    ‘You’re right. He wouldn’t dare marry someone else while his “boss” was still alive.’

    This got me laughing, very true. No boss would tolerate an unloyal staff. Khadija wouldn’t have tolerated the pedophile (moh’d) if he had gone for another wife. I am beggining to think, given the evil tendencies of mohammed, he could have killed khadija to have his ‘freedom’ for more money, power and women.
