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

UK: Muslims kept slave workers in squalid conditions

Dec 18, 2014 8:53 pm By Robert Spencer

UK policeThe Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50)

Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).” (Muslim 3901)

Muhammad took female Infidel captives as slaves: “Narrated Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives. She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr.’” (Bukhari 5.59.512) Mahr is bride price: Muhammad freed her and married her. But he didn’t do this to all his slaves:

Muhammad owned slaves: “Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!’” (Bukhari 8.73.182) There is no mention of Muhammad’s freeing Anjasha.

“Squalid homes of freed slaves,” Oldham Evening Standard, December 17, 2014 (thanks to Melanie):

Police have released images of the squalor that they say 10 alleged slave-workers had to endure in Rochdale after two men were charged and three others arrested in connection with enslavement and trafficking offences.

As the Chronicle reported yesterday, 20 east European men and women were rescued after police swooped on a picture framing factory in Ings Lane, Rochdale.

Greater Manchester Police officers — alongside partner agency teams from Rochdale Council, the Home Office and HMRC — executed a warrant at the factory on Monday.

The search warrant was executed at part of the Caldershaw Centre, on Monday as part of Operation Retriever, which is designed to tackle human trafficking in Rochdale.

It is alleged that the men and women who lived there were paid £25 for an 80-hour week after deductions for rent and travel.

Images released by police also show the shocking conditions in which the workers were living. They were all cramped into one small terraced house in Rochdale which had plaster falling from the damp-infested walls.

As a result of the warrants Mohammed Iqbal (51), of Belmont Way, Rochdale, and Najum Mohammed Iqbal (40), of Harrison Close, Rochdale, were both charged yesterday with knowingly requiring another person to perform forced or compulsory labour.

Two other men, aged 34 and 43 were arrested on suspicion of the same offences, while a 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of immigration offences. All three have been bailed an are due to appear before court.

A police spokesman said: “Of the 20 people found to have been working in the factory, 13 men and women, all from Slovakia, are now thought to have been victims of the enforced labour and trafficking offences….

    “Muhammad freed her and married her. But he didn’t do this to all his slaves”

    Here’s the story of Safiya, the jewish slave girl who became the “Mother of Believers,”
    revered by Muslims all over the world.

        Newcastle, Bristol, and I believe Leicester and those are only the ones we know about.
        At the same time almost every other day women and girls are being molested and attempted kidnapping and rape occur

    Slavery is a huge part of Islam. Most people have no idea how huge. A huge percentage of Sharia law is concerned with slavery because its rules were so necessary for the running of Islamic states.

    Most people have no idea that each Muslim is to receive a minimum of 70,000 slaves each in the Islamic paradise.

    Islamic slavery is normative and eternal.

      All the seemingly random news items e.g. about fighting in Mali, civil war in the Central African Republic, Sudan and South Sudan, Xinjiang, Mindanao, Thailand, Burma, and even more obscure issues such as ongoing tensions between Zanzibar and continental Tanzania, etc., all fall into a neat pattern if one does two things:

      (1) Look at a world map, preferably a map that indicates the countries where Arabic is spoken. The Arabic-speaking world is by universal agreement the center of Islam, even though most Muslims are not Arabic speakers. Famously, the Qur’an is regarded as authentic only if read in the (purportedly) original early Arabic.

      (2) Understand that racist supremacism (especially as between North African Arabic-speakers and sub-Saharan “black Africans” has deep and broad roots in all Islamic societies. The common word for black African in many Muslim countries is “abeed” (Arabic for “slave”).

      Non-Muslim black Africans (as well as citizens of all the other dar-al-harb countries now experiencing Muslim crusades are, of course, well aware of these facts. Only the Leftist/Muslim cabal in Western governments, Saudi shills (Bush family), and the PC and prostituted mainstream media still try to hush up these indelicate and uncomfortable facts.

        “(1) Look at a world map, preferably a map that indicates the countries where Arabic is spoken. The Arabic-speaking world is by universal agreement the center of Islam, even though most Muslims are not Arabic speakers….

        aswell as citizens of all the other dar-al-harb countries now experiencing Muslim crusades…”

        Oh oh, let’s hope Angemon doesn’t alight on this helpful analysis with his objection that the terms Dar al Harb and Dar al Islam have no geographical (and Counter-Jihad) usefulness because no maps show them.

    I’ve got a copy of the Holy Qur’an with Commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali. I’m looking at the commentary on 33:50 and like a lot of other verses he doesn’t even try to whitewash the “whom the right hand Posseses”. However he gives honorable mention of “the wives of his enemies” and how these “marriages” were cause for their “tribes to be liberated” and “led to the union and pacification of the whole tribe”. Of course no mention of their rape and witnessing the slaughter of their sons and husbands.

    This is a Koran from a supposedly “moderate” Muslim. Unfortunately the labels “sick” and “degenerate” can be applied to how Ali either avoids the verses of the sword or attempts to whitewash Mo’s history of rape and mass murder.

    The book is front to back nothing but Christian and Jew bashing.

      Good point!

      The British Broadcasting Caliphate is in a constant state of desperate Taqiyya and Kitman to prove how inclusive and multicultural they are to please their masters and retain the right to collect the licence fee (jizya) from the non believers.

        “The British Broadcasting Caliphate is in a constant state of desperate Taqiyya and Kitman to prove how inclusive and multicultural they are to please their masters and retain the right to collect the licence fee (jizya) from the non believers”……except that that BBC hasn’t exactly been pleasing their current masters too much recently, and their current masters are also having to look back over their shoulders at the people who elect THEM, and these people are absolutely p*ssed off with the present Government AND the BBC and its ‘tatqiyya’ and ‘Kitman’ and the uninvited specimens in the UK populace that seem to make it all necessary. So there’s talk about turning the BBC into a subscription service, or at least greatly reducing the fee. By the way, what exactly IS ‘Kitman’? Is it the DIY trade’s answer to Batman?

        • Know Thy Enemy says

          Dec 19, 2014 at 2:03 pm

          Taqiyya is outright lying, whereas Kitman is lying by omission. More details here.

    Britain (and other European countries) have all these additional problems (which they wouldn’t usually have) just because of the mass immigration of 3rd worlders. They are destroying their countries, they are destroying their heritage and giving away their birth right.A

    • Michael Copeland says

      Dec 19, 2014 at 3:23 am

      The mass immigration of 3rd worlders is indeed a feature of Britain and Europe. It was never asked for; the population was never consulted; there never was a mandate for it; objections have never been heeded, indeed objectors have been criminalized. This invasion has been inflicted by the EU, to undermine the nation’s homogeneity and change its identity. Something comparable is going on in USA, with whole tribal Somali communities being planted on Minnesota, for instance. Compromised politicians and media (BBC) mask what is happening and help the process along. Two young parties, LibertyGB and Britin First, are speaking out about it. The situation is dire.

        I grew up in a multi-racial England, but every child was expected to learn – and respect – English civil law and customs. There was no room for ‘religous exception’. School uniform was worn by all and no face or head covering was permitted.
        Sport was obligatory – including swimming.

        Although I agree that too many, too fast, is a problem; the main problem is the failure to expect assimilation by immigrants. If, the first time anyone bleated that “their religon didn’t allow that”, they had been told to like it or lump it, lots of these problems would never have arisen. Oh yes, and kicking out the criminals.

    Dear, dear, dear. I have worked in Rochdale and Oldham, it is a society within a community. Nobody speaks English so I learned a few phrases. It was amazing how they suddenly remembered they did speak English.

    Muslims give the impression they are above the law or that it doesn’t apply to them….. i dont understand (over the roar of their Subaru engine) they say. They are now building a super barracks (mosque) in Bolton. The islamisation of the UK has begun and its starting in the northwest.

    18 months tops and there will be a civil war in the UK unless the government act now. Is this the rivers of blood that was predicted?

    Allah is very generous with his people, he gives them other people as gifts and rewards, to do with as they choose. Once a slave is owned, Allah really doesn’t care about such things as living conditions. After all, these are slaves. They owe you, you don’t owe them…Allah willing, and he always is.

    Makes me wonder how long the authorities have known that this is going on. I know they just released a report and acted shocked…but were they really shocked? See Rotherdam and the cover up involved, or the Trojan horse school situation.

    Also, here in the US, what is being covered up in the same situations…how long before our “shocking report” comes out?

      Sorry, Grayman11b4v, but I don’t think that Margaret Thatcher is currently in any position to kick crazy islamers – or any one else for that matter. Unless of course you can do that from a supine position inside a wooden box about six feet beneath underground. But there are still those amongst us who wish she was immortal….

    News of an off duty policeman killed in Liverpool. Two off duty officers with him injured but now released from hospital. News reports very sketchy but the two wounded officers say someone must have known they were ;policeman because there was no issue of provocation in the incident. News reports don’t say how the policeman was killed or with what.

    Thanks, Know Thy Enemy. Does my memory deceive me, or did I once see mention of a third category of Islamic deceit, perhaps beginning with the letter ‘S’? Not that having two approved forms of systematic lying isn’t bad enough in itself. What can you say about a ‘religion’ (or ‘philosophy’ or ‘ideology’) that openly condones, encourages and even codifies rank dishonesty?

    Readers might like to know that there is extensive coverage in the London ‘Times’ today about the disgusting sex slave antics of Isis. It’s pretty damning, and they don’t try to cover up for them by using the term ‘islamist’ but refer to these activities as being legitimately ‘islamic’. Methinks the penny might have finally dropped!!!
