In PJ Media today I discuss how the sex assaults in Cologne involved behavior sanctioned in Islamic teachings:
Not a single mainstream news outlet has identified the approximately 1,000 men who congregated by the main train station in Cologne, Germany, on New Year’s Eve and raped and sexually assaulted hundreds of women — or their counterparts who did the same thing in Zurich, Helsinki, and elsewhere — as Muslims. But there is little doubt that they were indeed Muslim, since they have been identified as migrants and most of the migrants are Muslims.
Most importantly, identifying the attackers as Muslim leads directly to understanding the attacks themselves, because the attackers were acting in accord with Islamic teachings.
Sexual assault plagues all cultures — but only in Islam is it given divine sanction.
In 2006, then-Grand Mufti of Australia Taj Din al-Hilali sparked a controversy when he said:
If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it … whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem.
He was referring to women who get raped:
If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.
Al-Hilali further complained that judges in the West were too tough on young Muslims charged with sexual assault and rape, since unveiled Western women “sway suggestively”:
[T]hen you get a judge without mercy (rahma) and gives you 65 years. But the problem, but the problem all began with who?
Sounds horrific? The Mufti was expressing a view that is both common in the Islamic world and comes directly from scripture.
A hadith depicts Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, saying to a Muslim woman:
“‘O Asma, when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this,’ and he pointed to her face and hands.” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4092)
The idea behind a woman covering everything except her face and hands is rooted in the assumption that if a man is tempted by her, it’s her fault. She must therefore try to quell that temptation by removing its impetus and covering up. If she fails to do so — or if she covers up and is attacked anyway — the fault lies entirely with her.
And her family can cleanse itself of the dishonor she has brought upon them by putting her to death, the common “honor killing.”
There is no room in this web of assumptions, which is all too common in the Islamic world, for the idea that if a man rapes or sexually assaults a woman, he bears the guilt. The guilt is all on his victim.
Reinforcing these assumptions is the fact that the seizure of infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. Non-Muslim women exist for the sexual pleasure of Muslim men.
The Islamic State (ISIS) became notorious for capturing non-Muslim women and selling them as sex slaves, as in this video. One of the buyers in that video quotes the Qur’an: “… except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess, for (then) they are not to be blamed.” That’s Qur’an 70:30, which is the conclusion of a passage about how righteous men “guard their private parts” (70:29) except when with their wives or the captives their right hands possess. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take these “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50) as sex slaves. 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).
Qur’an 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): O 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. (Sahih 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….

Thank you for that Robert, for reminding us why the savages are happy to behave like savages and their co-religionists will not condemn them for it. It’s sanctioned in their scripture, and they are only following the example of their prophet.
mortimer says
Seconding thanks to Mr. Spencer for this useful essay. It is not only the sacred Koran that justifies rape, but the ‘traditions’ of Mohammed’s behavior, the behavior of his followers, as well as the canonical commentaries of the Islamic consensus and its distilled essence which is in Sharia law and thousands of fatwas by Islamic legal authorities.
Rape of non-Muslims is permitted and REGULATED by Islamic law.
Islam has rules for ‘correct’ rape.
Shane says
Too many people who consider themselves to be feminists are silent on this Muslim issue. The more Muslims we let into the USA, the more women and children who are going to be sexually assaulted. Not only is Islam the most violent religion in the world today, it is the most misogynistic in the world today!
Walter Sieruk says
How ungrateful and thankful those Muslim migrants have proven themselves to be by their totally vile and unconscionable behavior in Cologne and other cities of Germany by the brutal sexual assaults against those German girls and women. The German people were so kind yet foolish to allow them in and now look at the results. Those Muslim thugs who engage in such sex attacks has proven themselves to be cowards for ganging up together against those German girls and women By their heinous actions they have also exposed the extreme and awful misogyny that is,so much ,part of the essence of Islam. Likewise those Muslims also are showing their Islamic dislike and even hate for people who are non-Muslims. Those Islamic villains by their criminal actions are also showing their total contempt and arrogance for Western governments and Western civilization. How completely despicable those Muslim thugs are . Shame on them.
mortimer says
But Walter, it isn’t ‘extreme’ in the mind of Muslims to obey Sharia law.
Western liberal elites are unaware of what is in Sharia law. They would be angry if anyone showed them the passages in Sharia that justify rape.
Western elites must TAKE OFF THEIR BLINKERS and read the source texts of Islam and Sharia law to understand why the rapist in Europe are normal, practicing Muslims who see nothing wrong with their criminal actions.
mortimer says
Western elites need to TAKE OFF THE BLINKERS and read Sharia law concerning ‘justifiable’ rape.
The significant word is ‘MUBAA’.
Kafir women are ‘licit’ (mubaa) under certain conditions described by Sharia law.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, do you have any more information on the concept of Mubaa?
SpiritOf1683 says
These same thugs who were afraid to face ISIS, or at least those who were against ISIS who were afraid to do their chores. Haven’t our leaders noticed that four out of every five are males of fighting age, or are they too stupid to notice? Its time to round these savages up, castrate them, and send them back to Syria or whatever hellhole they came from.
gravenimage says
Haven’t our leaders noticed that four out of every five are males of fighting age
…………………….
Such a salient point. Traditionally, refugee groups tend to be made up of women, children, old people, non-combatants such a monks, and just a smattering of military age males–usually family men.
These Muslim “refugees” invading Europe now are just the opposite–a few women, children, and elderly, and mostly young unattached fighting-age men. If these were truly refugees, this would make no sense.
And I think “four out of five” is optimistic–I’ve seen entire crowds of young men with no more than one or two women.
Cameron says
We need to make the public humiliation and the harshest of punishments done to rapists given divine sanction.
including up to even the removal of phalus, testicles, fingers, teeth, etc. of the rapist depending on how he attacked her, removed by the vengeance of the victim (or someone acting on her behalf if she is unable) to make sure that rapists have the greatest fears of the punishments of raping a woman(or child or anyone…)
Infidel from Down Under says
The then Grand Mufti of Australia’s disgusting comments followed on from the conviction and sentencing of a gang of Lebanese muslim youths in Sydney who carried out a series of abductions and rapes of girls as young as 14 with one victim being raped up to 25 times by 14 males. One of the attacks lasted over eight hours and involved phone and text messages with the predators inviting other Lebanese muslim youth to come along and join in.
The victims were all told they were being raped because they were Australian and white and were going to find out what it is like ‘to be f^&#* Lebo style’.
SpiritOf1683 says
And I’ll bet the culprits and their families are still in Australia rather than back in Lebanon (or perhaps the culprits should have gone down for 75 years apiece).
Infidel from Down Under says
You got it in one Spirit. Most of the culprits are still in jail but their families ( a number of the mongrels come from the same family) are still here most living off the Government underwritten by white Australian taxpayers
One of the accomplices was released on parole about a year or so ago but managed to breach that in less than a couple of days and went back in. Have not heard anything much lately about them
Judi says
This sounds very medieval, but the only way to sort out this muslim menace is for the German men to take matters in hand and give the perps a lynching in a public square for all to see.
Aardvark says
That is going to happen very soon, Judi, if nothing is done about these animals.
There are a number of convenient lamp posts in the area around the Cathedral and train station in Cologne. A few lengths of rope and a dozen civilised but angry German men, and the lamp posts may be suitably decorated.
It should have happened at New Year.
Vae Victis says
German people should be able to initiate a class action for damages against all those public officials who have failed in their sworn duty.
They should also be able to take a class action against media for failing to report those incidents thus contributing to increased risk to public safety.

“who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,…”
Who needs adultery under these conditions? Talk about setting the bar low…numerous allowed partners, all of whom you could easily dump for new ones, quickie one-way divorces with no alimony, limited obligations toward slaves….no wonder Mohammad had so many recruits back in the day.
Mockingjay says

A commenter here called “Isabellathecrusader” used to refer to Islam sarcastically as “Mohammed’s ‘Worship The Penis’ Club”. She really wasn’t far wrong.
Leaving aside other equally valid assessments of Islam as a cult of Slavery and Extortion, or a cult of Murder, one may view it as a cult of Rape. From a certain POV, the dar al Islam might be seen as a vast S & M bordello, the highly-illegal kind into which are dragged kidnapped victims – whether children (male or female) or women and girls, to be subjected to ritualised and extreme Abuse, and out of which come awful screams and rivers of blood flowing from under the doors and then, after the sadists have satisfied their basest urges, mutilated corpses that are flung out of the windows or tossed into the sewers from a dungeon in the basement.
Islamic State is showing us that face of Islam, unmasked, every time we hear the stories of those few among the kidnapped, raped and enslaved Yazidi and Christian girls as manage to escape or are somehow ransomed out.
Forget about ‘The Abduction from the Seraglio’ and any other madly romanticised fantasies about harems. The Islamic State rape pens – or any rich Saudi household where the Filipino or Indian maid lives in absolute terror of the males of the household – is what Islam is really all about. One Sultan decided he didn’t like his current lot of concubines – so he had them all tied up in sacks (alive) and tossed into the Bosphorus to drown.
Islam unlooses. feeds and sacralises and rewards all the very, very worst deepest and darkest criminal impulses of the unredeemed and lawless male id. It takes boys and men and transforms them into something resembling the Orcs in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.
As for the women in the Ummah…they serve the men. They are to the Kuffar victims as the Madam in the brothel is to the terrorised and trafficked girls. And yet they themselves at some level know that they are property, objects or domestic animals rather than people, and that they are under a merely temporarily suspended sentence of Death (for the unforgivable crime of being female) which may be randomly activated at any time by any male in the vicinity who – having been programmed to hate and despise women – decides that *she* is the one who should die.
gravenimage says
Excellent analysis, DDA–Islam is a “religion” of rape.
Karen says
“Divine sanction” of the rape of non-Muslims.
Islamic supremacist thought towards non-Muslims.
Media self-censorship of assaults by Muslim Immigrants and refugees.
Suppression of criticism of Muslim immigrants/refugees by political leaders and social media.
Timidity by the host-nation institutions to promote native values to immigrants and refugees.
Police forces down-playing these incidents, lying, hiding information etc.
Cologne mayor Reker, et. al., abandoning zero-tolerance, and advising women to ‘prepare’.
There is a lot stacking up against women in Europe.
ECAW says
And worst of all is the utter abandonment of firstly Muslim women and now indigenous women by feminists who are obliged to be “culturally sensitive to the other”. May their cognitive dissonance increase until their heads explode.
Vae Victis says
Perhaps we are being too civilised (westernised) here. We need to be flexible. We need to be multicultural. Perhaps we need to interact with Muslims at their own level. In time we may appreciate their culture.
East Europeans have centuries of experience in dealing with Islam. We can learn from them.
Perhaps like Vlad III Dracul, fifteenth century ruler of Wallachia (“Vlad the Impaler”), we should stick a greasy stake up their arse and leave them to rot in the public square. That may discourage rape.
I have faith that given encouragement, Europeans can easily outmatch the Muslim in barbarity, horror for horror.
TheBuffster says
And then the spiritual and moral corruption of Europe would be complete.
David says
Sean Wright should have been impaled. He was responsible for the safety of those 1400 girls in Rotterham. It But he chose to allow the Muslims to continue to rape those girls. That would have set the correct message to these clowns. Those who trade the safety of our citizens for Muslim voters need to receive swift justice.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…Not a single mainstream news outlet has identified the approximately 1,000 men who congregated by the main train station in Cologne, Germany, on New Year’s Eve and raped and sexually assaulted hundreds of women — or their counterparts who did the same thing in Zurich, Helsinki, and elsewhere — as Muslims.

These mainstream news agencies are led by managers who lack courage and no longer believe that they have a direct stake in the protection of civil society. If the press ever earned the title ‘The Third Estate’ then those days are now behind us.
The intelligence of the people of Europe has been insulted by this ongoing evasion of detail and the truth, but let the powers that be come to realise that this social policy failure is now so all pervasive, that their own loved ones are in peril, as we sink ever deeper into the mire of widespread sexual assault against once proud women, our fine girls and boys.

Left wing Libs are talking having to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

Could a Jihadi find all the Islamic inspiration he needs from reading exclusively JihadWatch.org? The only contextual difference appears to be disapproval versus approval.
E Ward says
If I were in Germany for carnival I’d gather a bunch of friends that I had armed with paintball guns. It will be easier to identify the attackers, plus you have the privilege of causing temporary pain, with pink paint. Don’t stay home. Go out in large coordinated groups and reclaim your streets.

It is the Muslim men who are the sex slaves to their own lust.
This is then imposed upon the girls.
Islam cannot leaves a person alone, it’s either for or against us- still at the tribal war level.
This Islamic sex slave law keeps the males as slaves to their sperm pressure, so spiritual ascension is difficult or impossible, in order to keep the supply of Muslim souls feeding the Islamic vampire.
This Islamic sex slave law law may also attract low level males into Islam.
Colonel Gaddafi was right when said that the crowd of Muslim men, who were attacking him, are reincarnations of dogs.
Mockingjay says
Am I the only one who’s confused by the term ‘free women’ in relation to women living under islam.?
My impression was, any woman in islam is living her life like a slave.
Ah well. Guess the sheikh could explain it to me.
gravenimage says
It just means that Muslims can enslave Infidel women outright and use them as slaves and sex slaves.
The status of Muslim women is not a lot better–but there a handful of rules Muslim men are supposed to follow.
Pious Muslims can’t even conceive of *truly* free women.
Lloyd Miller says
Saudi “donor/investor class” orders no discussion of uncovered meat. Therefore, the major media, including Fox News, makes no mention! Instead, Saudi puppets focus on extremely rare incidents of harassment of Muslims in the West
Lloyd Miller says
Hand to hand fighting with Muslims is unnecessary. Confiscation of all PetroDollar investments and outlawing of ALL trading with the enemy is required. The Establishment 5th column must be subdued. A similar thing had to happen as WWII approached. The Rockefeller entanglement with Nazi Germany via IG Farben had to be shutdown.
Why do you think the Establishment, acting as a Saudi 5th column, is so adamant that we are not at war with Islam and continues to throw sand in our eyes?

If a Muslim man is in his home, in his room, being castrated, no future problem will occur. Muslim men should be neutered just like the dogs many of them are.

Lioness says
Muhamad was a pervert, a pedophile. Any female over the age of 9 was sexually appealing to him and a fair game. So muslim men believe that it’s completely halal to take any woman they fancy. They also rape and molest girls who are covered from head to toe, not just “bare” infidels. It’s not uncommon for fathers, older brothers or uncles to rape the girls in their own family. And it’s always the girl’s fault that she was seductive by just being female. So then she is stoned to death. Problem solved.
gravenimage says
“Uncovered meat” is *exactly* how these Muslim thugs regard Infidel women.
