The 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 to you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you 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 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 whom their right hands possess, for 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. (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. 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.”
Iraqi Ayatollah Al-Haeri said in April 7, 2016 that a man could offer slave girls to a friend for sex.
The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction.
“Yazidi Victim of ISIS: ‘I Was Gang-Raped, They Call This Practice Sexual Jihad,’” by Michael W. Chapman, CNS News, September 6, 2016:
Another young victim of the Islamic State’s genocidal practices, Nadia Murad, said the radical Islamic group killed her mother and six of her brothers and sold her into sex-slavery, where she was regularly raped and even gang-raped, what her captors called “sexual jihad.”
Murad further said that the Islamic State (or Daesh) “came with the sole aim of destroying the Yazidi identity through force, rape, recruitment of children and destruction of all our temples.” This is “genocide against our identity,” she said, adding that “rape was used to destroy women and girls and to ensure that they could never lead a normal life.”
Murad was 21 when the Islamic State invaded her village in Sinjar, Iraq in August 2014. At least 312 Yazidi men, including Murad’s brothers, reportedly were rounded up by Daesh and killed. Murad was taken to Mosul, Iraq with 150 other Yazidi women and children. There, Murad was given to an Islamic State jihadist as a “gift.”
Murad described her experience and how she escaped from Daesh, in late 2014, in a February 2016 interview with the BBC’s HARDtalk program.
Host Sarah Montague asked the young woman, “How did you manage to escape?”
Nadia Murad said, “The first time I tried to escape I was with the first man [from Mosul] who raped me and treated me badly. I thought to myself, I must run away although I didn’t believe I would succeed. Daesh militants were everywhere in Mosul.”
“I tried to escape through a window but I was immediately caught by one of the guards who put me in a room,” she said. “Under their rules, a captured woman becomes a spoil of war if she is caught trying to escape. She is put in a cell and raped by all the men in that compound.”
“I was gang-raped,” said Murad. “They call this practice sexual jihad. Afterwards, I couldn’t even think of trying to escape again.”
“The final man that I stayed with in Mosul lived alone,” she said. “When he decided to sell me on he went to get me some clothes. He told me to wash myself and get ready to be sold to someone else.”
“Even though I thought it was impossible, I managed to leave the compound,” said Murad. “I called at a house, a Muslim family with no connection to Daesh lived there. I asked them for help. I said to them that my brother would give them whatever they wanted in return.”
She continued, “The family told me that they did not support Daesh and had no connection with them. They gave me all the help they could. They gave me a black abaya and an Islamic ID, and then they took me to the border.”
“And that allowed you to escape and get out?” said the BBC’s Sarah Montague.
“Yes, the family helped me to escape,” said Murad….
Champ says
islam is *wholly* evil!
Angemon says
Indeed. As David Wood aptly put it (and I’m paraphrasing here), it gives a divine seal of approval to excesses and depravities and calls it “good”.
Shane says
Yes, that’s why muslims do so well in recruiting holy warriors in Western prisons. Islam has great appeal to murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and the worst people in any society. Islam sanctions rape, murder, child marriage, polygamy, slavery, and pedophilia.
gravenimage says
Very true, Shane.
yohananw says
If you read the article then you learned that a Muslim family helped the Yazidi woman, victim of genocide, rape and enslavement, to escape (probably at some risk to themselves). So there’s good in all that evil.
Puns aside, nothing is total. See Memri’s translated video clips in the section on Islamic reform attempts http://www.memri.org/democratization-and-reform-in-the-arab-and-muslim-world.html
Champ says
Evil islam can never truly be reformed …
“There is an ongoing fantasy that Islam can be reformed so that it is moderate. This ignores the fact that Islam is based upon the Koran and the Sunna of Mohammed, none of which can be changed. A recent effort of good will towards Jews by Muslims is a false hope.”
billybob says
Very well stated!
Alien Republican says
In my opinion, there is a general misconception regarding “reforming”. “Reformation” in the West has been nothing else than an alleged return to the original spirit of the faith.
My point is not whether Protestants or Catholics where right but that the word “Reformation” is confusing at best. It might be used in the sense of “back to the roots” or radicalism. In the West it is used mostly in the sense of a real change, a “transformation” to something “else” and more “progressive”. Quite the opposite of back to the roots.
In that sense ISIS, IS, DAESH is already on the path of reformation. The same process in Christianity and Islam will yield very different results because of the difference between the central role models Jesus vs. Mohammed. I like that comparision because it allows even non-religious people to make a sound judgment without the need of years of bible or koran studies. Actions speak louder than words.
People who demand Islam, Catholicism, Communism or whatever Ideology to be “reformed” don’t realize that changing the CONTENT of an ideology is killing the ideology. Hence the resistence. If you no longer agree with an ideology you better leave it for something else and if you want to beat an ideology, rather than “reforming” it offer better alternatives.
In the case of islam in my oppinion by advocating either for Christianity or a rational, scientific world view.
Shane says
Yes, Islam cannot be reformed into a peaceful religion because Mo was such a violent and evil guy and he is deemed the perfect example for muslims to emulate. You would have to change Islam to state that Mo was evil and muslims should not emulate him, and you would have to eliminate the violent passages from the Koran and the Hadiths. I don’t see how it is possible to have the religion of Islam without Mo in it. It would be like trying to be a Christian while ignoring Christ’s life and teachings.

Good video. Dr. Warner is straightforward and we need to get his message drilled into us. Reformers can gut the stinky fish and sprinkle it with sugar but they’re just dragging out an incredible farce. It needs to go.
Demsci says
Yes, I do agree,that it is really undoable to reform Islam,
but only think that Islam can be described as very unclear, obsolete, multi-interpretable.
Like when Muslims are calling a prescriptive text only a descriptive text. This ploy often comes from Islam-apologists themselves, like the other day from a Muslim leader in Australia, speaking to reporter Andrew Bolt;
He said that the “most offensive” quotes from the Quran and Hadith originated in a time of war and were meant for enemies back then, not enemies now.
If it’s coming from a Muslim’s mouth, then, even if it is a lie, that lie can be used to show how UNCLEAR, and multi-interpretable these holy texts are
when it is also abundantly clear that the prescriptive, eternal interpretation of same offensive verses still are very widespread.
And a multi-interpretable ideology like that can be used by us somehow, by urging reform and expressing Muslim’s accountability to fail to do it enough. All in our own tactical game to win over our own fence-sitters, swingvoters.
Demsci says
Alien Republican also hit the nail on the head when he said that Muslims could and should be offered some alternative. He mentioned Christianity or the Scientific worldview. And I am totally OK with that, but hope we can go much further.
Offering Muslims a Better “Alternative To Islam” (ATI). To set our mind to that. That same better alternative should also be very attractive to all sorts of people. And I think about “Democratic ATI”, “Happy ITA”.
I think about transforming that which is wrong and absurd in Islam into tenets, values of ATI-ideologies. And about using some of the strong points of Islam itself, namely: “one or more rolemodels to follow”, an “Ummah” of sorts, a central most important guiding text for that ATI.
It may seem to give existing Islam too much honour when we use it as starting point, precisely to get to a better alternative,
but in this way Islam could be utilized to let hundreds of millions of Muslims take a positive step, promoting themselves to something higher, and many other humans and mankind as a whole with them. It is the positive approach.
Instead of only a negative approach of wanting to get rid of Islam and exhorting Muslims to dump it.
Arthur says
yohananw you may confuse good in people with good in Islam. Islam is an ideology and, as it requires believers to accept it in its entirety, it cannot be defended as anything other than evil.
There is no good in evil. There is good in most people. Many (most?) Muslims are simply trapped in this evil ideology. However, those who flood the West and seek to impose Islam on others are misguided at best, and at worst, they are evil people who will not be redeemed.
Westman says
The word that more acurately describes the movement toward Islamic Fundamentalism is Revival.
Daesh is an offspring of an Islamic Revival movement. Nowhere do we see some continuing “reforming” in the sense that describes the Protestant Reformation. Some minor reformations have occurred in the distant past, such as the Baha’i. There is no current reformation in Islam except in the fantasy words pouring from the lips of CAIR and Western leaders.
An entire nation, Turkey, is being led by Erdogan to throw away the reformations of Mustafa Ataturk and return to Islamic fundamentalism – another revival. As one of the only secular majority Muslim countries, without oil, to be economically successful, it has much to lose under Islamic Rule. It is also experiencing a pattern of decreasing rainfall that will add to the loss of productivity under Islam.

This family acted un-Islamically in helping this victim. I’m glad they did–but they acted *in spite of Islam*, not because of it.
This is like a Nazi helping a Jew escape the Holocaust–this did happen–not because Fascism had a cuddly side, but because they were decent enough to act against their creed in at least one case.

If this happened–and I have not heard about a Muslim helping one of the victims in Rotherham–it was because they acted *against* their vile faith, and not because of it.
Jasmine Indo says
One must distnguished Islam the religion from a Muslim, an adherent of the religion. Islam sets the policy and gives guidance as in Sharia, which a Muslim, according to Islam the religion, must follow. There are Muslims who do not follow Islam the religion 100%, just like followers of other religions who do not do everything their religion dictates. How many Christians commit adultery? It is an accepted practice in the west.
The family who helped the Yazidi woman are kind in our eyes, but according to Islam they need to be severely punished from aiding and abetting an infidel, an infidel who was the property of another Muslim at that!
biff says
Look people.
Just as Obama and every other Progressive idiot says. This has nothing to do with Islam.
Never does, never will.
Peaceful looking things are Islam.
If it’s negative in any way then it’s just that person acting on their own.
Simple as that. Positive virtues are associated with Isiam, negative virtues are individual acts.
If we need to get specific about it, all negative thoughts and ideas originate with white males in the West and are old emulated by poor Muslims that do not know any better.
When a Muslim kills someone, it’s your fault. The only thing we have to do is invent the leap of logic.

Among its other charming attributes, Islam is a sex-violence cult…
The primitive intellect functions best in the arenas of sex, and or, violence…
Allah has a lot to say about sex, and none of it favors women…
Alien Republican says
The system is actually perfectly designed to maximize sexual frustration of the muslim man that can be satisfied without restrictions with non-muslim women. At the same time maximising the offspring at the expense of the outgroup. Polygamy might contradict that at first sight but if any muslims took for wives in a culture that condones raids on the infidel it is obious that the “loosers” will raid the “infidel” for wealth and women. There is a hadith I cannot remember by author that seems to protect pregnant captives. Keep the principle in mind and it is obvious that this encourages the male “efforts” on more “receptive” captives. Don’t forget that the ideology considers anybody a muslim that has a muslim father. Doesn’t matter whether the mother consented or not. In the end islam is not only spread by sword (killing males) but also buy raping.

This is done in ebvery muslim country apparently read “Gaddafi’s Harem-Annick Cojean-The story of a young woman and the abuses of power in Libya by Gaddafi. A fifteen year old school girl with no experience in anything was selected by Muammar Gaddafi from a school and taken from her parents and friends to serve a Gaddifi’s whore, one of several thousand over his disgusting life. Although this was well, lnown in Libya it was never spoken about and it went on for 40 years thousands of boys and girls abused by the supposed “chosen of allah”. When she went to Gaddafi’s trailer for the first time he was naked he raped her over and over he was a sexual predator who used his position to abuses boys and girls in Libya and elsewhere . He included the wives of visiting leaders and showed his power over th leaders by raping their wives and daughters knowing they could do nothing. Soraya, the young girl was raped forced to drink alcohol, use cocaine, watch pornography to learn what The Guide [Gaddafi] likes. Gaddafi made the women and boys available to visiting dignitaries and the elite of Libya for their pleasure, who turned a blind eye to the perversion and ignoring of the islamic religion .
A nice region of the world isn’t it?

Being a Muslim and an Arab, Gaddafi cannot be blamed for emulating Muhammad. What is important to non Muslim world is that he kept at least some Muslims (Libiyans) under control and extremists like Wahabis and Salafists at bay.

I hadn’t heard this. Why would Tudeau hate them? I think it’s more likely that leaders won’t allow them special treatment as it will lead to more of them getting killed on their home ground. Or could it be that leaders are afraid they’ll speak up too eloquently once they’re over here?

Let me make it clear: All, yes all, Muslims are filthy demonic pieces of feces. What person in their right mind would want to be connected to them, near them, share with them, or worship with them. All of them , yes all of them, are unfit to live around other humans. I was told one time a married man trying to hid his marriage is like a man that stepped in dog poo. Everyone smells him. Thus is the same for the “peaceful” and “good” Muslims. When you get to know them, they stink like the Sulphur of hell and …pig poo too.

Kudos to the family who helped this poor girl escape. She was lucky they were lax Muslims rather than pious ones.
Yorkshire Kufir says
When you look into that girl’s eyes when she relates her past (even before Islamists moved in) you . know she has been in the vilest pit of hell. And all she saw and suffered was the doctrine and policy of “The religion of peace”. How can any muslim be proud to be part of an ideology that sanctions and promotes such vile acts as a matter of course?
