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

Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown justifies slavery and the rape of female slaves

Feb 11, 2017 9:58 am By Robert Spencer

Now it is clear why professor Jonathan A. C. Brown had our Jihad Watch correspondent, Andrew Harrod, expelled from this lecture before it began. It is also clear why he responded with such infantile rudeness when I accepted his challenge to debate. Brown would never admit it, but he has taken these positions because he is a Muslim: the Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30).

The 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.

So Brown’s attempt at a sly, pseudo-academic defense of these practices is no surprise at all. And it is an indication of how severely compromised Georgetown University really is by Saudi millions that this adolescent savage is on its faculty.

“Georgetown Islamic Studies Professor: Slavery OK, So is Non-Consensual Sex,” by Ian Miles Cheong, Heat Street, February 10, 2017:

A professor at Georgetown University is teaching his students that men do not need consent to have sex with women, and that slavery is justifiable under Islamic teachings.

Islamic Studies professor Jonathan Brown recently lectured at the International Institute of Islamic Thought, where he shared his alarming beliefs with students in attendance in his lecture, “Islam and the Problem of Slavery.” Freelance writer Umar Lee expressed his shock over the 90-minute lecture, which included explicit endorsements of rape and slavery.

Brown himself uploaded the lecture to YouTube.

According to Lee, Brown’s lecture was supposed to revolve around slavery in Islam, but the lecturer moved its focus to criticize the United States, United Kingdom and China. Brown described slavery in these non-Muslim societies as brutal, which they were, but lauded the historically inhumane practice in Arab lands and Turkey.

“Indeed, according to Brown, slaves in the Muslim world lived a pretty good life,” wrote Lee. “I thought the Muslim community was done with this dishonest North Korean style of propaganda. Obviously not.”…

The Islamic Studies professor said that in Muslim societies, “slavery wasn’t racialized,” unlike the United States. Lee points out that this is untrue, given that in the Arab world, black people are referred to as “abeed,” the Arab word for “slave.”Brown stated that slaves were “protected by Sharia,” omitting the various atrocities committed by slave-owners. Girls and women were forced into the sex trade and their male counterparts were often castrated.

“In general you don’t find the brutality that you see in American slavery,” said Brown, who described the historically common practice as “investments” and “walking venture properties” for slave-owners….

Historically, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams conducted warfare against vassal states of the Ottoman Empire to end the Barbary slave trade, in which North African pirates conducted constant raids into European coastal towns to capture men and women for slavery.Brown defended slavery, stating, “It’s not immoral for one human to own another human” by comparing it to marriage—a quid pro quo arrangement in which both slave and master benefited from the arrangement.

“I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody because we own lots of people all around us and we’re owned by people,” said Brown.

A female attendee asked Brown about the permissibility of sex with slaves, to which the professor stated that “Consent isn’t necessary for lawful sex,” and defined consent as a Western concept that emerged with women’s suffrage and female body autonomy. Brown, he said, believes that marital rape was an invalid concept in Islam.

Had Prof. Brown’s words been spoken by a practicing member of any other religion, they would’ve lost their jobs and shunned out of the academic world.

          In fact he is very honest and he says what a lot of other muslim leaders do not tell us. One of the things he said is very significant: consent (of a women when she has sex) is a Western concept. He (correctly) states that in Islam women do not have a say in it, it has been decided for them by society and by men, their husband or their own family when they should have sex. So, where are the feminists now? Do we have any feminist left here in the West? Or are they forced to keep their mouth shut? Or do they not care because they think they themselves are not affected by this?

          Good post, Johan. But Jonathan Brown was only honest about Islam when he thought he would not be called on it:

    Any alumni of Georgetown — cease giving even a penny until that cesspool is cleaned-up. Indoctrination into Sharia is an abomination in a western “university”.

    They have to be morons if they think people are going to pay $60,000 a year to have their loved-one indoctrinated, only to come out unemployable, or worse — a potential threat to national security.

    First,shame on Jonathan Brown for that outlandish and outrageous statement of tying to justify Muslim slavery and rape of females. This is unconscionable of him. If he has a daughter he needs to stop and think how he would feel if such Islamic vile wickedness happened to her. ?
    Second, as for those brutal, cruel and vile ISIS jihadist /Muslims kidnapping girls and women and using them as sex slaves. This actually started with the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad . Who all Muslims look to as an example of how to behave. It’s revealed in the book JESUS AND THE JIHADIS: CONFRONTING THE RAGE OF ISIS by the Christian authors Graig A. Evans and Jeremiah J. Johnson For on page 124 it informs the reader about Muhammad that “he endorsed sex-slavery as a gift from Allah, and enjoyed offering sex-slaves as gifts…” Further on the very next page it also exposes that “Islam has enslaved more people than any other culture.”

    Face it, ladies, Islam is patriarchy. Brown is a clear misogynist, and probably embraces Islam so he can let his misogyny out of the closet.

      Georgetown has its own version
      https://biasreporting.georgetown.edu/

      Georgetown University has a rich tradition of embracing people from a wide spectrum of faiths, ethnicities, cultures and backgrounds.

      The University considers acts of hate and bias unacceptable and antithetical to its commitment to an inclusive and respectful community.

      Through the Bias Reporting System, Georgetown is able to track and review bias-related incidents. Reporting the incident may lead to an investigation, following which the University can hold the accused accountable for their acts.

      Whether it fits into their criteria for a complaint , do check out their guidelines any way. as they do have many different policies on different things.

      Inherently they were set up to control and modify dissent, to certain perspectives, which has grown in recent years.

    Unfortunately, with the large prevalence of American women who seems to love Bad Boys and be treated badly, in combination with the amassing continued success of the Shades of Gray with their BDSM, is this what lib women really want? They sure support Islam and Muslims far more than is actually healthy for them and their daughters!

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 11, 2017 at 3:52 pm

      Most Western women–just like men in the West–are in denial about the threat of Islam. The idea that women in the West *want* to be raped by Muslims is utterly false.

      • Mac-101 says

        Feb 11, 2017 at 4:26 pm

        Did I say they wanted to be raped? I KNOW you know at least half a dozen women who go from one bad boy to the next bad boy time and time again. Do they WANT to be treated badly. Most likely NOT, since they are always crying about it, but they end up repeating the same cycle numerous times. I’ve only known a couple women who broke out of it and ended up with a good guy who treated them right.
        .
        The back bone of the Lib Democrat Party is Minorities and White women. Why would they support policies that are soft on crime since they and their daughters generally will at some time in their life suffer from it? Do they want to git Murdered, Mugged or Raped? I doubt it. However their actions increase the possibility exponentially. And this is applicable since open borders and mass Islamic immigration is NOT beneficial to free women who pride themselves at being independent and treated equally.
        .
        So I leave it up to you. Are they just plain Stupid or mentally deficient and can NOT recognize a very visible threat or perhaps are susceptible to the wiles of Satan?
        .
        American Women have encouraged the Legal, Political and Social climate in this country to remove G-d and destroy the family which drastically affects the security and the income of the average women by expanding the nuclear family into some kind of organizational blob nightmare which at times one needs a chart to sort it out.
        .
        In the end we are ALL poorer for it.

          Hopefully American middle class women have woke up and realize that their is NO free lunch and these massive deficiets and transfer payment gotta stop and we gotta put America back to work at meaningful jobs, Real life ain’t Purdy and the world is eating our lunch!
          .
          PS: I no way meant to imply ALL, However, since the Great Society 55% of middle class women have been voting for the Democrats against their and the countries interest. Any open minded person had to see Clinton as the Liar, thief, and traitor that she is. Thankfully they shifted to TRUMP even though the majority did NOT like his personality, but KNEW what had to be done to protect the country, themselves and their children. Unfortunately we have found out in the last decade the RePug establishment has been owned by the same Puppet Masters. So is TRUMP really an outsider?
          .
          Pray Trump will break it ALL up and bring back common sense. He needs to awaken at least 60% of the people to insure America stays on track.

        “I suspect the attraction of “bad boys” is atavistic, probably hardwired into the psyche. I suspect that Cro Magnon bad boys were the best hunters and providers.”

        I’m not so sure.

        A good hunter has to be patient and intelligent and persevering and creative; the brutal impulsive boofheads are not going to be able to stalk and capture elusive game. Also, a lot of traditional hunting involves planning and cooperating with *others*, sometimes over a period of days or even weeks.. it’s not about marching out there by yourself and whacking away with a club.

        My own suspicion is that in *bad* times it was the lady married to the quiet, nice, clever, patient guy who found her man bringing home that extra protein more often than not… whilst the stupid brutal boofheads were coming home emptyhanded. And the ladies married to nice guys who could work in a team did better than the ladies whose husbands picked fights with everyone.

        Genesis offers some interesting insights. Who do the Jews descend from? Not from Ishmael the hunter. Not from Esau the ‘hairy man’, stupid and impulsive (another hunter). They descend from Yitzhaak, who patiently kept on digging wells till the well-stealers gave up and let him be. They descend from Yaakov, who used his wits much more than his muscle, though he could use muscle on occasion. And they have survived everything that history has flung at them.

          There have always been foolish women attracted by bad boys, but I think they have always been a minority, and have not often fared well.

          Certainly, no woman attracted by Muslims–luckily, this is uncommon in the free West–is going to do well.

      What’s even worse is that it’s not as if he is a “cradle Muslim” brainwashed from birth and knowing no better.

      He is a *convert*. So he is openly and voluntarily embracing and defending EVIL.

      He disgusts me. Personally, I think the police should take an interest in him: he is *altogether* too rapt with the concepts of slavery, rape, and sex with minors (his defence of mohammed’s rape of poor little Aisha). I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he has, under his bed, a huge pile of jihadi porn and hardcore kiddie porn and other nastiness; perhaps he drools over that ghastly ISIS ‘prospectus’ that lists female sex slaves for sale, with prices given… the highest prices being attached to the obscenely-youngest, the girls under 8. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the younger female students find he makes their skin crawl. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he lurks at online forums under fake names, trying to ‘groom’ underaged girls.

    “In general you don’t find the brutality that you see in American slavery,” said Brown,

    In general Arab slavery was far more brutal than Western slavery, although Caribbean and Brasilian slavery were probably worse. The Arabs commonly castrated their slaves, a process which had an very high mortality rate.

        Exactly, Robert. There is very little evidence of the descendants of slaves in Dar-al-Islam. Many of them were simply worked to death.

          As I said, in general Arab slavery was far more brutal than Western slavery. There are Negro Arabs, but not that many, and my understanding is that they are shit upon. The Arabs took a lot of White slaves, too.

          And when the women bore children – i.e. mixed-race babies, part African, part Arab or, in Turkey, part African and part Turk – their Muslim masters simply killed the babies.

          I can’t give the reference but there was I think a 19th century visitor to Muslim Turkey who remarked upon this: that although black african women were routinely used as sex slaves, there did not seem to be *any* surviving offspring running around.

Olpak claims that in modern Turkey only about 2000 African former slaves have survived and live in modern Turkey.

          This is from an article, “Afro-Turks meet to celebrate Obama inauguration”, from Today’s Zaman in January 2009.

          If Mr. Olpak is correct, it is shocking that there are only 2000 descendants of African slaves there, considering African women were used as sex slaves there for hundreds of years.

    Re Jabir’s hadith Muslim 3901, “he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave” –

    This hadith if it’s authentic to Jabir (and I’ve no reason to doubt it) has to do with the situation under Abd al-Malik in the 70s / 690s. MANY dhimmis were converting to Islam, or pretending to, in order to get out of paying jizya. They were also fleeing the farm to get out of kharaj. It’s reasonable to suspect that slaves were escaping their plantations in the Dead Sea and Khuzistan to get out of the (horrible) conditions there, too.

    satan the devil sits on this scum slug’s shoulder and he listens intently to the demon, speaking for the demon to mislead and corrupt.

    His eyes, his soul, are dead. He speaks in demon language. Who can listen to such evil and not wish to puke?

    If a Republican had said that, he would have been fired within two minutes. A Muslim gets a free pass because liberalism worships Islam, in its insane quest to rid the world of Christianity.

    Brown, like so many other university professors, whitewashes and rosy-paints Islam to make it appear desirable when it isn’t.

    And – you know, JMHO since a lot of college students are not thoroughly grounded in the Bible, they become potential targets for brainwashing.

    Just one more reason I have always credited my faith in the Lord during my higher education years and I was an adult student, too.

      Feb 11, 2017 at 5:06 pm

      Ditto. No matter how much the Leftists whine that the Bible is “indoctrination”, as opposed to the “education” they offer, a good grounding in the Bible, with its no-nonsense willingness to expose the sins of the saints and report the victories of Assyria and Babylonia alongside the defeats of Israel, gives lots of people an excellent BS detector.

      But I also think that a major problem with a lot of our SJW’s and Snowflakes is that they are terribly, terribly provincial.

      Brown is actually much worse than the run-of-the-mill whitewasher of Islam. Most of these tools just want to believe that Islam is no worse than any other faith and is fully compatible with civilization and democracy.

      This is dangerous, but not necessarily evil in motivation.

      But Brown is *acknowledging* that slavery and rape are intrinsic to Islam, but then is trying to present this as acceptable.

    A professor at Georgetown University is teaching his students that men do not need consent to have sex with women

    Where are the “feminists” protesting and trying to shut down his platform? Also, doesn’t that violate Georgetown’s internal policies regarding consent?

    https://sexualassault.georgetown.edu

    On that page there’s a link to the University’s Sexual Misconduct Reference Guide“, which reads, on the very first page:

    Sexual Assault
    A forcible or non-forcible sexual act or sexual contact that occurs without the consent or permission of the other person. “Consent” means words or overt actions indicating a freely given agreement to the sexual act or contact in question.

    Is the University OK with having one of its staff members teaching something that goes directly against the University’s policies?

    The Reference Guide also reads:

    It takes the whole Georgetown community! Be an active bystander if you see sexual harassment or misconduct. This can include:
    Identifying and stopping situations before they happen;

    Would teaching that men don’t need consent to have sex with women fall under something that could contribute to “situations before they happen”?

    According to Lee, Brown’s lecture was supposed to revolve around slavery in Islam, but the lecturer moved its focus to criticize the United States, United Kingdom and China.

    Ah, good, old Soviet-style whataboutery! Can’t keep a classic down, I see…

    The Islamic Studies professor said that in Muslim societies, “slavery wasn’t racialized,” unlike the United States.

    Even if that were true, so what? Slavery is illegal in the US. Can Brown say the same of muslim societies?

    “In general you don’t find the brutality that you see in American slavery,” said Brown, who described the historically common practice as “investments” and “walking venture properties” for slave-owners

    “That you see in American slavery”? Really? If I were to go to America tomorrow I’d see this?

    Brown defended slavery, stating, “It’s not immoral for one human to own another human” by comparing it to marriage—a quid pro quo arrangement in which both slave and master benefited from the arrangement.

    Really? what did the slave benefited from having their freedom and right of choice forcibly taken away from them?

    “I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody because we own lots of people all around us and we’re owned by people,” said Brown.

    That’s because you have no moral to speak of. But please, enlighten me – who do I own and who owns me?

    A female attendee asked Brown about the permissibility of sex with slaves, to which the professor stated that “Consent isn’t necessary for lawful sex,” and defined consent as a Western concept that emerged with women’s suffrage and female body autonomy.

    Milo Yiannopoulos was forcibly stopped from speaking for saying something along those lines – that muslims don’t care about consent and that women in Western societies enjoy a level of freedom, including over their own bodies, unparalleled in human history and culture. The difference is that Milo sees them as a good thing.

      Angemon, this creep is sneering at the whole concept of consent. And this should not surprise–in Islam, “silence is consent”–in other words, if a girl or woman is too terrified to say no, then raping her is Halal, even is she is just nine. And, of course, there need not be even this level of consent if the victim is an Infidel sex slave.

    Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown justifies slavery and the rape of female slaves
    …………………………….

    I looked up Brown’s lecture on the “’Aren’t You Tired of Writing Your Stupid Articles?’ Georgetown Prof Jonathan Brown Expels Critic From Lecture” thread–I hope no one minds my reposting my comments there; I feel they are most salient here:

    Here is Jonathan Brown’s–I wonder what his Muslim name is?–repulsive article “Slavery and Islam–part 1: The Problem of Slavery”:

    https://yaqeeninstitute.org/jonathan-brown/the-problem-of-slavery/

    In it, he pretends that the meaning of slavery is vague. Of course, there are a few fringe issues–debt slavery, human trafficking, indentured servitude, employer coercion–but there is no real confusion over what slavery is, and there *should be* no hesitation in condemning it in all its forms. Brown’s only point appears to be to gin up false complexity in order to whitewash slavery in Islam.

    At one point, for instance, he compares slavery in Islam *favorably* against marriage in modern America. He then goes on to sneer at the entire concept of freedom.

    That this is going on at a major American university is utterly appalling.

    If we want to see what slavery *really* looks like in Islam, all we have to do is look at those enslaved for generations in Mauritania; at Christians seized and enslaved in Sudan, and at Christians and Yezidi girls used and sold as sex slaves in the Islamic State.

    *This* is what the superficially civilized Jonathan Brown is paving the way for here.

        Back a little over 20 years ago, at a doctor’s office, I picked up a ( then) current issue of Time or Newsweek or similar.

        THE LEAD STORY was about SLAVERY IN MAURITANIA. (CURRENTLY- THEN- now this was the tail end of the 20th century).

        ALL of the slaves were black. I doubt if much has changed.

        By the way-IN THE US- DURING THE DAYS OF SLAVERY:

        1. It existed in the north also, but was more limited-due to the fact that the north has harsh winters, ( and this was the pre-industrial age)and expensive to keep slaves-who produced nothing fro half the year (approximately).

        2. In the north (probably the south also)- BUT ALMOST ALWAYS IGNORED: THERE WERE BLACK SLAVE OWNERS.

        I remember reading, by a black author, about how his family talked about another black family, in the 1800’s (pre-Civil War) in OHIO who had black slaves. (I cannot recall the book; but that was the first I ever heard about slavery in the north, also)

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 20, 2017 at 6:43 pm

          Yes–almost 20% of the population of Mauritania is enslaved.

          And you are correct that there were some black slave owners in the US, both in the South and outside it.

  19. jewdog says

    Feb 11, 2017 at 3:59 pm

    I guess if you apply to a job at Georgetown you can list slave ownership on your resume, as long as you’re Muslim. I bet this prof would make a good house servant – treated well of course, meals and board included, secured with an electronic leg monitor.

    Jihad is the primary duty, collectively and individually, of Muslims. So every doctrine and concept in Islam is designed to bolster the Jihad,” to bolster the prime imperative to purify the world by attacking and subjugating the infidel and by obliterating his culture. The “greater jihad” is always deceptively touted as being noble and nice, because it is supposedly about self-improvement. But like everything in Islam, self-improvement does not mean what you, the gullible infidel, think it means. It does not mean become a better person by becoming a good neighbor and a better contributor to society. Rather, it means become a better person (only Muslims are defined as persons; infidels are the “vilest of created beings”) by becoming a more effective lesser jihadist. To wit: To develop your physique so you become a better head chopper and stone thrower (for stoning adulteresses). To develop your oratory skills so you can become better at spreading dawa and taqiyya. To develop your scientific and engineering skills so you can become a better bomb maker, and can design new infidel killing techniques. And, most of all, to deaden your human instinct for empathy with other human beings so you can be a better throat slitter, a better crucifier, a better “bury them aliver,” a better honor killer of your own daughters, and a better infidel mass-murderer. Once you have thus self-improved yourself, you become a better “slave of Allah,” with shark eyes and cold-blooded determination to dominate and kill. The “greater jihad” is not some nice, or passive, aspect of Islam. There are no nice, or passive, aspects of Islam. Everything about it is terror-inducing, and aggressive, by design. End of sermon.

    He is saying that NON CONSENSUAL SEX IS OK.

    If that is the case, why, (starting-I think) with Barack Obama’s administration- on college campuses throughout the US, if a FEMALE STUDENT SAYS SOMETHING THAT THE FEMALE STUDENT-PERHAPS A DAY OR TWO LATER-DECIDES IS WRONG, OR DEMEANING OR WHATEVER- CAN BRING CHARGES AGAINST THE MALE. NO DUE PROCESS. A KANGAROO COURT- GUILTY UNLESS PROVEN INNOCENT.

    The same is true of consensual sex ( both being of age)- if the female later decides it wasn’t good or whatever, it was rape, the male is screwed (not sexually, this time)- again the kangaroo courts, etc.

    SO WHY IS THIS PROFESSOR ALLOWED TO SAY/PREACH- THAT IT IS OK?

    I realize that he later said slavery is not right- with double talk.

    ““Consent isn’t necessary for lawful sex,” and defined consent as a Western concept that emerged with women’s suffrage and female body autonomy. Brown, he said, believes that marital rape was an invalid concept in Islam.”

    Brown is teaching / preaching rape,,,,, there must be laws, there must be laws somewhere ?

    Sex for Muslim woman must be the most incredible thing,

    No water in the oasis,,, nothing but body odor there

    Hair all over the face,,, so no pleasure there

    Clitorus cut off,,, no pleasure there

    Selection of other woman,, so no pleasure there

    No choice in the matter,,, so no pleasure there

    Foreplay, at least a couple of sentences

    And with about 750 million female Muslims in the world,,,,,
    the most incredible thing about sex for Muslim woman is how many of them bought it …..

    Georgetown University.

    Okay.

    Somebody should have brought up the life story of Saint Josephina Bakhita, who was seized by Muslim slave raiders as a child (her family were killed in the raid), taken from her family, forcibly ‘converted’ to Islam, and would surely have been raped by her various Muslim masters. She was so traumatised that she could not remember her original ‘birth name’, the name given by her non-Muslim parents.
    She was *tortured* – branded – by one set of Muslim owners.
    Eventually she was bought by an Italian Catholic diplomat then in the Sudan; she became a servant in a Catholic Christian family where she was treated far better than in any of the Muslim households she had previously served; and when she went to Italy with the Italian family **she was set free**. She was no longer a slave. She converted to Christianity and became a Catholic nun, “little brown Mother”, respected and universally beloved. Yet even on her death bed she had flashbacks to her experiences as a slave, crying out about the weight of the chains.

    The despicable Mr Brown should have been asked, point blank, whether he thought Sister Bakhita was better off as a terrorised and tortured slave of brutal Muslims, than as a free woman in Italy. Whether he thought the beatings, the rapes, the tortures inflicted on her by her Muslim masters and mistresses, were justified and justifiable. Whether he approves of her having been snatched from her family as a young child, by brutal muslim slave-raiders.

    Alternatively, he should have been confronted by some of those Sudanese Christian men who have *experienced* being slaves of Muslims. Imagine if Simon Deng had been able to stand up in that lecture room and confront him. Imagine if one of the Yazidi girls who have emerged from the horror brothels of the Islamic State – which are probably much much more like the historic harems of the dar al Islam, than any rosy fantasy perpetrated by writers of romantic fiction in the west – had been able to stand up in the lecture hall and recount *exactly* what it is like to be used and abused, treated like a *thing*, tormented, degraded, beaten, and raped, raped, raped until your body and mind are shattered.

    this man is an agent of Evil.
