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

Islamic State jihadi says mass rapes of non-Muslim women were “normal”

Feb 18, 2017 2:29 pm By Robert Spencer

In Islamic law, it is normal: 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.

“Captive Islamic State militant says mass rapes were ‘normal,'” by Michael Georgy, Reuters, February 17, 2017:

Islamic State militant Amar Hussein says he reads the Koran all day in his tiny jail cell to become a better person. He also says he raped more than 200 women from Iraqi minorities, and shows few regrets.

Kurdish intelligence authorities gave Reuters rare access to Hussein and another Islamic State militant who were both captured during an assault on the city of Kirkuk in October that killed 99 civilians and members of the security forces. Sixty-three Islamic State militants died.

Hussein said his emirs, or local Islamic State commanders, gave him and others a green light to rape as many Yazidi and other women as they wanted.

“Young men need this,” Hussein told Reuters in an interview after a Kurdish counter-terrorism agent removed a black hood from his head. “This is normal.”

Hussein said he moved from house to house in several Iraqi cities raping women from the Yazidi sect and other minorities at a time when Islamic State was grabbing more and more territory from Iraqi security forces.

Kurdish security officials say they have evidence of Hussein raping and killing but they don’t know what the scale is.

Reuters could not independently verify Hussein’s account.

Witnesses and Iraqi officials say Islamic State fighters raped many Yazidi women after the group rampaged through northern Iraq in 2014. It also abducted many Yazidi women as sex slaves and killed some of their male relatives, they said.

Human rights groups have chronicled widespread abuses by Islamic State against the Yazidis.

Hussein said he also killed about 500 people since joining Islamic State in 2013.

“We shot whoever we needed to shoot and beheaded whoever we needed to beheaded,” said Hussein.

He recalled how emirs trained him to kill, which was difficult at first when one person was brought for a practice kill. It became easier day by day.

“Seven, eight, ten at a time. Thirty or 40 people. We would take them in desert and kill them,” said Hussein, an imposing, well-built figure, who was wearing metal handcuffs.

Eventually, he became highly efficient, never hesitating to kill.

“I would sit them down, put a blindfold on them and fire a bullet into their heads,” he said. “It was normal.”…

    Whenever you switch on the TV, you get some BS story about the “Rohingya”, the “most persecuted people in the world”. There are constant claims that the Buddhists are raping their women, and that Bangladesh, where they originated, doesn’t want to take them back. But it is not a Buddhist thing to rape and to plunder; knowing what we know we should suspect nothing short of projection.

    Remember when we were inundated with similar stories from Bosnia, where Muslims claimed they were raped by the Christian Serbs? Could it be that we were similarly duped then?

      Feb 19, 2017 at 12:08 am

      Mm. I have reason to think that some Christian men rape, and some Buddhist men, too. But the god damned mujahidin blandly assert that it’s normal.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 19, 2017 at 12:14 am

        Of course–there are men who rape in every group.

        But Christianity and Buddhism do not condone rape, and they certainly do not *sacralize* it.

        Jesus did not rape, and neither did Gautama Buddha. The vicious “Prophet” Muhammed did, though–and he took, distributed, and sold sex slaves, as well.

        • ElderlyZionist says

          Feb 19, 2017 at 8:20 am

          Good point, gi. Prophet Muhammed was a thorough psychopath, and his religion is vicious at its core.

      It’s the classic muslim M.O.: kill, rape and plunder villages in nightly guerrilla-type ops, and when the host nation strikes back militarily, play the victim and flip the facts to make it seem like the military did the killing and raping. It worked for Bosnia as well as Kosovo and even India. I’m from around those parts so I know this firsthand.

      Here’s a fun fact: during the 1998-1999 Serbia-Kosovo war (ignited by the aforementioned murders and rapes) there was a famous “Yellow House”, which was a slaughterhouse where KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army made up of muslim Albanians) took over 1000 captive Serbs and harvested them for their organs. But at least they were humane with the girls — they only slaughtered the girls after they were used up from raping. Fast forward to the present, the current Kosovo president is the former KLA leader who orchestrated it all.

    First, the brutal vicious receiver of Islamic rapes of girls and women by the ISIS Muslims further exposes the actual malicious strong and demonic anti-female essence of Islam. As for those brutal, cruel and vile ISIS jihadist /Muslims kidnap and rape girls and women 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.”
    Second , those ISIS jihadist rapes with jihad malice –filled heinously cruel misogyny because their religion is not only anti-female and anti-Christian but it also teaches extreme harshness to all non-Muslims .The Koran as in 9:123. Third, the vicious and murderous jihadists thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice, with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.

    This Islamic Law is against the law in the United States. Then why in god’s name the American people should lovey up to the Muslims??? A good Muslim prays to Allah and studies the Quran? A good Muslim believes in the Quran. The Quran teaches that all infidels and non-believers will succumb to Allah and the Quran or be killed, a 1400 year religious war. The Muslims have a theocracy, religion and government wrapped together. Muslims are not allowed to pledge allegiance to any country, only to Allah and the Quran. Like an embassy within America. Most people of the civilized world do not realize the seriousness of the Muslim presence within their country. The American people will have to pass laws banning the spread of the Muslim theocracy within America.

        Sharia Law is being pushed all over the United States by CAIR, Keith Ellison and the Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim religious exceptions were introduced when Obama was in office. Muslims didn’t have to recite the original pledge of allegiance because Muslims can only pledge allegiance to only Allah and the Quran. New York city has a Muslim judge. Her judgements recognize the Muslim religious exception following Obama’s lead. Several states have introduced bills preventing foreign law to be used to trump the constitution. There is pressure all over the country pushing the Sharia Law the Muslims want for America. California recognizes Sharia Law. This country is in trouble unless the American people get the word about the Muslim theocracy.

    Why would anybody give this man his war manual to study? That is only going to make him more militant. Take that book away from him, burn it, and give him the New Testament. Make him recite it verse after verse if he wants to eat. Then kill him.

    Feb 19, 2017 at 1:37 pm

    Reuters could not independently verify Hussein’s account.

    Of course this needs “independent verification”. I mean, there are the reports of mass rapes, including first-hand account from Yazidi women who managed to escape, and mass killings, but Hussein could very well be lying about having committed crimes (as opposed to saying he dindu nuffin and he is wrongly imprisoned) because, well, reasons, I guess.
