Cathy Newman is a presenter on the UK’s Channel 4, and a writer for the Telegraph. Here she enunciates the standard dogma that everyone is supposed to accept on pain of “Islamophobia” charges: that the Muslim rape gangs were not acting in accord with Islamic teachings, and that their Muslim identity is purely incidental.
But is it true? No. What is accomplished by pretending that all of this isn’t so? 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 for 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 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): 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.”
In January 2016, a female al-Azhar professor stated that Allah allowed Muslims to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them.
The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction. And that sanction must be discussed if anything effective is ever going to be done to end this abuse.

Every decent person must boycott the british media, magazines and newspapers. I have boycotted along time ago everything produced and made in britianistan
Kenny says
Well you really are a genius then, aren’t you? You boycott a nation which is struggling with this, largely due to the wilful ignorance of our media and chattering classes.
Do you also boycott things from Saudi Arabia and other Sharia dominated states, or are you simply assisting with the attempts to divide and rule being forced upon us?

SARAH CHAMPION has had to resign for stating that PAKISTANI MUSLIMS are RAPING ENGLISH SCHOOL GIRLS & the COWARDS in the HOUSE of COWARDS allowed her to be SACKED instead of standing up for her !
ANDREW NORFOLK & JAYNE SENIOR opened the BOX on this & the COWARDS in the HOUSE of COWARDS have been TRYING to put the LID BACK ON EVER SINCE !!!
The BRITISH ESTABLISHMENT & POLICE are an UTTER DISGRACE apart from a FEW who actually CAPTURE these MUSLIM CHILD RAPING BASTARDS !!!

The WESTERNERS are in fear of their lives & terrified of ISLAM !

It is not BRAVADO but FEAR !!!
Bob says
John, our politicos and police’re most certainly afraid of the charges of ‘racism’ and ‘islamophobia’ so that justice is rarely seen to be done in cases where muslims’re involved.

This was a reply to John Forbes, and it was certainly not used. Ths happens frequently!

Spot on, Bob.
And your previous comments *did* post. Sometimes it takes a minute or two, that’s all.
John Forbes says
These sort of statements surface all the time ! Probably the most obnoxious one was by the Mayor of Manchester after the Concert Bombing where this STAR OF ISLAM stated that the Bomber was not a MUSLIM but a CRIMINAL !
Yet the MONSTER who BOMBED & MAIMED & KILLED 22 people ( the exact number of years the UK had given him freedom & safety as his parents asked for & were given asylum in the UK ) had actually gone to SYRIA using cash from a Government GRANT < HE was a UNIVERSITY STUDENT in the UK education system.
How long do we need to accept NONSENSE statements like that by ANDY BURNHAM who by the way always calls for the closing down of the BRITISH de radical program PREVENT !
This is OUTRAGEOUS & should not be tolerated !!!
Santa Voorhees says
But if those gangs were christians, leftist media would have plenty to say about it…
Karen says
Exactly right. There would be no end to it.
RationalVoice says
When a white man commits rape why doesn’t the media say “a European committed rape” if any closer identification is not relevant. Of course it is relevant as the Muslim “holy” books tell them it is okay to do this to infidel women and children and there is widespread trouble with rape crime wherever these invaders have gone in Europe especially Sweden as we all know.
Vote for the right politicians and make them face up to the truth at every opportunity
Are you listening Germans with your election coming soon !!!
Karen says
Motivation matters, and Ms. Newman like to pretend otherwise.
John Forbes says
She must have listened to Andrew Norfolk – an uncomfortable truth ? The Religious Connection is very clear in the initial check as he listened & pieced together the Pattern that the Authorities & Police & Councils had been a;; denying for over TWO DECADES !
She is AFRAID ! SAFER to NOT UPSET MOHAMMED !!
stan lee says
How obvious does it have to be, that the UK press corps is as lousy as the bulk of the U.S. press corps which is 90% Socialist? Face it, folks, the Journalism schools, there and here, have been absorbed into Socialism. And, it was done while the leftists became very aware that non-Leftists were immersed in complacency. Whether Brit or Yank, those of us who refuse to subscribe to Leftist propaganda as it buries truth, must never give up. Rather, we must support the news/commentary organizations that refute Leftism.

If you are a modern, educated, liberated woman and true feminist, then Islam is your very worst nightmare. Beware! An Islamic world ruled be sharia means going back to the Dark Ages for ever woman. Tragically, the far left is too stupid to see it.

“”Refugee “Children” & The Women Who Sexually Exploit Them”” by “Angry Foreigner”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sass4jgyEUY&t=1032s
31 minutes 09 seconds
A summation.
In some countries it has become normal, and that the age of “unaccompanied children” with cries of “what about the children?”,
This has been going on for 5 years, but so it continues, particularly in SWEDEN
The deception and lies, that are woven as power is used to not only abuse people and the “children” but end up abusing their own people.
First 4 minutes 30 secs facts and data about so called children’s ages when many were really older than 18.
5 minutes on then the effect on all of Swedish society, young school age, pensioners, and handicapped.
Then some of the perverseness starts to become apparent from
5 m 30 secs which shows as “psychosis of political correctness” and the effects of putting “white guilt over commonsense”
8 m then he shows the costs, and why some make profits from refugees, and comparisons to other forms of giving foreign aid.
10 m showing the cost of immigration to Sweden and they cut foreign aid
11 m the “”underage children”” benefit greatly in the Swedish justice system. and to accept “cultural actions” because”cultures are equal” and of course the Dr’s debate ethics of judging the age of these people.
12m 40 sec then it becomes a “lawyers goldmine” not “humanitarianism but profit”
13m 30 government feminism defends the system
14m 25 “batikhäxa” the explanation and then their power with in feminism.
17m 10-18m warning very expressive and crude
19 m protests about deporting
20m 14 – 21m 22 strong expression and h
22m 30 so many more cases
23m 12 – a notorious profitable case but the media reasoning is amazing !
28m 24 -30 Celebrating a rapist murder; that victims are men?. Is this is what Feminism has come too? A tribute, Would you do it forAnders Brevick or Ted Bundy?
28m 37 Then the reverse, if it was many underage girls, showing the double standard of feminism and media.
29m 25 #activists, is the call, not that it really is perverts
29m 34 A suggested solution to the refugee problem
It is a pity that some language is a bit strong and expressive, even though I understand his frustration, seeing this happen in Sweden for at least the past 5 years and more.
John A. Marre says
Their religion is relevant because it explicitly tells Muslims to take any infidel woman they want, and do with her whatever they want.

She’s getting trashed on Twitter. That’s good. It means that a lot of people can see through her PC lies.

lets help the reporter better to understand : religion pf those rapists was “AMISH”.

UK “journalist” says she doesn’t know religion of Muslim rape gangs, it’s “irrelevant”

Muslims are raping Infidel girls on the tenets of their faith and the model of their “prophet”, and this twit considers it “irrelevant”.
No wonder we are in so much trouble…

I wonder if the trial will result in a verdict which is in accordance with their laws: an eye for an eye. That seems to be the only thing they can fully understand.

Sure you can. The problem is that we are *not* enforcing our laws. Do you believe that Western laws permit Muslims raping Infidel girls? They *do not*. These laws were not enforced.
We did not have to become Fascists in order to defeat the Nazis. We just had to fight back. That is what we are not doing consistently now.

She owes descent Asians world wide and in the U.K. In particular a sincere apology. Rape gangs are animals suitable for death. They share a common bond – their so-called ‘religion’. Their barbaric actions are codified in their barbaric pagan religio-political-legal system. It is called islam. Call it what it is. Enough political correctness horseshit.
Bronson says
So the fact that they are all of the one religion is irrelevant but not that they are all Pakistanis (what ‘Asian’ refers to in the UK). So she is a racist then.
Matthieu Baudin says
Well I expect she’ll still get invitations to the same dinner party’s, with the same like minded company that she’s enjoyed previously, by keeping to the script.
No Fear says
The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verse: (Sura 4:24) “And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.” (Abu Dawud 2150, also Muslim 3433)
So, Mohammed’s soldiers hesitate at raping unbelievers but he writes a Quran verse which encourages them to do so!

Exactly, No Fear.

Cathy Newman has not read Islam’s PRIMARY, FOUNDATIONAL TEXTS of Islam or a manual of Sharia law or a history book on Islamic wars and conquests or modern jihad manuals, and yet, PREPOSTEROUSLY, she presents herself as AN EXPERT on Islam and apparently, she considers herself even MORE EXPERT than Caliph al Baghdadi (PhD in Islamic studies) who is considered one of the best read Islamic scholars in the world.
If the leader of ISIS (BA, MA & PhD in Islamic studies) does not understand Islam correctly, then no one can, since they have not the same amount of reading and study as Caliph al Baghdadi.
b.a. freeman says
she is probably an airhead who does not understand critical thinking, and believes that all religions, being equally as stupid and worthless as she believes that christianity is, are not worthy of examination. this type gets their marching orders from the ether, the “word” that percolates through the left, so that she knows the right catch phrases to parrot and can do her virtue-signaling to other twits. they believe that those who are smarter than they are have already checked islam out; since nobody “reliable” (i.e., leftist) has made any warnings about islam, it *has* to be OK, and only right-wing nazi knuckle-draggers actually oppose The Word. even this type can be educated (yes, it’s *very* hard to reach them, because they’ve been fed this line of garbage since very early childhood), but there are only a very few hard-core leftists who decide what memes need to percolate through the leftisphere. they *know* that islam is evil, and are using pious muslims as a proxy army to attack free nations. first they took over education, and after a couple of generations had been trained as nominally-leftist airheads, they began to bring in the pious troops in seriously large numbers. once bloodshed in the streets gets bad enough, the stupid stinking masses (that’s us) will beg the government to do something. that will be martial law, and the end of rule by law and the people.
i have to admit, i never saw this coming in my decades on this planet. worse yet, i was an airhead who was too lazy to check out islam – or history. the plot is truly ingenious, in a stalinesque way. however, that the hard-core left has failed to completely understand either their proxy troops or their victims. if the left could use the military to surround no-go zones after martial law is declared, then round up and machine-gun all the men, women, and children found there, they would almost certainly succeed in establishing their “worker’s paradise” dystopia. the two problems with that approach is that the military of western nations, although quite disciplined, are independent thinkers (which is what makes them so good), and are not likely to *quickly* accede to mass murder; speed in attacking the pious proxy troops is essential. the other thing that the left have overlooked, and probably the more important, is that pious muslims have no compunctions about murder, and all muslims are taught from birth the supremacist attitude of muslims. all the imams have to do is explain to the compliant “moderate” muslim masses is that allah *requires* them to kill massive numbers of kufr, and show them the relevant islamic scriptures, and the islamic war machine will be in motion.
and if anybody thinks that weapons are not being stashed *right now*, and that there are no jihadis being trained, they are sadly mistaken. pious muslims are nothing if not reliably treacherous; western nations have looked away from muslim immigration for *decades*, so the preparations of the devout are a given. finally, mr. obama, the most successful american traitor in our history, was able to allow the mullahs of iran to build nuclear weapons. what fool thinks that they won’t use them? only the ones who are unaware of the 12th imam of the shia, who disappeared as a child, and is supposed to return in the end times. golly, i wonder how they could bring on end times…
if civilization survives, not only will it be a miracle of God, it will finally discredit the left. since i won’t be one of the survivors (i live in a large city) in either case, i will regret not seeing that.

TYPICAL of the deniers & COWARDS at the BBC !
On top of this she is probably very FRIGHTENED of the POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES should she step out of the prescribed safe space of denials & LIES !
Remember this is the BBC that DENIED all of this many times, Rubbished the BHP for bringing it up at all & called them all racists !
The RACISTS have all turned out to be the PAKISTANI CHILD RAPIST who shout that WHITE WOMEN & CHILDREN are good for SEX & nothing else !
PAXMAN EX BBC – working for Al Jezeera tried to TRAP Robinson with an OLD TESTAMENT & PRETENDING it to be a KORAN !

But yes, she is dumb, no doubt about it. And there will be dumber leftists, just wait for it.
John Forbes says
Realistically she has to support the LEFT at the BBC or she will probably no longer be employed ,
So the wider question is WHY all over the WEST is there support for the relentless ISLAMIC push into the Democracies of the WEST knowing that the INTENT is to destroy DEMOCRACY & Introduce SHARIA ??
IS there only DENIAL & NO UNDERSTANDING or are the LEFTISTS COMPLICIT ???
This woman has to toe the line or she is PROBABLY OUT given the HISTORY of the BBC who support MULTICULTURALISM no matter how bad the CHILD RAPING & ABUSE !
There have even been KILLINGS of CHILDREN by these MONSTERS & Sill the BBC sits on the side lines.
This determination & DENIAL is utterly ASTOUNDING & I for one cannot understand it ??
No matter how hard many TRY to change the attitude of the BBC & POLICE & COUNCILS & GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IT SEEMS TO MAKE NO DIFFERENCE .
Remember it took an ARTICLE from ANDREW NORFOLK in the LONDON TIMES to get the POLICE & GOVERNMENT to even ADMIT there is a RACE/RELIGIOUS ABUSE pattern to the CHILD RAPING & there is STILL a DETERMINED COVER UP & LITTLE APPETITE at really TACKLING this HORRIFIC CHILD RAPE EPIDEMIC of their OWN WHITE CHILDREN !
Little chance it seems of any change in this position from the BRITISH ESTABLISHMENT any time soon !
The CONSENSUS seem to LET TIME have it FADE AWAY & as usual the PUBLIC may lose interest as they are for the most part utterly POWERLESS !!!!
b.a. freeman says
it’s worse than U say. the elites are, by and large, boobs who are unaware of critical thinking, and have no idea of what a single islamic belief may be, but they are led by hard-core leftists. i guarantee that those people are not stupid, and that they *know* islam is evil. they can’t set up their “people’s republic” (neither a republic nor belonging to the people) by the ballot box, so they need to do it via treachery. pious muslims – of which there are plenty in the world – are their proxy troops, and they will be the ones to destabilize society. once the usually-leftist-dominated governments declare martial law, the leftist dystopia is on.
worse yet, they are underestimating the muslim hordes they have imported. i’m sure that they plan to murder all muslims once they take over, but i don’t think our militaries will quickly agree to mass murder. they may get some officers to agree to slaughtering muslims, but the victims will only become “martyrs,” who will inspire “moderate” muslims to become pious.
what a pleasant future we face: either leftist dystopia or muslim gang rule.
Clem says
How stupid and in denial can people be? She is emotionally wedded to, “Islam is no big deal. It is roughly equivalent to other religions, so why mention it” But in effect she is pre-submitting to her future Islamic masters. Masters of the UK unless the UK drastically changes course.
There is a war in the heavens and somehow Islamic- Allah mind rays are able to penetrate the skulls of hypnotizable Westerners. I have seen good stage act hypnotists in action. They have enough experience to pick out the right audience members who they know they can hypnotize on stage and get them barking like a dog or swatting at non-existent flies. They can tell at a glance which audience members will not fall under their hypnosis.
