Why have we seen not just the Islamic State, but also Boko Haram and now al-Shabaab take sex slaves? Because it is sanctioned in Islamic law. 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. In March 2017, Quebec imam Ewis El Nagar said that the Islamic ruling allowing slave girls was still in force.
The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction.
“Sex Slave Survivor of Christian-Killing Group Al-Shabaab Describes Gang Rapes, Forced Abortions,” by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, December 12, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A woman who was held captive and repeatedly raped by members of Al Shabaab is sharing the horrific details of daily sexual abuse and forced abortions endured by those who are kidnapped by the the radical Islamic terror group.
Kenya’s The Standard reported on Sunday the story of one of the women who survived the ordeal at Boni Forest camp, identified as Fatuma, who said that she and others were raped by as many as six men at a time for five years.
“The women in the camp had to cook, wash clothes for the militants and undertake other household duties. The fighters frequently physically and sexually abused us. Some militants would beat us if they did not like something we cooked, which was often for me as I was not familiar with cooking Somali injera (bread) that was preferred by the militants,” Fatuma, who managed to escape the jihadists a year ago, explained.
She said the militants forced the women to use contraceptives and undergo abortions when they got pregnant.
The abuse reportedly worsened when Al-Shabaab fighters battled the African Union Mission in Somalia or Somalia National Army troops.
“They would drink and take drugs all day and night, whether celebrating the killing of Somalia National Army or AMISOM soldiers or mourning their own, and that’s when the gang rapes would happen,” she recalled.
Fatuma said that only the female captives who were married off to commanders were allowed to have children, and said that there were about 15 children at the camp.
The woman, who admitted that she was looking for work with Al-Shabaab before finding out what the group is really about, said that captives were also often forced to use drugs and were treated as prisoners.
“If you were lucky, a commander would take you as a wife and that would stop other militants from raping you. But those who were made wives were only native Somalis,” she said….

Mohammed not only took sex slaves, he sold the taking of sex slaves as one of the benefits of joining him in Jihad. I am waiting for the media and Democrats to condemn Mohammed.
StacyGirl says
And that’s how the nuns explained the allure of Islam. The warring savages could go on as they pleased but their deeds were now in the name of Allah.
mortimer says
Many Somalis living in America agree with those monsters too.
Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington (17,320, Columbus, Ohio (8,280), Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue (7,850), San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos (2,845), Washington, D.C.-Arlington-Alexandria (2,715).
They see nothing wrong with the repression of women.

Grimly true. It was Somali Muslims who raped a little 5-year-old Infidel girl in Idaho.
elee says
For the xxxxx-thousandth time, can someone please explain to me why not only Muslim women but also western women, libbers or “feminists” or whatever, feel called upon to advocate and sacrifice for their own oppression? Is the Muslim anthropology correct, are women best served by being kept in a women’s world where the fortunate among them are protected from men’s lusts (which are deliberately encouraged through all the varieties of taharush)?

Many “feminists” I know are in complete denial over the murderous misogyny of Islam, and only believe that Western men can be sexist. Willful ignorance.
Matthieu Baudin says
Yes Graven and Elee, Radical Feminists are captives of their anti-western, anti-male prejudices which emanate from the postmodern doctrine that they have been thoroughly schooled in. They have become so stupefied by their amoral quasi religion that they simply stare into the distance if you’re bold enough to raise the reality of FGM (clitoral removal) within Islamic communities.
Joe Smith says
This is the new Progressive era Robert. I’m sure you meant, “afforded them the great benefit of required abortions.”
Lydia says
It is a holocaust.
And as before, so again… silence.
Lydia says
“Hush! Or they will cart you off too!”
is the unspoken cry.
Thus for one’s self perseverance, the sacrifice is one’s neighbor.
In silence, the choice is made… deep inside the layers of one’s heart.
In silence, the neighbor is sacrificed, while in silence, “I” continue to exist in my current state.
“I” and “my children.”
Praise the Lord, He did not let me conceive.
“How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!” Matthew 24; 19
“Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed.’ ” Luke 23; 29
And it’s not that bad yet even though this was a double prophesy. But it fits this time already.
gravenimage says
Al-S. IUhabaab kept women as sex slaves, subjected them to gang rapes and forced abortions
…………………….
This horror should surprise no one. I’m glad this one escaped–but there are many more.
And there are even Conservative Infidels who mistakenly believe that Islam bans abortion, but this is anything but the case.
Charles says
I learned long ago,
That to be FULLY HUMAN, requires a human soul!
You may have the physical “body” of a homo sapian BUT! If you lack the most important part; a Human soul, then you are little more then a Savage BEAST!
All that these creatures do, all the vile evil they perpetuate daily, screams long and loud; WE HAVE NO SOUL! WE ARE WORSE THEN ANIMALS!
I can see why GOD has ordained their final destruction in never ending fire.

These men are monsters.
