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

Islamic Republic of Mauritania finally beginning to enforce its law against slavery

Apr 6, 2018 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

Why does Mauritania continually drag its feet about eradicating slavery? Because it’s Islamic.

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.

“Mauritania unchained: Modern slave owners face 20 years in prison,” Al Arabiya, April 4, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Not all slaves have been freed. In Mauritania, slavery is a reprehensible practice which still exists.

A private court in Nouadhibou, Mauritania’s second largest city, recently sentenced three slave owners up to 10 and 20 years in prison.

El Eid Ould Mubarak, is a lawyer and human rights activist working on the case. “This is the first time there is a Mauritanian committee in place implementing the law against slavery: the verdict is valid, and is in line with the legal atmosphere which is in favor of eradicating slavery.”, says Ould Mubarak….

Mauritania became the last country to abolish slavery in 1981. An amnesty report reveals that 43 thousand people, around 1% of the population, are still enslaved. Today, based on a law adopted in 2015, slavery in Mauritania is an official crime against humanity.

Despite the current reprimanding nature against slavery in Mauritania, rights groups claim that the country has arrested more anti-slavery activists than it did slave owners.

    Damn, if you want to buy slaves now you have to go to Libya. More oppressive cultural imperialism from the west, it destroyed such a flourishing Musllim industry in the 1800’s, now the persecution continues, next thing you know they’ll start protecting kafir women from their lawful capture by Muslims.

      Right?!?
      Talk about cramping their style!
      What’s a devout sado-misogynist moslem to do?

      As a one who came of age during the Silly ‘Sixties and SIllier ‘Seventies, I recognize the pride and dignity that Islam brings to the black man. Sheesh. Had i a green dollar for every time I heard that line mindlessly parroted in my youth, I’d have gone into adulthood a multi-millionaire.

    ENSLAVEMENT and RAPE are the eternal DECREES of Allah, and thus no decree of Allah may be questioned or reformed. That would be blasphemy.

      Murder is also authorized….of course they don’t call it murder but murder is murder even if it is committed by a Muslim.

    As i explained earlier, slaves obtained through tribal wars among Africans are illégal because prophet muhammad said he who fights for tribal or ethnic supremacy is not fighting valid jîhad. I presented a working paper on this issue at a conference organised by an Islamic organisation against slavery in Africa held at Niamey Niger Republic.

      First, note that Ibrahim itace muhammed is fine with Muslims enslaving their victims so long as they are Infidels.

      Then, he does not mention that Niger is also riddled with slavery–they only formally criminalized it *in 2003*. There are an estimated over three-quarters of a million people in slavery in Niger, out of a population of just 20 million.

      And these are not the only countries–slavery is also rife in Sudan and in the Islamic State–in most cases the victims here have been Infidels–Christians and animists in Sudan, and Christians and Yezidis in the Islamic State, so Ibrahim itace muhammed must be happy.

      Why is slavery so rife in Dar-al-Islam, and nowhere else? Because the vicious “Prophet” Muhammed himself enslaved captives, was a slave trader, and used his victims as sex slaves.

        Satan (holy spirit) worshiper Gravenimage, what about filthy mithraist churchmen crucifying sex slaves before penetrating with large foreskins after Killing of all those living pursuant to samuel15:3 and now having anus and vaginal sex with Kids under their care ?

          itace, without the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts, you will not understand 1Samuel15:3 (and the greater context of that verse). you do not comprehend what is meant by “all” in this text … Amalekites and Kenites … are those only to be killed. “all” is limited in the text.

          you are consumed by so much hate, you do not think clearly. the best of all deceivers (the allah god of islam) has confused you. your knowledge will always be – not complete – until you rid yourself of hate for Jews, Christians and any others who do not follow the allah god.

          Just cut out your stupid Low IQ “what aboutism”. There are no analogies with Muhammad being a disgusting rapist and slave holder.

          ……………………….

          Firstly, of course, Ibrahim itace muhammed does not bother to answer my questions about the ongoing horrors of Muslim slavery.

          But then, his attempts at Tu Quoque make no sense, either.

          He has said all this before, and it is all false. Despite his constant assertions, there are no Bible verses telling Christian churchmen to keep sex slaves, nor to crucify these mythical sex slaves before raping them.

          Christians are not enslaving anyone–in fact, it was the Christian West that *abolished* slavery.

          Moreover, unlike in Dar-al-Islam, pedophilia is *illegal* and is punished in the civilized West. Whereas, Ibrahim itace muhammed has affirmed that Muslims can “marry” and rape little children, no matter how young.

          And his claims that uncircumsized men have foreskins that are “large” and “hard” just shows his ignorance of basic anatomy.

          All of this is just Ibrahim itace muhammed’s dark fantasies–it has no basis in reality. Meanwhile, back in the real world slavery is still hideously pervasive in the Muslim world.

    …………….

    Well, I hope so., But an estimated 17% of the population in Mauritania is enslaved, so they have their work cut out for them.

    Not all slaves are treated as slaves. Some owners provide better living conditions that “slaves” would not have otherwise.
