Why not? Slavery is acceptable in Islam.
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.
“Son of Guinea’s first president charged with forced labor in Texas,” by Laura Koran and Laura Jarrett, CNN, April 26, 2018 (thanks to Robert):
Washington (CNN)A Texas couple with deep political connections in the West African country of Guinea was charged Thursday with forced labor after a young woman they allegedly enslaved for more than 16 years managed to escape their home in Southlake with help from neighbors.
Mohamed Toure and Denise Cros-Toure, both 57, allegedly brought the victim from Guinea to Texas in 2000, when she was just 5 years old. She has not been named.
They allegedly then forced the girl to do housework and care for their children, subjecting her to emotional and physical abuse, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
“Although the victim was close in age to the children, the defendants denied her access to schooling and the other opportunities afforded to their children,” the department alleges.
The couple originally hail from Guinea, where Mohamed Toure is an influential figure and son of Guinea’s first President, Ahmed Sekou Toure.
The younger Toure was also a leader of the political opposition party in Guinea, although he has no diplomatic immunity or status, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Following his father’s death in 1984, Mohamed Toure was imprisoned along with other members of his family, according to the authors of Historical Dictionary of Guinea. He was later exiled to Morocco and Ivory Coast before settling in Texas with his wife and children.
He later returned to Guinea, where he was named secretary general of his father’s old political party.
Now, Toure and his wife face up to 20 years in prison on the forced labor charge.
“As part of their coercive scheme to compel the victim’s labor, the defendants took her documents and caused her to remain unlawfully in the United States after her visa expired,” the Justice Department alleges in its press release. “They further isolated her from her family and others and emotionally and physically abused her.”
In the criminal complaint against the Toure, the lead investigator alleges that the victim — referred to only as Female Victim 1 or FV-1 — was forced to sleep on the floor for years, and was only taken to see a medical professional once.
The complaint also alleges disturbing incidents of physical abuse by Cros-Toure, who allegedly beat the victim, sometimes with a belt or electrical cord. In one incident, the victim alleged an earring was pulled out of her ear by Cros-Toure with such force that it tore her earlobe, leaving a visible scar….
Elizabeth Lawson says
Words escape me when thinking about the horror that was inflicted upon this poor, defenceless child. The cruelty so evident in this story is indescribable. Away with the pair of psychopaths responsible for this outrage – to the most miserable dungeon on the planet, and make sure to throw away the key. The cash that they have should rightly be used to fund this young woman’s education and rehabilitation.
PMP says
Oh well, welcome to Texas. I never ceased to be amazed at the revelations that come out of Texas. So much for the “manly, upright, cowboy mentality and defender of women’s rights” that Texas has BS’d the entire world about. The vast majority ended up being a bunch of sniveling, gutless, spineless cowards who are too busy sucking up to and kowtowing to muslims to take care of their own people and little girls and women. At least stop wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats. Because you all sure as hell have completely destroyed the whole world’s belief and perceptions as to what a “real cowboy” is. And that is not a bunch of panty wearing pussies like y’all are!!!!

Please call your therapist.

Thankfully, the Texan neighbors did help the young lady escape.
James says
Californians are moving to Texas in droves, bringing their leftist mindset with them. The state is at risk of going blue.
PRCS says
Many of those Californian’s are heading to Texas because of that mindset.
Jules says
Shut up you idiot. We are 30 MILLION strong. There are liberals in Texas who are trying to destroy it but idiots like you are a dime a dozen. I will stick my boot up your dumb ass and enlighten you about Texas.
PMP says
In response to those who “reacted’ vehemently: Grow up and pay attention. My point went right over your heads. I said, “the majority”. Obviously, in light of your “REACTIONS” you are not in the gutless majority that voted for the individuals that are destroying your State. (politicians, judges, police chiefs etc., etc.). So maybe you should calm down? Just a bit?
And obviously, the perpetrators are not “Texans”. My point (again) is to highlight the fact that the overwhelming majority of Texans, (based on statistics) are pro islam immigration. Even with the disgusting, cruel, malicious hateful, fascist behavior that is their trademark. And obviously my comments exclude virtually all that read and follow Jihad Watch. It would be nice to see the vitriol that my comment garnered, be directed towards muslims and muslim supporters as intended.
CogitoErgoSum says
Well, Texas did enter the Union as a slave state and fought with the Confederacy during the Civil War, 1861-1865. However, they did lose, freed their slaves and remained a part of the United States. I give them credit for that …. plus I like the way cowboys talk …. plus the Lone Ranger was one of my favorite heroes when I was growing up (which I’m still working on, though not so much anymore). I like Texas … or the mythical Texas anyway. But yeah, it worries me that the land of bluejeans and bonnets might some day turn into a land full of thawbs and hijabs. The fact that camels didn’t work out so well when introduced into the American Southwest in the mid 1800’s give me a little bit of hope.
JW_Reader says
What you are babbling about? This couple is more Guinean than Texan. The guy is active in Guinea politics. How many Texans you know keeps slaves? Whereas, you will find Muslims keeping slaves almost all 50 states – those Muslims are just not caught. Google search about a student from Saudi Arabia who kept sex slave, while living with his family in Colorado.

Marco says
I assure you the majority of us are still kick ass Texans. You would have to know this is happening in order to do something about it. Texas as a very red state is under seige by Muslims and lefty’s. You are an a$$.
TheBuffster says
That’s it, Marco. You don’t know someone is keeping a slave until the facts come out. Who knows what’s going on behind closed doors. All kinds of abuse happens in every state, but we have to have the evidence before anyone can prosecute.
And once this couple was found out they were prosecuted and got 20 years in prison for it.
TheBuffster says
The article doesn’t claim that the police were told about this for years and ignored it, as in Rotherham and many other towns in the UK. Apparently, once the Texas authorities knew what had happened to this woman, they went after the people who enslaved her.
Heartland Patriot says
Hey, just so you know, Southlake is a rich suburb in the DFW area full of escapees from California…and those two certainly weren’t Texans, either.
gravenimage says
PMP, as soon as it was revealed that this girl was being kept as a slave, she was freed by Texas authorities. It was not as though Texans approved of her being enslaved.
PMP says
Look, I understand what you are saying. I do not disagree with you. What I was trying to convey is that when one looks at each of the States and analyses their respective tolerance and acceptance levels of muslims and violent acts and sexually deviant behavior perpetrated by muslims, that most people are absolutely shocked to discover that Texas is among the most “tolerant and accepting” of such behavior. And in point of fact, defends and supports them.
When one looks back, Texas always had the reputation of being very protective of the rights of weaker people and staunch defenders of women’s rights as well. They always had the “tough guy” reputation of being stand up and fight like a man. In juxtaposition, this certainly does not seem to be the case now.
gravenimage says
Well, that much is true, PMP–a lot of people still crow, “don’t mess with Texas!”, or “that would never happen in Texas”, but there is actually at times a disturbing amount of dhimmitude there.
But I don’t believe that any Texans approved of this Muslim slavery there. And Muslims have done this in a number of other states, including my home state of California.
The fact is that we are all in trouble.

I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS VIDEO MANY TIMES HERE ON JW — “Muhammad, The White Prophet With Black Slaves”.
By Dr. David Wood, it contains abundant citations to establish David’s assertions, and also is full of his impish humor.

How many more slaves are there right now being held like this? And how many people knew about this one?
And how long till the facts of the horrid nature of Islam are known by all?
Thank G for Robert Spencer and his good work.
PRCS says
“And how many people knew about this one?”
Per the article, “managed to escape their home in Southlake with help from neighbors.”
Not sure what caused their concern or for how long they suspected there was a problem, though.
somehistory says
Poor kid. More scars than the one in her ear.
The mugshots alone tell an evil story. The eyes are windows to their evil souls.
JM says
Our hearts go out to the poor young woman.
The vicious couple are from Guinea, which is 90% Muslim. The prevalence rate of FGM is 96%, the second highest in the world, after Somalia.
99% of Muslim females in Guinea have undergone FGM, in a country where 50% of the population view “cutting” as a religious duty.
So it’s safe to assume that the woman being charged is herself an FGM victim. She might be seething with rage and abusive as a result, which could shed some light on her cruelty, but not excuse it.
And her better half needs no reason to be brutal and sadistic. As a Muslim man, he’s proudly following the timeless and shining example of the “prophet”.
souare says
No the highest FGM rate in the world is Egypt. But the true statistics are hard to come by. It’s done quietly in places like Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
esther says
that the little girl was enslaved suggests that she was not born of muslim parents
WPM says
I would bet she was sold at a slave market overseas and brought her at 5,not knowing the language here keep in fear by this sadist couple . Just think how the other children of this couple were bought up thinking this is normal to own a personal slave. Islam the religion of child abuse ,the poster child on making sadistic processes just normal things in everyday life .
Steve in MO says
This was a terrible thing. I hope the couple named in this atrocity will be held accountable in every way legally possible.
This was really human trafficking. Taking away her identity papers so she didn’t have any right to citizenship.
What happened to the couple’s own children. Apparently they were going to school, having an education and having all the advantages while the enslaved child was slaving away for them.
There seemed to be a religious connection in the article. I hope Muslim leaders will condemn the couple who did this.
Apparently there is still a lot of slavery going on in Africa. It needs to be stopped, although probably if this is going on in people coming from Guinea, it is going on there even now.
Apparently the people enslaving the child were connected with politics and high officials in Guinea. That would probably mean they are privileged although they left Guinea and came to the US.
Berengaria says
Mohammad & Denise settled in Texas with their slave, OMG, I thought Slavery was Outlawed in the USA.
It appears that Slavery is now acceptable, as long as the Slaveholder is Not White. We may be encouraged to accept another PIECE of the Enriching Culture of Islam, POLYGAMY.
Muslim Culture will rot the very fabric of Our Country.
These two Democrats from Guinea, will never be held accountable for their crimes, SICK!
TheBuffster says
Berengaria, slavery *is* outlawed in the USA. So is theft and murder and rape and a lot of other things, but criminals break laws. In fact, that’s pretty much the definition of being a criminal. Just because something is against the law doesn’t mean people won’t do it. And if they manage to hide their crime well enough, they’ll get away with it for as long as their ruse succeeds.
How does this story show that slavery is now acceptable in the US as long as the slaveholder isn’t white? These people have been charged and will face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty, now that they’ve been discovered.
If they get off very lightly, instead, then maybe we can say that slavery has become acceptable. But clearly it is not acceptable under the law, or else they would not have been charged.
gravenimage says
Buffster is right, Berengaria–it is not that slavery is accepted in the United States, it is that these Muslims were breaking the law in enslaving this girl. You can bet they did not enslave her openly. Often in these cases even close neighbors do not know about it.
rbblum says
Given the life and times in America today, really wonder how many other situations similar to this may actually exist.
utis says
Now this young lady really needs and deserves reparations. Her whole life wrecked before she even got started. I would not mind paying taxes to help this kid recover. I am sure the “master” did a lot more than beat and insult her. The couple should be sent to jailed till they’re 70 and then airdropped in Qatar or some other “tolerant” state.
This case, like the ISIS widow pining in exile for McDonald’s, show that muslim women do have some advantages: when slaves do their housework (including sex) for them. Yes, I know most muslim men are too poor to have slaves and junior wives to help the spouse, so she has to do it all herself — but there is the dream, isn’t there?
P.S. Major congratulations to the Texas neighbors who saw something and even did something. You are why Americans can be proud.

Texas: Muslim migrant couple kept woman as a slave for 16 years, starting when she was five years old
…………………..
Just horrifying–this poor girl.
Muslims have done this before, though. You have to wonder how many more victims they are keeping as slaves here in the free West.
