I am a Canadian ex-Muslim. In Part 1 of this series, I addressed the cult-like nature of Mohammedanism and the harsh realities of Islamic apostasy. In this segment, I will address the permissibility of rape in Islamic theology.
Rape and pedophilia are considered by most human beings to be the worst of crimes. And yet sadly, Islam’s most revered and authoritative texts (the Qur’an, hadiths and sira), confirmed by the perverse behaviour of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam (the model for Muslim believers to emulate – cf. Qur’an 33:21), record that both rape and pedophilia are permissible for Muslims.
The penalty for blasphemy against “Allah and His Prophet” is typically death in Muslim-majority countries. Fortunately, I do not live in a Sharia state or a Muslim-majority country, or I would be hung from the nearest tree by the Islamic government or a Muslim mob, for the crime of leaving Islam.
The freedom of speech is now under constant attack in Canada and other non-Islamic nations by Muslim activists and their clueless non-Muslim enablers, but it has thus far been able to survive, despite many false charges of racism, bigotry and “Islamophobia” being bandied about.
Articles critical of Islam, such as this one, rarely see the light of day in Muslim-majority nations. Sharia censorship and the penalty of death prescribed for the authors of such articles is the reason why.
The Permissibility of Rape in Islam:
The Qur’anic justification for rape is made clear in its many verses that inform Muslims that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use, which refer to such women as being “captives of the right hand.” Clearly, the phrase “captives of the right hand” refers to Infidel women owned by their Muslim masters. The obvious implication is that these Infidel women have no choice in the matter, and hence can be raped at will by their Muslim masters.
Qur’an 4:3: “And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].”
Qur’an 4:24: “And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.”
Qur’an 23:1-6: “Certainly the believers have succeeded: They who are during their prayer humbly submissive, and they who turn away from ill speech, and they who are observant of zakah, and they who guard their private parts, except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed.”
Qur’an 33:50: “O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.”
According to Islam’s most revered and authoritative texts, Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is known to have raped at least two Infidel women during his lifetime, Safiyah and Juwairiyah:
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367:
Narrated ‘Abdul ‘Aziz: Anas said, ‘When Allah’s Apostle invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there yearly in the morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet . He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, ‘Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.’ He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, ‘Muhammad (has come).’ (Some of our companions added, “With his army.”) We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, ‘O Allah’s Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.’ The Prophet said, ‘Go and take any slave girl.’ He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Allah’s Apostles! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.’ So the Prophet said, ‘Bring him along with her.’ So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya, ‘Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.’ Anas added: The Prophet then manumitted her and married her.” Thabit asked Anas, “O Abu Hamza! What did the Prophet pay her (as Mahr)?” He said, “Her self was her Mahr for he manumitted her and then married her.” Anas added, “While on the way, Um Sulaim dressed her for marriage (ceremony) and at night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet . So the Prophet was a bridegroom and he said, ‘Whoever has anything (food) should bring it.’ He spread out a leather sheet (for the food) and some brought dates and others cooking butter. (I think he (Anas) mentioned As-SawTq). So they prepared a dish of Hais (a kind of meal). And that was Walima (the marriage banquet) of Allah’s Apostle .”
Sunan Abu Dawud 29:3920:
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin: Juwayriyyah, daughter of al-Harith ibn al-Mustaliq, fell to the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas, or to her cousin. She entered into an agreement to purchase her freedom. She was a very beautiful woman, most attractive to the eye. Aisha said: She then came to the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) asking him for the purchase of her freedom. When she was standing at the door, I looked at her with disapproval. I realised that the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) would look at her in the same way that I had looked. She said: Apostle of Allah, I am Juwayriyyah, daughter of al-Harith, and something has happened to me, which is not hidden from you. I have fallen to the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas, and I have entered into an agreement to purchase of my freedom. I have come to you to seek assistance for the purchase of my freedom. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Are you inclined to that which is better? She asked: What is that, Apostle of Allah? He replied: I shall pay the price of your freedom on your behalf, and I shall marry you. She said: I shall do this. She (Aisha) said: The people then heard that the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) had married Juwayriyyah. They released the captives in their possession and set them free, and said: They are the relatives of the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) by marriage. We did not see any woman greater than Juwayriyyah who brought blessings to her people. One hundred families of Banu al-Mustaliq were set free on account of her.
This hadith confirms the hadith above — Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 46, Number 717:
Narrated Ibn Aun: I wrote a letter to Nafi and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter that the Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children were taken as captives; the Prophet got Juwairiya on that day. Nafi said that Ibn ‘Umar had told him the above narration and that Ibn ‘Umar was in that army.
See here for more information.
According to many of Islam’s most sacred texts, Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, was not only a rapist, but also a confirmed pedophile:
Sahih Bukhari Vol.7, Book 62, No.88:
Narrated ‘Ursa: The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with ‘Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).
Sadly, as mentioned above, Muslims are taught in the supposedly perfect Qur’an that Muhammad is the model man who is to be emulated in every instance:
Qur’an 33:21: “There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.”

Congratulations to you Mr. Smith for researching Islam and congratulations and thank you for your courage in leaving this brigand cult and sharing truth with others. May you live in health and safety.
BC says
This is even worse as it was written by Islam’s leading cleric in the late 20th century:
A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate vaginally, but sodomising the child is acceptable. If a man does penetrate and damage the child then, he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl will not count as one of his four permanent wives and the man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister… It is better for a girl to marry at such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband’s house, rather than her father’s home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven. [“Tahrirolvasyleh”, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990]
Carolyne says
It is the most disgusting thing in the world tome (Well, likely not the most disgusting since Islam is disgusting through and through) that a father can just give his daughter to anyone without her consent. She will be raped, and if she is a child probably injured for life. Islam is nothing but a sexual perversion invented by a pedophile for weak minded men to follow.

The very FACT that the Muslim constitution,The final authority, The Koran, gives permission to Muslims to rape, what they consider infidel women, SHOULD be enough for western leaders to take necessary action, whatever that might be, to make Islam illegal, or at least to make their leaders remove this authority from the so called Islamic religion but not only rape but there are so many other atrocious acts authorized in Islam that SHOULD sway all western governments to come down on Islam with a vengeance…
Why is this not happening? Because Islam, with all its atrocities, is still considered a RELIGION which it appears that no western leader wants to touch.
What has to be done? It will take CHANGING LAWS to address the Islamic problem…Maybe a western commission of western world governments or something similar to at least make an effort…
One must compare religions here and in doing so I think one will find Islam to be the most radical…allowing such atrocities that but up against everything that Is civil and not in other religions.
The problem…Islam is so entrenched in Europe and European leaders have caved in to it to far in order for them to retreat..Therefore no “Commission” or something like it will not be possible…..and America can’t do it all…Maybe we WILL have to stand alone but we have “ANOTHER” migration problem also the “SOUTHERN BORDER” migration, and this is not just a non-muslim problem… Muslims are coming to that border also. A question also arises… What about our NORTHERN BORDER? Many many Muslims in Canada.
Lots if problems and questions out there and no immediate answers.

I don’t think we need to change our laws for Muslims–we just need to start enforcing them more vigorously.
Save Europe says
There have been several cases in the West which have shown that the rape epidemic was utterly motivated by Islamic intolerance towards non Muslim women –
For example : A) a teenage girl, in Bristol, was gang raped by a group of Somali youths in a hotel. Both during and after the court case, both the defendants and their families yelled – Allahu Ackbar from the seating areas, inside.
B) a German woman raped by a migrant said that as he penetrated her, with every thrust he screeched ‘Inshallah’.
C) a victim of a Pakistani Muslim grooming/rape Gang in the UK stated how her rapist used to tell her, daily, he was permitted to do so because of the Muslim scriptures. Whilst raping her, he would recite verses.

All true.

CogitoErgoSum says
Keep in mind also that in Islam the lust, the rape, and the insult to the dignity of women goes beyond this life and into the next. The harlot-like houris await the emulators of Muhammad and those who died for Allah in this world will be granted never-ending pleasures in Allah’s brothel in the sky. Also, according to one of the scholars at Al-Azhar, the poisonous (and poisoned) Muhammad will even take as his wife, the Virgin Mary, thus, defiling her virginity (even though his soul most likely is burning in Hell). See the link below:
http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2017/01/26/prophet-mohammed-will-marry-virgin-mary-islamic-cleric-says-raising-christians-ire/
I can’t begin to put into words how much the religion of Submission disgusts me. It’s “prophet” goes beyond just being a liar and crosses over into the realm of also being a robber, a murderer, a rapist, and, to top it all off, a pedophile. This evil piece of human waste even tricked his followers into emulating his pedophilia by getting the women to shave their pubic area so they will look more like a 9 year old child named Aisha …. who aroused him the most.
Oh, piece of human waste does not even come close to my estimation of Muhammad.
abad says

If Muslims, dying in jihad, only really knew where he was headed after death then maybe there would be no jihad at all.. That awful Lake of Fire awaits all who refuse to repent and accept Jesus as savior And if the apostate law had been removed there would be no Islam at all.
Jean Terry says
I don’t understand why the liberal leaderships of countries allow the immigration of so many Muslims into their countries. They should vet each one carefully. There never seems to be any outrage from the left when woman are raped by these people. Or from the women’s lib group. The whole thing is beyond me. Apparently in England you cannot tell the truth any more as demonstrated by Mr. Spencer’s being banned from that country. Also, the gentleman who is locked up without trial. Tommy something? How long before people rise up against this kind of leadership?
Terry Gain says
You can’t vet Muslims. By now they know the right answers. Any Muslim immigration is foolish. All Muslims should be banned on the basis that they subscribe to an ideology which is seditious and intent on conquest.
Proven ex-Muslims should be welcomed
Jayadev G A G says
Terry Gain,
You put it so well.
“All Muslims should be banned on the basis that they subscribe to an ideology which is seditious and intent on conquest. Only proven ex-Muslims should be welcomed.”
In India, there have been innumerable cases of highly educated youth from “seemingly good and wealthy Muslim families” openly supporting Jihadi Islam (= supporting prejudice and violence against non-Muslim communities and anti-national activities).
So how can one tell that the children of a “good” Muslim allowed immigration will not take to Jihadi Islam ???
Lilith Wept says
Moslems are told they can trick and fool the kaffir , especially if it’s in the cause of Allah ( Islam ) or spreading Islam. It plainly says in the Koran that the goal of Islam is to spread the religion of Allah to every country, to convert everyone I the world so the entire world is Islamic.
To do the tricking and fooling of kaffir , moslems are allowed many kinds of deception , the most common we know as taqyyia ( this is a Shi’a term,)
Mohammed even said “ war is deceit” and saw e all know moslems call all non Moslem countries Dar al Harb ( the house of war” and according to the Koran and Hadiths, Islam is at war with all non moslems .
So moslems are allowed to lie to us, to lie bunommision, tomlike by inference, to lie by mistranslation, to,lie by any means as long as we kaffir are fooled. Moslems are allowed to swear false oaths and false treaters, to break peace treaties whenever they have had enough time afforprded by the peace time , to gather resources, re group and get ready to fight the kuffar again. Moslems are allowed to swear false oaths, becaus the Korwn plainly tells moslems that no moslem is to be in a position, a job,anything , where the Moslem is inferior and kuffar are superior, no Moslem is to take orders from a kuffar. And no Moslem is to support you kuffar over Islam and Moslems. If they do any of these things then they are considered a kuffir themselves . .
By the fact that mainstream Islam, the commands of both Allah and Mohammed in the Koran and the accepted as reliable Hadiths , all tell moslems that they are at war with non moslems and that they can do virtually anything, say anything, if it’s to spread Islam, for the cause of Allah, or to trick and fool the non moslems so to gain any kind of adbpvantage for Islam or moslems, ………by this fact alone we should never alow moslems in this country and never allow them to hold any position of authority, influence or power…..no moslems in Goverment, no moslems in the military, no moslems as police or security. No moslems allowed to buy firearms. By this fact alone we should ban Islam as not being compatible with western laws and system of Goverment.

yup consider that muhammed was a REPROBATE self professed DEMON possessed mass murder thief LIAR robber adulterer necrophiliac and PEDOPHILE PERVERT and yet muslims consider him as the “perfect man” of islam and to be emulated at all times- this explains why muslim dominate countries are such SH*T HOLES for human rights
tim gallagher says
It is truly unbelievable, John, that a man as evil as Muhammad can be seen by MUslims as the “perfect” man and chosen by their version of god. And Muslims spend their time trying to emulate this evil creature’s actions. Islam condones every evil imaginable. Islam is so barbaric and evil whereas many other religions have high ideals to strive for. And it is so sickening that so many people in the western world spend their time defending this evil cult, Islam, which is surely satanic. Congratulations to Saleem for leaving Islam behind and joining the better members of the human race, the non-Muslims.

With a few exceptions there is little economy in Muslim majority countries. I read that the 57 have a combined GDP about the same as France. Indonesia, far from the Middle East hit $ 1 Trillion GDP last year. They should be copied. by the other 56. All 10 of the least stable governments allow polygamy. There are about 7 Muslim Nobels [4 are Peace Prizes] compared to 201 for Jews. The number of books translated into Arabic in all time is about what gets translated into Spanish in a decade or two. That last one comes from a Pakastani prof writing an article in my BU Alumni Mag. Saudi still has public beheadings. To me these facts say it all. Except, go read the Koran and make all world leaders read it. Much would be solved so quickly if world leaders were disabused of their simple ignorance.

The Grotesque Immorality of Mainstream Islamic Ethics (Part 2)
………………….
Thank you, Saleem Smith. I was looking forward to part 2.
Yes–pedophilia and rape are not just condoned in Islam, but *sacralized* on the vicious model of the “Prophet” Muhammed. And under Shari’ah, no one is allowed to criticize these horrors, on penalty of death.
The suffering of woman and girls–and young boys–both Muslim and non-Muslim–due to this is utterly horrifying, and goes on all the time today. Just look at child “marriage” in the Muslim world, and the mushrooming rape epidemic in Europe and the rest of the West.
Amnon says
What about peadophilia amongst heads of state and satanism and child sacrifice? Sexual abuse is not just a Muslim phenomena.

Amnon wrote:
What about peadophilia amongst heads of state and satanism and child sacrifice?
……………………….
What Infidel heads of state are practicing pedophilia?
The closest things I can find is a charge that Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi solicited sex with a 17-year-old prostitute. Pretty sleazy, but not exactly pedophilia. And Russia’s Vladimir Putin is rumored to have had an affair with a gymnast beginning when she was a teenager. That’s it.
As for the claim that Satanism involves child sacrifice, this has been completely debunked. I am *no* fan of Satanism, but there are simply no cases of child sacrifice–not one.

Sexual abuse is not just a Muslim phenomena.

No one ever said that it was–but pedophilia is *illegal* in the civilized world, and such crimes are prosecuted here.
Not so in Dar-al-Islam, where child marriage is rife, as Amnon must know.

Congratulations for leaving Islam, the World’s Most Amoral Religion (TM Pending).
The Quran’s endorsement of all that is evil, its condemnation of all that is good including bacon and beer, demands its questioning.
Isn’t it funny how the liberal elite in America once upon a time touted “Question everything” – everything except what their agenda endorsed, which happens to include Islam.
So you left Islam. So you leave the Cult of Misery(TM Pending) behind and have a second chance at life, to appreciate life to the fullest, experience true happiness and peace, two things Islam can never give any of it believers.

I once spent time living in Amsterdam.

The contradictions in Islam are mind boggling. They tell us that a major sin is to believe there is a limit to Allah’s power. The claim Allah is all powerful and this power can not be limited.

Is this not limiting Allah’s power a major sin? Both positions can not be true since they are contradictory.
