Hugh Fitzgerald: Gerard Batten and the Question of Sex Slaves (Part Two)

Nov 29, 2018 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Robert Spencer notes that “a powerful statement of the right to sex slaves in Islam was delivered on May 25, 2011 by a female Kuwaiti politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, who spoke in favor  of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and Islamic morality.

She testified: “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.”

Spencer continues:

This has certainly been well understood by the members of Islamic State who engaged in the wholesale seizure  of Yazidi (and some Christian) girls to be used as  sex slaves,  The legitimizing of sex slaves is found both in Qur’an passages –e.g.,Surah Al-Muminun (23:6) and Surah Al-Maarij (70:30)– and in the behavior of Muhammad, who took 12 wives and numerous concubines, including those who could be  described as “those whom my right hand possesses” which meant “sex slaves.”

Non-Muslim girls who were raped by Muslims report that their rapist would pray just before and just after raping them. Clearly they believed it had religious sanction, that they were only being good Muslims.

Gerard Batten has performed a service, not just in talking about the Rotherham grooming gangs and the failures of the authorities to investigate these gangs, but in connecting the behavior of the Muslims in the gangs who for so long exploited — as sex slaves — English (Infidel) girls, to verses in the Qur’an, and stories about Muhammad in the Hadith, both legitimizing the practice. The next time Batten appears on a television interview, he might just enlarge on both those sources — quoting from a handful of the 15 Qur’anic verses about “those whom your right hand possesses” — ma malakat aymanukum — and from the Hadith, mentioning by name a few of Muhammad’s own sex slaves, such as Rayhana bint Zayd, of the vanquished Banu Qurayza.

Gerard Batten, this commonsensical, mild-mannered, altogether admirable man, no matter how often he is described as “far right” and “racist” by the likes of Gillian Joseph, should be able, by dint of repetition — even the truth, in this hectic age, needs to be repeated to make it stick — to imprint on the brains of his listeners what is a very simple notion. To wit, that the phrase “those whom your right hand possesses,” repeated fifteen times in the Qur’an, refers to female slaves taken from among the conquered Unbelievers, who can be used by Muslim males for sex, that according to the Qur’an this is a legitimate activity, that Muhammad himself, the Perfect Man and Model of Conduct, took such sex slaves. Yazidi and Christian girls have been mass-raped by members of the Islamic State, Christian girls have been kidnapped and raped by members of Boko Haram, and more than 1,400 English girls, as young as 11, were repeatedly raped in Rotherham alone by Muslim men who believed that such Unbelievers could naturally be treated as sex slaves, for they were, according to the Qur’an  “the most vile of creatures.” These are all examples of the persistence of the sex slave idea, which will last, alas, as long as Islam itself.

    So, Islam is at war with Christianity, but Christianity is ignoring it? Is that what’s going on?

      Well, the leader of the largest Christian sect in the world is, Pope Karl the 1st, so that should tell you something.

    If you have the ‘perfect human being’ and perfect role model so IMMORAL ,then what can one expect from his followers who happen to be completely brain washed , brain damaged ,brain dead or simply brainless.

    Islam’s TOP CLERICS and TOP UNIVERSITY SCHOLARS agree that SEX SLAVERY was PRACTICED BY MOHAMMED and by his COMPANIONS and is thus an AUTHENTIC and APPROVED PRACTICE of orthodox Islam.

    There is no disagreement among MAINSTREAM ISLAM about the authentic Islamic practice of SEX SLAVERY.

    It is normative, rather than an aberration. Islam is a rape cult.

    Gerard Batten is one of the few honest politicians in UK in the matter of what Islam TRULY TEACHES.

    Gerard Batten is a brave man and those who oppose him should be ashamed for DEFENDING A RAPE CULT from EXPOSURE and UNIVERSAL CONDEMNATION.

      Mortimer, Agreed! Batten is one of the few honest politicians in the UK. Batten is a foundation member of UKIP, and the man who should have been elected leader 25 years ago. Instead the vote went to the more charismatic Nigel Farage. I thought at the time that Farage would be just a ‘show pony’ as most of his ilk are. But while Farage did a good job in achieving BREXIT, he has continually prevaricated about Islam. And now he wants to throw Batten out of UKIP because he dared to associate with that ‘awful Islamophobe’ Tommy Robinson. What is Farage’s problem? Is he simply ignorant about Islam? Or is he just another politician too afraid to call a spade a spade?

      • James Lincoln says

        Nov 29, 2018 at 4:41 pm

        Nigel Farage is a lot of things – but he’s not stupid.

        I have followed him for several years now and his knowledge of Islam is somewhat greater than he lets on during short “newsbites”.

        I think that he believes that the UK has already reached the tipping point of Islamization and feels that the problem can be managed with some type of Muslim migration “moderation” and “diplomacy”.

        The problem is, he is dead wrong.

        • 6woods says

          Nov 29, 2018 at 10:26 pm

          No. Farage was for sale, and has been bought and paid for. Don’t waste your time looking for any other explanation. This is textbook Occam’s Razor.

    Both Sunni and Shiite Islam have a history ans continuance of slaves, both sex slaves and non- sex slaves. To just focus ,at this time, on Sunni sex slaves of the jihad terror organization ISIS and likewise the brutal heartless male jihadist members of ISIS.

    Those ISIS jihadists with jihad malice –filled heinously cruel misogyny with their kidnapping and raping both girls and women because their religion. There are some naive and uninformed people who might , understandably, when finding out about this be shocked and then stop and wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malicious , vile, unfeeling and misogynistic ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
