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.
“Texas couple convicted of keeping African girl as slave for 16 years,” by Peter Stubley, Independent, January 13, 2019 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
A couple who enslaved a West African girl at their home in Texas for 16 years have been convicted by a federal jury.
Mohamed Touré, the son of Guinea’s first president Ahmed Sékou Touré, and his wife Denise Cros-Toure arranged for the child to travel to the US when she was only five years old.
They forced her to cook, clean and look after their biological children without pay, beat and whipped her and called her a “dog” and a “slave”.
The girl eventually managed to escape from the house in Southlake with the help of concerned neighbours in 2016.
Touré and his wife now face a maximum of 20 years in prison after being found guilty of forced labour, conspiracy to commit alien harbouring and alien harbouring….
The Department of Justice said Touré and his wife were from “powerful, wealthy, and politically connected families in Guinea” while their victim was “uneducated, impoverished and from a small, rural village”.
When the girl’s mother learned the couple had arranged to bring her to the US in January 2000, she unsuccessfully attempted to hide the child.
Once in Texas the couple isolated the girl and prevented her from going to school – unlike their own children, some of whom were around the same age.
Whenever she disobeyed or did not satisfy the couple’s demands she was physically and verbally abused to maintain her compliance.
The punishments included being whipped with an electrical cord, being hosed down with water in public and being thrown out of the house and forced to sleep alone in a nearby park….

They probably won’t serve as many years as they kept this child a prisoner. They should have been charged with kidnapping, child abuse, false imprisonment, and the male creep probably also raped her.
20 years is not nearly long enough, and they won’t serve that many. But it’s good that the jury found them guilty.
ArcadiaP says
They should lose citizenship and be deported along with their children who more than likely knew what was going on. Maybe they didn’t even have citizenship.

james collins says
what’s going to happen when they start demanding a jury of their peers, that is, an all muslim jury and they start getting away with all their sick deeds?
keith says
An eye for an eye. So 16 years of hard labor without pay seems only fair.
Michael Copeland says
“We are Muslim. We are different. The state has criminalized these basic Muslim behaviors”
That is what a Saudi national in Colorado in 2006 protested when found guilty of keeping a woman as a slave housekeeper for four years while repeatedly raping her. He argued that the United States was attacking Islamic customs such as not paying your slave and controlling her life.
Quite a number of “basic Muslim behaviors” are criminal in USA. Sharia is not compatible with the fundamental principles of democracy (European Court, 2003).
Later the Governor of the prison refused parole to the Saudi on the grounds that he had not taken part in any remedial program. Not long afterwards the Governor was shot dead on his doorstep.
RonaldB says
I didn’t know the warden had the power to grant parole. It’s usually the parole board that makes that determination. The warden may have recommended against parole. And yes, the more Muslims we admit into the country, the more opportunity for the violent sharia enforcers to slip under the radar and commit directed terror acts.
Michael Copeland says
It may have been a request to serve the rest of his sentence in Saudi Arabia, rather than a parole application. Memory rusty.
gravenimage says
I remember that hideous story–but had not heard about the prison Governor being murdered.
Yes–this is “basic Muslim behavior”–and another reason that Muslims don’t belong in the civilized world.

Texas: Muslim migrant couple convicted of keeping girl as slave for 16 years
……………….
Hideous–but this does not surprise. How many cases of Muslims keeping slaves–even in the West–have we seen now? And how many more are still enslaved as we speak?
I’m glad she was freed–but there are no doubt many more.

Send them to the Siberian salt mines for the rest of their lives.
Imagine worshipping a god this EVIL…
Crusades Were Right says
Just a wild guess:
Before very long a campaign for their early release will begin – based on their becoming extremely “religious”.
We all know that only good things can come when people take their religion seriously, don’t we? (I mean, unless it’s Christianity, of course!)
; ¬)
Crusades Were Right says
Let’s hope the slave didn’t say anything bad about Muslims or Islam during her captivity…
…because although we all know that (Islamic) slavery is a bit naughty…
…ISLAMOPHOBIA IS A CRIME!
Right, Mr. Turkish Ambassador?

Martin says
The children knew for 16 years that they had a slave in the house and did nothing to help even as they grew into adulthood. They should also do a few years in prison and be deported. The house should be sold and all profit given as back wages to their slave girl along with their entire bank accounts. The whole family should be deported after serving their time behind bars and the slave girl should be allowed to stay in the USA so that she won’t be harmed by this powerful presidential family back in Guinea.
Mark Swan says
Martin, You make some good points here, let us hope
some hard nosed, well intended lawyer takes her case,
She certainly needs some remedy.

Scum bags low life – throw them in jail and throw away the keys, They should never see the light of the day, why are we flooding the 23West with these criminals – how is it enriching the culture of the country. These guys should never be allowed to leave their Muslim lands for the West.
na says
Every country Muslim solicitors are a major threat , they can make duplicate passport and visa to recruit slaves , illegal workers and refugees. Now a days campus recruitment for isis is also another threat. They offer good salary , which is above the salary of an MNC. Later they will give training how to make missile, rocket etc, physical exercise like boxing, judo… which is above the training of a soldier(Religious, scientific and military training). Some business tycoons from UK-IRANIAN, FRENCH-ARAB, Russian Muslim background support this activity.

What can this young (ex-slave) woman do with her life now after such abysmal, prolonged trauma ???
Disgusted !!!!

“When the girl’s mother learned the couple had arranged to bring her to the US in January 2000, she unsuccessfully attempted to hide the child.” What happened to the girl? She would have been 21 years old at the time of her release. Did she go home?
gravenimage says
She may have been given asylum in the US.
Lynne says
They stole this child’s innocence and childhood. They deserve everything that be thrown at them.
dumbledoresarmy says
Do they hold American citizenship? If they do it should be publicly stripped from them; because the US constitution expressly forbids the practice of slavery.
Publicly shame them, publicly strip them of citizenship, and kick their backsides back to Ghana – with a strong recommendation to *Ghana*, which is NOT a majority-Musilm country, to likewise strip them of *Ghanaian* citizenship and send them to some wholly-Islamic hellhole such as Mauritania.
abel garcia says
Will they be deported once sentence is over?
Jay says
Let’s see if they spend more than 6 months in prison.
