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

Islamic State jihadis engaged in “temporary marriage” with non-Muslim sex slaves

Jul 19, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Temporary marriage or pleasure marriage, i.e. prostitution behind the hypocritical fig leaf of a “marriage” with a time limit, is an established Shi’ite concept that is also prevalent among some Sunnis. It has been practiced among Sunnis in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, although Sunnis ostensibly reject it.

Shi’ites justify temporary marriage, mutah, by their reading of Qur’an 4:24:

And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.

They see in this marriage as something contracted by means of payment (“give them their portions”) for a specified time by mutual agreement.

Also, the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or whom their right hands possess, for they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)

The rape of captive women is also sanctioned in Islamic tradition:

Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Sahih Muslim 3371)

It is also in Islamic law: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13)

The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that meant Muslims would take slaves. In a subsequent interview he elaborated:

Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels. Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars—there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.

When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Koran 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point—there is no disagreement from any of them. […] When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her.

Around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, also spoke out in favor of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and the parameters of Islamic morality.

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.”

Iraqi Ayatollah Al-Haeri said in April 7, 2016 that a man could offer slave girls to a friend for sex.

The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction.

“The truth about sex and Isil – from the ex-soldier who rescued 70 jihadi brides from its ‘giant brothel,'” by John Carney, Telegraph, July 14, 2019:

After a long day patrolling the Isis border with a Kalashnikov, what the young jihadi fighter looks forward to is getting back to the ‘women’s guesthouses’ for a shower and a one-night ‘pleasure marriage.’

If he happens to bring a loaf of bread or a bar of chocolate, skinny-ribbed girls will line up to be blessed by an imam before climbing into the bridal bed. The marriage will last a couple of hours and be annulled in the morning so the woman can be passed on to someone else.

This is just one of the many stories I heard from the 70 or so women, children and disaffected fighters I helped to rescue from the so-called Islamic State, over three years….

    Time for the fake news media to get the word out that Islam is not in the same league
    as any other religion. It can most closely be associated with prehistoric barbarity with rituals added.

      Jul 19, 2019 at 4:35 pm

      There’s that B word which the lame-stream media despises so much:

      “barbarity” !

      Terribly shocking that the “Me Too” movement and feminazis
      don’t clamor about all of this which is happening to women!!!

      It would be great if an out-spoken COUNTER-SQUAD
      developed against:

      Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
      Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.,
      Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.,
      and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.

      —————————————————

      That COUNTER-SQUAD could include:

      Ayaan “Heretic” Hirsi Ali
      Masih “Wind In My Hair” Alinejad
      Irshad “Trouble With Islam” Manji
      and Nonie “Wholly Different” Darwish

    Ah, yes … temporary marriage …so ‘respectful’ … it is the great contradiction of the claim that Islam ‘respects’ women. Temporary marriage treats women as legalized prostitutes.

    Some hadiths of Mohammed, Islam’s false prophet, that insult and degrade all women:

    – I think that women were created for nothing but evil
    – Women have ten ‘awrat (vulvas). When she gets married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten (of her shameful parts)
    – A straw mat in the corner of the house is preferable to a barren woman
    – Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’)
    – The woman is a toy, whoever takes her, let him care for her [or do not lose her]
    – Had it not been for women, God would have truly, truly been worshipped
    – Men perished the day they obeyed the women
    – Obedience to a woman’s advice causes regret
    – Consult women and act contrary (to it)
    – Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
    – I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women)
    – I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
    – Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse

    Islam’s primary source texts are clearly disrespectful. No doubt about it.

      Lol in Islam women are way smarter than males so they get used all the time. The religion is flawed males are too aggressive the wife’s keep husband in place so he doesnt do stupid shit

    Koran 4.23-24 specifically authorizes jihadis to rape married captives … Allah ‘decrees’ this type of rape for his jihadists.

    However, this sort of genocidal rape constitutes a war crime under UN Security Council Resolution 1820 which notes that “rape and other forms of sexual violence can constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity or a constitutive act with respect to genocide”.

    “And all MARRIED women are forbidden unto you SAVE those captives whom your right hand possess. It is a DECREE of Allah for you. (Muhammad Pickthall’s English translation of the Quran). – Koran 4.23-24)

    Clearly, the Koran cannot be the work of a deity if it authorizes war crimes.

    In the Dharmic Aryan religions the female, whether chronologically a girlchild, maiden, ingenue, wife, mother, or grandmother is regarded as being more intelligent and indeed superior to man. Yet Arya religion is true patriarchal. All religions connected to Sikhi r Aryan. Personally i have true admiration for Zarathustra. He is Great for Eternality and beyond. Dr. Spencer thank u for this website.
    Semitic creeds r matriarchal which creates shall we say the vicious cycle of wretched inbreeding.it is prophecied that from Iran to Indonesia will one day shed the shackles of mullaocracy. So mote it be. Inshallah, Arya GodBhagwan willing, mine dear friend says liberation from undesirable qualities of certain religions will be shed in about about three centuries time. Utube teacher Dr. Pillai instructs art and science of time compression, he states we r already belond year three thousand. I wish it would be Satya Yuga for everyone. In Satjug, girls and cows will be well treated. No exploitation or slavery: proper marriage. Only monagamous lifetime after bloody incarnational lifetime love marriage is true.
    Sincerely,

      Clarification
      Patriarchy of Aryan religions is a force for tremendous Good and fosters Compassion and inculcation of all virtues within oneself and the Environment benefits: clean pure air, pure waterways, fertile Earth. I like that Israel has greened the desert but ultimate ownership belongs to AryaGod.

        The idea that Islam is matriarchal is absurd. And I see that Prabh is babbling “Inshallah” again.

    Those brutal, cruel ISIS jihadist /Muslims kidnapping girls and women and using them as sex slaves. This actually started with the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad . Who all Muslims look to as an example of how to behave. It’s revealed in the book JESUS AND THE JIHADIS: CONFRONTING THE RAGE OF ISIS by the Christian authors Graig A. Evans and Jeremiah J. Johnson For on page 124 it informs the reader about Muhammad that that he “Mohammad endorsed enslavement of all types…” he endorsed sex-slavery as a gift from Allah, and enjoyed offering sex-slaves as gifts…” Further on the very next page it also exposes that “Islam has enslaved more people than any other culture.”

    The ISIS Muslim males with their “temporary marriages” are a lame cover for the heinous vile crime of rape. This Islamic farce of a “temporary marriage”which the girls are forced into shows again, the truth of the old saying .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.” This is really extreme misogyny and is most despicable and wicked. .

    Furthermore, this is related to what Brigitte Gabriel exposed in her book which is entitled “THEY MUST BE STOPPED for on page 717 it reads “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.” Further in that same book on page 182 in informs the reader that “Selling women and girls into prostitution is just dehumanizing complement to forcing women and girls to cover their bodies and hair with a veil.”

    Indeed, they must be stopped!

    Those ISIS jihadists with their forcing helpless girls into the Islamic hoax of a “temporary marriage “ to then literally rape them most despicable and an affront to all that is good decent and right.

    Still, there are some naive and uninformed people who might , understandably, when finding out about such heinous evil and 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 cruel , 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.

    On July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadists who compose ISIS.

    The ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so very filthy vile, lawless and vile that they kidnap girls and force into a “temporary marriage “ and then rape those girls as their sex slaves.
