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 for 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 the captives whom their right hands possess, for in their case 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.”
In January 2016, a female al-Azhar professor stated that Allah allowed Muslims to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them.
The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction. And that sanction must be discussed if anything effective is ever going to be done to end this abuse.
“Afghan refugee details Taliban fighters’ disturbing hunt for sex slaves,” by Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, August 24, 2021:
A woman who fled Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover has alleged that some of the militants are necrophiliacs — as she accused them of having sex with corpses.
The woman, who had worked for the police force in Afghanistan before fleeing to India, told News 18 that the brutal militants went door to door in search of sex slaves.
They either picked up women or shot them, she reportedly said.
“They rape dead bodies too. They don’t care whether the person is dead or alive … Can you imagine this?” said the woman, identified only as Muskan, according to India’s Northeastern Chronicle.
“When we were there, we received numerous warnings. If you go to work, you are under threat, your family is under threat. After one warning, they would stop giving any warning,” Muskan added.
The Afghan refugee claimed that the Taliban fighters rape women, and “don’t care whether the person is dead or alive.”…
Former Afghan judge Najla Ayoubi told Sky News that she has been speaking to women in Afghanistan who described “bad behavior and violence against women.”…

On the topic of Islam and slavery, the former Muslim, Ibn Warraq in his book THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM om page 85 informs the reader with Islam “Slavery is recognized as an institution , and a slave is considered both a thing as a person.”
Likewise, it’s also been revealed that “Islam has enslaved more people than any other culture.”

Walter Sieruk says
In the history of Islam and now, as in current times, some of the many females, both girls and young women have been kidnapped and uses as sex-slaves for Muslim man.
In addition, a former Muslim in his book had revealed that “Slavery is recognized as an institution, and the slave is considered both a person and a thing.” [1]
Furthermore, another scholar on Islam is uses to live in one of those Middle Eastern countries but is now an American had in her book exposed that ”Female freedom and independence is one of the greatest sins in Islam and one of devout Muslim purists’ greatest justifications for terrorism against Western societies.” [2]

why is anybody surprised by this? the taliban are merely fundamentalist muslims, who live their lives by answering the question, “what would muhammed do?”
it was at first astounding to me that nobody – on *ANY* side – seemed to know *anything* about islam’s treatment of captives of war, or of its extension of those practices to its hijrah to non-islamic nations. how was it possible that *nobody* on the left even acknowledged that these were the beliefs of islam?
well, i finally concluded that there are those on the left who know islam is vile, and there are those on the left who do not. the majority are trained to be nominal leftists in public indoctrination centers (public “schools” and “universities”); they absorb the attitudes of the left, but are untrained in critical thinking, and therefore turn to the “Smart People” (their former “teachers”) to learn what to think and do about anything they don’t immediately understand. the “Smart People” are fascists and marxists, and tell the nominal leftists reassuring lies, in this case that islam is just another stupid religion – pap for the masses – and that there is no reason to examine it. social media and the legacy media dutifully repeat the lies interminably, reinforcing the idea in the nominal leftist’s mind.
this begs the question: why do the fascists and marxists tell these lies? the only answer possible is that because they cannot win power at the ballot box (except after a *decades-long* “march through the institutions”), they want to destroy society so that they can seize absolute power. they shame a society based on judeo-christian values into importing large numbers of refugees, bypassing nearby muslim-majority countries, so that the approximately 10% of muslims in *any* group of muslims will also be brought in; this shaming provides political cover for the pious 10%, who will deliberately attack the host society, without support, and without even making contact with the hard-core left, leaving them free of blame for the damage done. in essence, the imported ummah is the proxy army for the hard-core left, and the hard-core left lies by saying that all muslims are peaceful, because islam is peaceful.

Afghan refugee in India says Taliban going door to door searching for sex slaves
…………….
And yet insanely a lot of fools in the west still want to believe that the bloody Taliban is reasonable…
OLD GUY says
Thats one thing the Muslim/islamic man truly understands sex slaves and rape blessed by god. Their idea of civilization is slightly different from the west who believe in the protection of women and girls and equal rights. Islam civilization is still operating in the caveman era.
