From Prince Naif: We are Yazidi, a religious minority living peacefully in northern Iraq. We have been subjected to 74 genocides since the time of the Ottoman rule in Iraq and continues to this day. The most recent genocide happened (August 3, 2014) when the elements of the Kurdistan Regional Government withdrew its forces from […]
1,037 Syrian refugees admitted in May: Two Christians, 1,035 Muslims
This isn’t humanitarian aid, this is social engineering. Hundreds of thousands of Christians were displaced by the Islamic State and other jihad groups. But apparently they have no refuge in the United States during the reign of Barack Obama. “1,037 Syrian Refugees Admitted in May: Two Christians, 1,035 Muslims,” by Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, June […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Yazidi Girl Exposes ISIS Rape Hellhole
[Gatestone Institute, May 12, 2016] A new televised interview, conducted in Arabic with a Yazidi girl who endured sexual captivity at the hands of the Islamic State, was published on March 22, 2016. It appeared on “Shabaab [Youth] Talk,” hosted by Ja’far Abdul. The teenage girl, who went by the pseudonym of Birvan, was enslaved when […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: “Raping me is his prayer to God. It’s allowed. It’s halal.”
“According to an obscure ruling in Islamic law, cited by the Islamic State, a man must ensure that the woman he enslaves is free of child before having intercourse with her.” — from this New York Times article, March 12, 2016 Possibly the most horrifying of the Islamic State’s practices has been the systematic sexual […]
Yazidi slave’s life spared by Islamic State because he didn’t have armpit hair, in imitation of Muhammad’s example
This one is straight from our The-Islamic-State-Is-Not-Islamic file. When Muhammad approved the judgment to massacre the Jewish Qurayzah tribe, his companions (that is, his closest followers) made the decision of whom to kill based on body hair: “Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayza. They (the Companions) examined us, and those […]
Robert Spencer, PJ Media: Islamic texts justify sex slavery
Over at PJ Media today I discuss the justifications for sex slavery that are unfortunately found in Islamic texts: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God. … He said that raping me is his prayer to […]
“He said that raping me is his prayer to God”
“He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God…He said that raping me is his prayer to God.” This is reminiscent of Hamas’ statement, “Killing Jews is worship that draws us closer to God.” Raping girls and killing […]
Islamic State murders 19 girls for refusing sex with jihadis, peddles sex slaves like “barrels of petrol”
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 unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and […]
Islamic State forces Yezidi boys to convert to Islam, sends them into battle
Everyone knows that what the Islamic State does is egregious and unique and has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, but those who are willing to allow their balloon to land may be interested to know that there is precedent even for this in the history of the caliphate. The last caliphate, the Ottoman Empire, […]
Yazidi women bought back from Islamic State after being raped in public and sold to jihadis
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 unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of […]
Islamic State jihadis complain that “the Syrians do not know anything of the Islamic religion”
DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson just said that to call the Islamic State Islamic would be “dignifying them as occupying some form of Islam.” And so here we see the cognitive dissonance clearly: the Islamic State is impatient with Syrians whom they claim know nothing about Islam, and non-Muslim authorities in the West (and Muslim authorities […]
