ISIS states its justification for the enslavement of women
2014-10-14
[EDITION.CNN] In a new publication, ISIS justifies its kidnapping of women as sex slaves citing Islamic theology, an interpretation that is rejected by the Moslem world on the lam as a perversion of Islam.

"One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffar -- the infidels -- and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, or Islamic law," the group says in an online magazine published Sunday.

The title of the article sums up the ISIS point of view: "The revival (of) slavery before the Hour," referring to Judgment Day.

The fourth edition of the group's English-language digital magazine called "Dabiq" said that female members of the Yazidi sect, an ethnically Kurdish minority living mostly in Iraq, may legitimately be captured and forcibly made concubines or sexual slaves.

The rationalization for a return to slavery -- repudiated around the world -- coincided with the release of a Human Rights Watch
... During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, HRW received a pledge from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, of which George Soros is Chairman, for general support totaling $100,000,000. The grant is being paid in installments of $10,000,000 over ten years.Through June 30, 2013, HRW had received $30,000,000 towards the fulfillment of the pledge....
report on crimes committed by ISIS against the Yazidis in Iraq based on interviews with 76 displaced people in Dohuk.

"The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
's litany of horrific crimes against the Yazidis in Iraq only keeps growing," said Fred Abrahams, special adviser at Human Rights Watch. "We heard shocking stories of forced religious conversions, forced marriage, and even sexual assault and slavery -- and some of the victims were children."

#8  Saudi Arabia is certainly "Islamic" so as a point of comparison take a look at Veiled Atrocities: True Stories of Oppression in Saudi Arabia

"In Veiled Atrocities, Sami Alrabaa gives us an extraordinarily effective way of understanding the crimes committed by the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia. Each heart-wrenching short story Alrabaa shares with us conveys, like few authors have been able to do, the ongoing humanitarian crisis of oppression in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Readers of Veiled Atrocities will finally begin to understand the human dimension and consequences of what radical Islamists have done in the name of Islam and continue to do to women, minorities, reformers and all those with the courage to take on the horrific oppression. Radical Islamists, police and monarchs are suffocating the Saudi population."
—M. Zuhdi Jasser, MD, founder & president,
American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD)

By branding ISIL as "un-islamic" the donks seem to have forgotten a truism in American politics;

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

#7  Wait a minute lord garth, why would a non-Islamic group like ISIS use the Koran to justify their actions?

That sounds like a Hindu group quoting the Bible for justification....this doesn't compute.

Or, is ISIS really Islamic after all??

#6  Should have seen the jaw drop on that reporter when he interviewed anjam chodey when he stated that western reporters are not special snowflakes, but instead spys and propagandists which makes them legitimate military targets.

This edition of IS Squire also goes on to talk a little smack on the guys Obama wants to arm - remember to salt as it is also intended as propaganda, sow some doubt, recruitment and retention, and maybe even cover for a storefront.

#5  Baby steps, LG. CNN isn't used to simply reporting the facts. It's painful for them, the poor dears, to admit (in their heart of hearts -- not out loud) that all their little hobby horses are riddled with termites. In the past, CNN may well have ignored this story altogether.

#4  notwithstanding CNN's denialism, slavery exists in many parts of the Islamic world; in several north African countries, it exists with the explicit sanction of Islamic law; it other countries (Islamic and non Islamic) it exists as a privilege of the ruling class

The ISIS uses the Koran verse 4:24 as its basis for the policy of using sex slaves. CNN could have easily cited this verse but went PC.
