An Islamic State fighter acquires a bride (or a slave?) in Mosul, Iraq, Summer 20141
In September 2014, several Muslim men had the following discussion on Facebook:
“Abou Jihad: “350 dollars for the Yazidi girl in Mosul if you want. LOL
[…]
Abu Selefie: I heard there were slaves in Raqqa is it true?
Abde-Rahman: I saw it was around 180 dollars per slave LOL.
Abou Muhammad: You have revived a tradition.”2
“Abou Jihad” is a French Islamic State (or ISIL or ISIS) fighter in Syria who is one of the main disseminators of IS materials in French. He is stating openly what mainstream Western media outlets, the United Nations, and the Islamic State itself have now confirmed, namely, that the Islamic State is practicing the sexual enslavement of Yazidi and other non-Muslim women and girls.3 Abou Muhammad demonstrates his knowledge of Islamic history and law by accurately observing that in permitting these practices, the Islamic State has “revived a tradition.” Classical Islamic law, based on both the Koran and the example and teaching of Muhammad (c. 570-632), does indeed condone the sexual enslavement of non-Muslim women taken as captives in jihad.
To understand the tradition that is being revived in Iraq and Syria, let us begin with the Koran and then turn to the traditional Islamic sources on the life of Muhammad.
Update:
The picture above is out of context. Here is where it originated:
A Facebook post by Dr. Sabah Tamimi, a member of Baghdad Provincial Capital and Professor at Faculty of Sciences at Baghdad University, told of a story reportedly that a
“Saudi Wahhabi forced a 9 year old Christian girl to marry him recently.”
However some points regarding this claim
1. the male pictured is called Abu Waqqas,
a soldier of the Islamic State, who regularly gives dawa’h,
meaning calls people to Islam to strengthen their faith.
2. Abu Waqqas is a Tunisian by origin
3. The child is a Shaami girl. She is a Muslim and in this picture , she actually felt shy while reciting verses from the Quran, and so she began to cry. Abu Waqqas was hugging and consoling the child.
She was in an E’tisam, a media outlet of the Islamic State, video from 2013, and this is a screenshot fro the same video.
Here is the original clip (thanks to Marie)
