Israeli hostage told Hamas jihadi who was sexually abusing him ‘This is forbidden in Islam’

A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

However, the kind of behavior that Guy Gilboa Dalal’s captor engages in here is widely tolerated in many Islamic societies. As long as one gets married and has children, one can hold to the principle that “Men are for pleasure, women are for babies.”

This is based in part on the Qur’an’s vision of immortal boys in paradise:

“Those are the ones who will be brought near in gardens of delight, a multitude of those of old and a few of those of later times. On lined couches, reclining on them face to face. Immortal boys wait on them with bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring.” (Qur’an 56:11-18)

“There they are watered with a cup of which the mixture is of ginger, a spring in it, named Salsabil. There wait on them immortal youths, whom, when you see them, you would take them for scattered pearls. When you look, you will see bliss and high estate there.” (Qur’an 76:17-20)

Then there is the hadith that has newly become notorious among the YouTube crowd. The understanding they place upon it comes from the meaning of the word yarkaboun, they “started riding” on Muhammad. Some claim this is not meant literally, but only so as to say that they crowded around him as he preached. However, the tolerance of male homosexuality in Islam makes it at very least possible that the literal meaning is meant.

The Messenger of Allah followed me and said, “So we set off until I reached a certain place, and he drew a line for me and told me to stay within it. He said, ‘Do not leave this area, for if you do, you will perish.’ So I stayed within it. Then the Messenger of Allah went away for a while, or seemingly went far away.

Then he returned and mentioned Haneen, as if they were locusts. (Affan said, or as Affan said if Allah wills), they had no clothes on, and I did not see their private parts at all. They had very little flesh. Then they came and started riding on the Messenger of Allah. Prophet of Allah began reciting to them. They came to me and it seemed as if they were flooding around me and attempting to interpose themselves. Abdullah said, “I was terrified of them more severely than I was the first time.” A’rif said in his narration, “Then he sat down or as he said.” Then when the dawn broke, they left, or as he said. Then indeed the Messenger of Allah returned very weary and exhausted, or almost exhausted due to what he had ridden. He said, “I feel heavy, or as he said.” So the Messenger of Allah rested his head on me, or as he said. Then the Haneen came to them wearing long white clothes, or as he said. Then the Messenger of Allah fell into a trance.” Abdullah said, “I was terrified of them more severely than the first time.” A’rim said in his narration, or as they said, “Some of them said to others, ‘Indeed, this servant has received something good,’ or as they said, ‘His eyes are sleeping, or he said his eye, and his heart is awake.’ Then A’rim said, “Some of them said to others, ‘Come, let us strike a similitude for him,’ or as they said, ‘Let us strike a similitude for him and let us interpret it ourselves, or you interpret and we will interpret and you interpret, or as they said.’ Then some of them said to others, ‘His similitude is like the similitude of a master who built a strong edifice and then sent food to the people. So whoever did not come to his food, or he said whoever did not follow him, he would severely punish him, or as they said.’ Others said, ‘As for the master, he is the Lord of the Worlds, and as for the edifice, it is Islam, and the food is Paradise, and he is the inviter. So whoever follows him will be in Paradise,’ A’rim said in his narration, or as they said. ‘And whoever does not follow him will be punished severely,’ or as they said.

Then the Messenger of Allah awoke and said, ‘What have you seen, O son of Umm ‘Abd?’ ‘Abdullah said, ‘I saw such and such.’ The Prophet said, ‘There is nothing they said that is hidden from me.’ The Prophet said, ‘They are a group of angels, or he said they are from the angels, or as Allah wills.'” (Musnad Ahmad 3788)

Guy Gilboa Dalal, however, who is not a Muslim, presumes to know more about Islam than his Hamas captor. It’s a common assumption in the West. Some years ago, a non-Muslim British judge lectured the men who beheaded Drummer Lee Rigby on a London street about how they were misunderstanding Islam. They started yelling back at him about how they understood it just fine, and it was he who was misunderstanding it. And that judge was not the only non-Muslim in the West who was utterly confident and complacent in his ignorance.

“Guy Gilboa Dalal reveals sexual assault in Hamas captivity,” Israel Hayom, November 22, 2025:

In a courageous interview broadcast Saturday evening on Israeli Channel 12 News, former hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal exposed the severe sexual abuse he endured at the hands of the Hamas terrorist organization.

“The terrorists guarding me were mentally unstable. They could be fine for a while and then suddenly become extremely cruel. One of them asked me: You want to film a porn movie? He started touching me, kissing my back, my neck and my throat. He told me he loved me. It was extremely uncomfortable. At some point his hand stopped on my chest. My heart was pounding. He asked: ‘Are you scared?'”

“He took me aside and threatened that if I ever told anyone he would kill me. In another incident he took me, pulled down his pants. I told him: ‘This is forbidden in Islam.’ He rubbed his genitals against my rectum for several minutes.”…
