The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, the journalists who were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam — even though their conversions were obviously coerced, their captors made them say that they were converting freely, and the captors probably believed that themselves. After all, the journos could have chosen to be killed instead. Also, the couple believed they were doing the girls a favor by forcing them to practice Islam, and that they, the couple, would receive a reward from Allah for making the girls discard their Yazidi beliefs and practices.
An update on this story. “ISIS husband raped girls, 5 and 12, after supporting wife ‘put make up on one,'” by Liam Randall, Daily Star, July 13, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An ISIS couple who kept two young Yazidi girls as slaves and subjected them to years of rape and torture have been locked up. Twana HS and Asia RA were arrested by police in Germany back in April 2024.
They faced harrowing charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, according to Bild. Justice has now caught up with them. Twana HS has been handed a life sentence, while his wife Asia RA was given nine-and-a-half years behind bars.
The Iraqi couple operated within territory controlled by the bloodthirsty Islamic terror group in Iraq and Syria between 2015 and 2017, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office and the Higher Regional Court of Munich revealed.
During their reign of terror, the couple first enslaved a helpless five-year-old Yazidi girl, before later snatching a 12-year-old girl.
The two young victims were treated as their property and forced to do gruelling housework while being brainwashed with radical ISIS ideology.
The couple banned the girls from practicing their own faith, instead forcing them to follow Islam.
According to prosecutors, Twana HS repeatedly raped both children and his wife was fully complicit in the depraved abuse….

In Islam, there is compulsion in religion when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 commands, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Islamization, like Cultural Marxism, deceives, propagandizes, and virtue-signals against the enemies of Allah, the Non-Muslims, using Islamic Law DBA Islam, discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism through our Western Institutions with Muslim MONEY and Muslim LIVES as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 2:191; 3:54; 4:89, 91; 7:99; 8:30; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.).
Islam is the daily, Muslim practice of Islamic Law, and Allah commands Muslims to fight Allah’s enemies, the Non-Muslims, to establish Islamic Law, Sharia DBA Islam, using Islam’s genocidal animus against Non-Muslims so that Islam reigns supreme. Allah in Qur’an 9:28-29 commands, “O you who have believed, surely only the polytheists are unclean[dirty]… Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day[Non-Muslims]. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid[via Islamic Law], nor believe in the religion of the truth[Islam] among those who have given the book[Jews and Christians] until they pay the jizyah[Extortion Payment] out of hand and they are subdued[disgraced].”

This jihad watch article reveals that even in Germany a Muslim couple forced two Yazidi girls that they there held captive to practice Islam. There Is definitely There is wrong with a religion that has its followers feel the need to use concision as a method to made other people take part in the practice of it .
This action of a person being coerced into Islam has a long history.
Furthermore, about those two Yazidi girls being held slaves by those Muslims. This not an isolated incident. For example, those brutal, cruel and vile ISIS jihadist /Muslims kidnapping Yazidi a girls and women and using them as sex slaves. This actually started with the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, who all Muslims look to as an example of how to behave. It’s revealed in the book JESUS AND THE JIHADIS: CONFRONTING THE RAGE OF ISIS by the Christian authors Graig A. Evans and Jeremiah J. Johnson For on page 124 it informs the reader “Muhammad endorsed enslavement of all types…he endorsed sex-slavers as a gift form Allah , and enjoyed offering sex-slaves as gifts…” Further page 125 informs the reader that “Islam has enslaved more people than any other culture.” Likewise, on the topic of Islam and slavery, the former Muslim, Ibn Warraq in his book THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM on page 85 informs the reader with Islam “Slavery is recognized as an institution , and a slave is considered both a thing as a person.”

It had been exposed that “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” [1]
[1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel, pages 171,.
Walter Sieruk says
Of course those Muslims ,as those of ISIS, don’t really care , nevertheless, kidnapping someone and using that person as a slave is forbidden in the Bible , and It instructs in severe punishment for those who do it. Exodus 21:16.
abu taleb says
It is nor a rape, because they are halal as they are slaves. That is what Islam says.
It is common to find muslims claim that wives can not be raped because they are halal when the wives are actually raped by their husbands. So, these muslims implicitly say that slaves are not raped too when the slaves are actually raped.
But these muslims are correct according to Islam, as Quran never says about rape, only halal or not. That means, raping a wife is nor raping because she is halal, raping a slave is nor raping, because she (or he) is halal.
