Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Syrian female refugees on sale on Facebook; women sold in mosques

By

“Among the announcements was one publicizing ‘refugee girls of all ages and religious confessions’ to satisfy all applications from Sunnis, Shiites and Christians in a climate of growing religious polarization.” While Christians may be among the buyers, this practice has justification in Islam: there is the allowance of sex slavery (the “captives of the right […]

Iranian Parliament Adviser: Boko Haram’s behavior not related to Islam

By

Here yet again we see a Muslim spokesman assert that Boko Haram’s behavior is un-Islamic. He doesn’t explain why it is that Boko Haram (the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad) maintains that everything that it does is for the defense and propagation of Islam — how did they come […]

Time Mag says Boko Haram un-Islamic, ignores Qur’an verses on sex slavery

By

Here is yet another article (remarkably poorly edited for a major magazine) purporting to show that Boko Haram is violating the teachings of Islam, while ignoring the passages of the Qur’an and Hadith that Boko Haram uses to justify its actions. The problem with such pieces is that they do nothing to refute the jihadist […]

Muslim leader claims Muhammad would reject Boko Haram, doesn’t mention that he approved abduction and enslavement of women

By

The only way that future abductions and enslavements can be prevented is by confronting their Islamic justification, and working for reform. So why would a putative “moderate” like Qasim Rashid want to obscure the Islamic justifications for the abduction of Infidel girls, instead of confronting them and refuting the jihadist interpretations of the Qur’an and […]

Muslim cleric: “Islam allows a man to have intercourse with his slave woman”

By

While various heads of state as well as numerous Muslim leaders rush to assure us that the abduction of the schoolgirls in Nigeria has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, some Muslim clerics disagree. Here is a fatwa on the issue from Islam Q & A. Islamic scholars, clerics and spokesmen who insist that what […]

US Muslim prof says Boko Haram violates Qur’an — but omits sex-slavery verses

By

Arsalan Iftikhar is “an international human rights lawyer, founder of TheMuslimGuy.com and adjunct professor of religious studies at DePaul University in Chicago.” He is also the former National Legal Director of the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Here he offers a reassuring piece claiming that Boko Haram, that is, the Congregation of the […]

Nigerian jihad leader: “There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell.”

By

Here is the video referred to in this post. Note that while Abubakar Shekau is gleefully and fiendishly celebrating his abducting of the Nigerian schoolgirls, he continually refers to Islam to justify his deeds. His nervous motions are jarring. Does he still have a conscience somewhere in there, and realizes just how evil what he […]

Nigerian jihad leader: “I abducted your girls. I will sell them on the market, by Allah.”

By

Abubakar Shekau gleefully taunts the mothers of the girls he abducted, knowing that what he has done in abducting them has clear Qur’anic sanction: the Qur’an allows a man to have sex with the “captives of the right hand” (4:3), which has traditionally been understood as slave girls. The large number of girls abducted in […]

Abducted Nigerian schoolgirls auctioned off to Boko Haram jihadis for $12.45 each

By

Two thousand Nigerian naira equals $12.45 US dollars. This articles is a bit unclear, as it says that the jihadis bid on the girls, but also states that this amount was a “dowry” that was paid to the captors of the girls. Possibly the twelve bucks and change was an average price. In any case, […]
