Sex slavery and the Islamic State : Comments

By Mark Durie, published 3/7/2015

In the fourth edition of its magazine Dabiq IS aggressively promoted sex slavery as an Islamic practice, arguing that the practice conforms to the teaching and example of Muhammad and his companions.

All religion is foolish...

The problem you have is you want to attach anything bad these nuts do to their religion, but if a Christian group does some thing bad then it's got nothing to do with their Christian beliefs. Its a double standard tat everyone except the religious sees.

Anything and everything is permissible under most religions, it's all in the interpreting of the text.

there was a time that most if not all Christians thought working on Sundays was a mortal sin punishable by death.

No IS has got nothing and everything to do with Islam, it's their Islam but it isn't the Islam of the chap that lives down the road from me

What absolute crap Cobber.

If a army of thugs waving Christian banners and spouting slogans from the Bible, threatened to kill all non-Christians, took over half a country, I'm sure they would be called extremist Christian terrorists.

The only group threatening world peace happens to be adherents of the Islamic faith. Islam is not the religion of peace politicians are pretending it is, in order to not incite other Muslims.

ISIS has everything to do with Islam! But not all Muslims follow the extreme beliefs practiced by ISIS.

Accept it mate, there is a serious worldwide problem being caused by Islamic extremists and its going to get a whole lot worse, before it gets better (if it ever gets better). It may take 100 years but Islam will be the dominate world religion and population - then see what happens.

Doesn't affect the advancement of Western middle/upper class women's quotas so rates very low among feminist.

"arguing that the practice conforms to the teaching and example of Muhammad and his companions."

Good ole Muhammad. He's such an example to us all, isn't he?

'for Muslims to enslave their captives was "a more humane and proper way of disposing of them"' ... " their descendants produced great scholars, imams, jurists, commentators, statesmen and generals of the army."

Slavery is more humane and proper because you can breed good citizens out of them. Good one.

No wonder the leftists can't bring themselves to criticise it.

"this verse of the Qur'an was revealed to Muhammad at a time when Muslims had been 'refraining' from having sex with their married female captives."

Very continent chap.

"Verse 4:24 relieved them of this restraint by giving them permission to have sex with captive women even if the women were already married."

Aaah. Good ole God. He always comes through in the end, doesn't he?

"During the course of the interview Senator Bernardi linked the Islamic State with Muhammad's example, to which the interviewer wrote "Kaboom!", and called the comment a 'hand grenade', 'inflamatory' and 'divisive'."

Good luck with encouraging critical thinking or intellectual honesty from the left wing. It's not exactly their strong point.

"comparative theology"

LOL

Cobber,

"there was a time that most if not all Christians thought working on Sundays was a mortal sin punishable by death."

That is actually quite surprising.

>>No wonder the leftists can't bring themselves to criticise it.<<

Given that Daesh/IS/whaddyecallit is the closest the world presently has by way of an exemplar of right-wing thinking, it should be the easiest possible target for proponents of an inclusive democracy.

Total control over a populace through the medium of religion was the operating system of Christianity for over sixteen hundred years, and is still today the favoured mechanism of so many of the conservatively-inclined.

The similarities between Christianity and Daesh/IS/whaddyecallit are too obvious to be a coincidence.

The desire of an elite male cabal to control relationships between people, to control female reproduction, to excoriate homosexuality, to subjugate women to second-class status etc. etc. - are all highly familiar. On display in fact, every day, in our present government.

And all in the name of a non-existent being.

Sad.
