Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown justifies slavery and the rape of female slaves

A professor at Georgetown University is teaching his students that men do not need consent to have sex with women, and that slavery is justifiable under Islamic teachings.

Islamic Studies professor Jonathan Brown recently lectured at the International Institute of Islamic Thought, where he shared his alarming beliefs with students in attendance in his lecture, “Islam and the Problem of Slavery.” Freelance writer Umar Lee expressed his shock over the 90-minute lecture, which included explicit endorsements of rape and slavery.

Brown himself uploaded the lecture to YouTube.

According to Lee, Brown’s lecture was supposed to revolve around slavery in Islam, but the lecturer moved its focus to criticize the United States, United Kingdom and China. Brown described slavery in these non-Muslim societies as brutal, which they were, but lauded the historically inhumane practice in Arab lands and Turkey.

“Indeed, according to Brown, slaves in the Muslim world lived a pretty good life,” wrote Lee. “I thought the Muslim community was done with this dishonest North Korean style of propaganda. Obviously not.”…

The Islamic Studies professor said that in Muslim societies, “slavery wasn’t racialized,” unlike the United States. Lee points out that this is untrue, given that in the Arab world, black people are referred to as “abeed,” the Arab word for “slave.”Brown stated that slaves were “protected by Sharia,” omitting the various atrocities committed by slave-owners. Girls and women were forced into the sex trade and their male counterparts were often castrated.

I’m listening to this as I’m writing. It’s very low in volume. He’s now talking about children owning toys - which shows you the level of intellectual vigor.

Had Prof. Brown’s words been spoken by a practicing member of any other religion, they would’ve lost their jobs and shunned out of the academic world.

Money makes the world go around.

Our universities are being bought by Arab billionaires.

While our Federal Government is financing these universities with our tax dollars Saudi oil wealth is buying the administrators and factuality of these institutes of higher learning and they are indoctrinating our youth to accept this satanic religion as valid and honorable.

It is time to outlaw this religion and cut ties to the Arab oil states.

It is not a belief. It is taught and authorized in the koran.

Ah words of true freedom for females that they can find in Islam from the bastion of female repressing and oppressing Catholicism of Georgetown University.

(hopefully sarcastic)

During the late 19th Century, practically all the nations of the world joined in two great conventions; one ending slavery and the other providing for the honorable treatment of POWs of signatories and the humane treatment of other POWs and of civilians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_Conference_Act_of_1890

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Conventions_of_1899_and_1907

Whatever moral codes, customs or practices existed before these conventions, the enslavement or other less than human treatment of POWs and of civilians is today utterly indefensible.

To address the times prior to these conventions, I’ll just say a few things:

1. Almost all moral codes, as far back as the Code of Hammurabi, prohibited the sale of one’s fellow countrymen to foreigners. We who follow Jesus, consider all to be our brothers who act like our brothers (and, furthermore, are wiling to take the first step in establishing a relation of brotherhood). So, we have been anxious for the day when all of mankind could join together as brothers, which isn’t to say that we have to be naive about this.

2. Sale of debtors in default into slavery (or a limited form of slavery) has been mostly replaced by bankruptcy. Lenders should consider themselves forewarned. They share in the risk of repayment.

3. Sale of criminals into slavery (or a limited form of slavery) has been restrained by limitations on punishment. We, for example, prohibit “cruel and unusual” punishment. I think the Christian standard is that punishment should be “in proportional to” to crime.

4. Sale of POWs into slavery, or executing them is now banned, although formerly allowed. Even the soldiers of non-signatory nations are to be treated humanely, and those of signatory nations are to be treated honorably.

5. Kidnapping individuals, as raiders did, including Viking and Arab raiders, to ransom them or to make slaves of them WAS ALWAYS MORALLY WRONG. Those who engage in such actions, being totally outside the law, are subject to summary execution. If the Quran authorizes the kidnapping of people to enslave them, it is a proof that the Quran is not revealed from God. Indeed, anybody who says that God authorizes this is a blasphemer. He diminishes God. Jesus says anyone who falsely teaches in the name of God will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.

6. There was a temptation, prior to the conventions of the late 19th Century, to start a war in order to enslave others as well as take their land and other possessions. Therefore, while enslavement was allowed under certain circumstances, we can suspect that there was abuse.

Reference my responses 13 and 14. You are correct.I can’t even tell what when I re read it. I will check if the moderator will be kind enough to remove both of them.

In 1994, I attended a State Department school in DC (Area of Intense Regional Studies).

State Dept instructors made a specific effort to tell us that Africans would celebrate when captured by Arabs because Arabs would “adopt” them, educate them, make them teachers and doctors, and also make them part of the family.

The nonsense of this “professor” is nothing new.

St Thomas Aquinas had a tremedous impact on Western conduct of war; to try and mitigate the suffering of the innocent. . .muslimes had no revelation and do not discriminate between combatants and the innocent.
