One of the most heinous of the endless war crimes of the Islamic State has been the systematic rape of thousands of young girls and women - who are sold as sex slaves.
Most of the victims come from the Yazidi religious minority, labeled nonbelievers by ISIS. They were captured when ISIS invaded northern Iraq last year and wiped out their communities.
But one of the sex slaves was a fresh-faced blond American, a 25-year-old aid worker who was captured in Syria in August 2013. Kayla Mueller was chained in a room and raped for months by the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...
What astonishes me is the paucity of global outrage at the buying and selling of sex slaves - not to mention U.S. outrage at the enslavement of Mueller. American women organized to protest the Taliban's repression of women but not ISIS atrocities that make the Taliban's war crimes look mild in comparison. How can this be?
It's not because ISIS's slave trade isn't heinous or heartbreaking. The New York Times' Rukmini Callimachi recently documented ISIS's revival of slavery as an institution, with a bureaucracy of warehouses and viewing rooms where Yazidi girls are auctioned as chattel.
ISIS has compiled Quranic scripture that sanctions slavery and sexual assault on nonbelievers (Callimachi interviews a 12-year-old escapee who recalls how her rapist prayed before and after he defiled her).
...
As for the broader public, why no outcry?
...
Obama's policies for fighting ISIS are so inept and contradictory they have helped the .. caliphate to sink ever-deeper territorial roots. The White House still doesn't seem to recognize the long-term security threat the group poses to the U.S. homeland

The Left envies ISIS - in this and many other things.
Beheadings, genocide, sex slavery.
It’s the religion of peace so who cares.
It’s okay by our evil president. He’s busy golfing, naming a mountain, and worrying about climate change.
How many days until Trump is POTUS?
Kayla Mueller was a true believer.
Writing how resistance rings from the minarets 5 times a day.
While her treatment was criminal, heinous, and reprehensible...
It is not the same as a 13 year old girl ripped from her home, forced to watch her father executed, and then traded like chattel among diseased perverted subhuman jihadis.
SAT analogy question (obvious answer):
Rape is to ISIS as Abortion is to ___________
” with a bureaucracy of warehouses and viewing rooms where Yazidi girls are auctioned as chattel.”
Which has been the script of endless thriller films.
Remember the Crusades. Stop engaging in islamophobia/s
DAmn why Am I not shocked?..
“...why no outcry?”
Because there’s not opportunity to bash the traditional Western way of life: Christianity, Democracy, Capitalism.
True.
That’s because the left is all about deviant sex...
I’ve heard the joke that the only freedom liberals support is sexual. But now I wonder if even that is true.
When it is a fight between multiculturalism and feminism, now we know - multiculturalism wins, feminism be */?!
Muslims raping religious minority girls abroad seems like “their culture” and ignored, or ignored in the hope it doesn’t spread.
Feminists should be very afraid to import foreigners like the Muslim and African refugees who see women as less than livestock, because the liberals are going to sacrifice them on the alter of multiculturalism like the 1400+ girls raped by Rottherham Pakistani muslims and ignored by the state.
By tolerating multiculturalism, feminists ARE tolerating rape culture’s existence and spread - but it isn’t from the West’s cultural conservatives they seem to fear most.
