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.

Just a truthful islamophile. He is only repeating what Islam has preached for over 1400 years.

Look up the history of castration of (usually black)slaves in Islamic societies if you want to get sick and throw up.

Students should be reading books like “Out of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa” by Keith B. Richburg. After his visit to Africa, just after the Rawanda wars, he concluded that he was fortunate that his African ancestors were sent west to America and not sent east to the Middle East. Interesting read.

>> muslimes had no revelation and do not discriminate between combatants and the innocent.

Islam is a war plan.
