The Rape Jihad
FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | 9/24/04 | Robert Spencer

“Each of us was raped by between three and six men….One woman refused to have sex with them, so they split her head into pieces with an axe in front of us.”

 

This happened in Darfur, from which Sudanese military personnel actually airlifted women to Khartoum to serve as sex slaves.

 

Meanwhile, Indira Dzetskelova, the mother of one of the child hostages in Beslan, Russia, reports that “several 15-year-old girls were raped by terrorists.” Her daughter “heard their terrible cries and screams when those monsters took them away.”

 

This indicates that there are two things the massacre in Beslan have in common with the ongoing massacres in Darfur: both, no less than the 9/11 attacks, are examples of Islamic jihad terrorism, and both are characterized by rape.

 

The jihadist element has been made clear by the ringleaders of both atrocities. Sudanese General Mohamed Beshir Suleiman recently declared: “The door of the jihad is still open and if it has been closed in the south it will be opened in Darfur.” In southern Sudan, of course, the jihad was waged against Christians; in Darfur, the targets are black African Muslims whose Islamic bona fides don’t satisfy Khartoum. As for Beslan, the Chechen jihadist leader Shamil Besayev warned the Russian government last winter: “Praise Allah, we are dreaming of dying in jihad, we are dreaming of dying on the way of Allah, so that we could earn paradise and mercy of Allah.”

 

What does rape, then, have to do with these religious conflicts? Unfortunately, everything. The Islamic legal manual ‘Umdat al-Salik, which carries the endorsement of Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, stipulates: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” Why? So that they are free to become the concubines of their captors. The Qur’an permits Muslim men to have intercourse with their wives and their slave girls: “Forbidden to you are ... married women, except those whom you own as slaves” (Sura 4:23-24).

 

After one successful battle, Muhammad tells his men, “Go and take any slave girl.” He took one for himself also. After the notorious massacre of the Jewish Qurayzah tribe, he did it again. According to his earliest biographer, Ibn Ishaq, Muhammad “went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for [the men of Banu Qurayza] and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches.” After killing “600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900,” the Prophet of Islam took one of the widows he had just made, Rayhana bint Amr, as another concubine.

Emerging victorious in another battle, according to a generally accepted Islamic tradition, Muhammad’s men present him with an ethical question: “We took women captives, and we wanted to do ‘azl [coitus interruptus] with them.” Muhammad told them: “It is better that you should not do it, for Allah has written whom He is going to create till the Day of Resurrection.’” When Muhammad says “it is better that you should not do it,” he’s referring to coitus interruptus, not to raping their captives. He takes that for granted.

With Muhammad revered throughout the Islamic world as al-insan al-kamil, the perfect man, the rapes of Darfur and Beslan are nothing surprising. What is surprising, or ought to be, is the silence from the Islamic world about the rapes in both cases. Where are the reformers who will dare to say that Muhammad’s example must not be followed in this case? Who will acknowledge that the world has developed principles of human rights that must supercede those forged in seventh-century Arabia? Where are the Western spokesmen who are not so in thrall to multiculturalism that they will condemn rape that is justified according to Islamic religious principles? The much-lionized “Muslim Martin Luther,” Tariq Ramadan, now banned from entering the U.S., can so far only bring himself to call for a moratorium, not a definitive ban, on stoning for adulterers. Rape of captives? His sentiments are not known. Where is the Muslim Solzhenitsyn, who will speak honestly about the aspects of Islam that so desperately need reform, and call for the overhaul that the system so obviously needs?The whole world is waiting. But for the girls and women of Darfur and Beslan, it is already too late.

Behold the Religion of Peace, folks. These are the monsters the Democrats and Liberals across the world -- particularly those in the United Nations -- actively defend!

Why we continue to put up with this horse manure is beyond me.

Rapes are epidemic by muslim males, of Danish and Norwegian women and girls.

Since they (victims) aren't muslims, it is of no matter, under this so called religion.

If you aren't a muslim, to a muslim you aren't entitled to what we consider normal rules of society.

I'm glad to learn the woman in Iran won her court case, for her husband to only beat her once a week.

at some point , and hopefully soon , many nations in Europe
like Denmark and Norway will wake up and begin to throw out these scurrilous people from their lands. They have given them sanctuary and asylum and this is their gratitude?
The immigration of moslems is a scourge to the rest of the world , we need to turn this tide dramatically very soon.
Let moslems stay in their own homelands and fly on their own national carriers . If they behave there we will help them , if not they can enjoy the fate of their own making.

There is no difference between the Nazi view of Jews and the Muslim view of non-muslims.

I don't know why this cult of death is allowed to spew it's hatred on this soil. It should be banned, and every Mosk and koran burned, not only here, but throughout the planet. I guess Europe, now well into dhimmitude, with figue out their mistake after it's too late. I just hope our politicians are paying attention, because the same thing is happening here.

The sooner the world is rid of these vermin, the better off it will be. I have constantly said here that Islam is the 'religion' of Satan.

What I want is for a Democrat to look into the eyes of any of these women and fail to understand that it could be their wife, daughter or sister. How can they fail to grasp that concept?

And, yet, they will defend to the death the Muslim's right to murder, rape, torture, suppress, oppress and enslave innocent people.

Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick . . . . . . it's just a matter of time before we will have to resolve these issues on our own soil. How will the leftists "feel" then?

Didn't the Brits wipe out some of the murderous and bloodthirsty cults in "Injah" back in the day? What are we waiting for?

As disgusting as rape may be it is not unusual for any culture at any time and as much a part of war as death.

Remember Rape, Pillage and Plunder? There is a reason that rape is part of that trio and that it comes first.

Men at war rape unless they are restrained regardless of their culture, religoin, etc.

Where is Hillary!? Where is Babs Boxer? Where is Botox Pelosi? Where is NOW? Where is Gloria Steinem? Where is Martha Burk? Where is Emily's List? Where is Faye Waddleton? Where is Kate Michelman? Where is Eleanor Smeal?

Just proves they don't give a damn about protecting women, they only care about the power and money they get from protecting abortion. It's why they supported a rapist who was harassing anything in a skirt for eight years, and it's why they are silent on Jihadi rape. Disgraceful, hypocritical shrews who would drop everything to sharpen the scissors being plunged into a baby's skull, but cannot find the time or desire to care about the march of Islamist hate, rape and murder.

An evil false faith in a false god. There will be a day when men will have to come to grips with that.

Islam is one sorry, depraved excuse for a religion. Muslims are simply depraved monsters.

In much of the Muslim world, marriage does not require the consent of the woman.

Often women "marry" against their will.

Regardless of whether we view marriage as a contract or covenant, the female must agree. A true marriage requires consent of both parties.

As a result of this perversion of marriage, many Muslim women are being raped by their own "husbands".

This is the culture in which children are being raised. Today's Muslims are largely the product of false marriages. Islam tradition in many countries has successfully bastardized whole generations of their populations.

As long as children are brought up in this culture, the world will continue to experience Islamic terrorism.

Women and children need help escaping from the oppression of this culture of evil. Even the men could be helped if they can be deprogrammed from the ritualistic brainwashing of this so-called "religion".

This culture is incompatible with the laws of the free world. We don't need to sympathize with it, tolerate it, or try to understand it; we just need to stop it.

One must ask the question: "So, why shouldn't they rape, and torture, and kill?"

There is no price to be paid when they do so. The West hardly dares murmur "is-slime", much less rise up in fury.

We court-martial our soldiers and send them to prison over trivia, but the mo-slimes can rob, rape, murder, and torture and we do...nothing.

The mo-slimes behead men and women and we do...nothing.

So, again, since there are no consequences, please tell me - why shouldn't the mo-slimes do all of the above?

maybe, but rarely before has it been done as part of an organized campaign. Rarely would you see men participate in battle in anticipation of rape. This is a concept that was left many centuries in the past by Western cultures, but then again, I guess Muslim culture was left several centuries in the past as well....

Yes, and the world had better realize that.
