Why Boko Haram and ISIS Target Women

In all the battles waged by men, one of the most effective ways to destroy the enemy is to destroy its women. Rape and sexual abuse are wartime “strategies” as old as war itself.

Popular Christian writer Ann Voskamp recently visited refugees in Northern Iraq who had fled ISIS, the self-declared Islamic State. Voskamp noticed 5- and 7-year old girls among the families, but no 9-year-olds. The reason, writes Voskamp: “ISIS sells 9-year-old girls in slave bazaars… They are categorized. Stripped. And shipped naked. Examined and distributed. Sold and passed around like meat. Livestock.”

ISIS “has institutionalized sexual violence and the brutalization of women as a central aspect of their ideology and operations,” a UN representative confirmed last week. On the ground, females are sold as sexual slaves for $43—with the price going up to $172 for the youngest (ages 1–9). The UN reports that one girl was “married” more than 20 times, each time forced to undergo surgery to “restore” her virginity.

Here I thought it was because of the Tea Party’s war on women.

Today’s muslimes are products of rape. Barring pure southern Arabs, all muslimes can trace their existence to mass rapes that occurred when their respective regions were conquered.

Why do Boko Haram and ISIS turn women into sex slaves?

Because they can. Because availability of sex slaves attracts men willing to fight for them. Because it means that every loser who is unable to get laid will go join ISIS in hopes of seizing some beautiful girl to be his slave.

It's a pattern that drove the original Muslim expansion in the early days. Women and loot.

Mo-ham-yucky created incentives for dealing with surplus men created by his religion from hell... (If one man can have four wives - three men will have none - that sets the stage for violent aggressive hopeless men - how to channel that sexual energy?)...

Adultery for women is punished by death... so that takes out all but the most insane women...

What's left for the surplus castoffs of this evil ‘religion’? Conquest, rape, and sex slaves are the prizes according to Mo-Ham-yuck's rules. Rules found in the Koran and stamped with approval by every self appointed Imam in the system.

In short - sex slaves, child rape, torture and beheadings are part of the system.

They're rewards for the surplus men... sanctioned and approved by the Koran... as much a part of the religion as bowing to Mecca...

“And just what is a “pure southern Arab?”

The Arabs amongst whom Islam originated. They started the rape campaign.

Send that one sentence to all Swedes, Brits and Germans.
