Isis brings back slavery: Yazidi girls sold to Isis fighters as concubines for $1,000
View attachment 130670
Isis has boasted that it had enslaved women from an Iraqi minority group to use as concubines, as a human rights organisation reported teenagers being bought and sold by fighters for $1,000 (£622).
An English-language propaganda magazine for Isis said Yazidi women and children were considered spoils of war after they were captured as the militants seized their towns and villages. It was the first confirmation from the group of widespread allegations of detention and sexual abuse against Yazidi women.
Hundreds of thousands of members of the ancient sect were displaced as Isis fighters swept through the Sinjar area of northern Iraq in August, prompting US President Barack Obama to warn of an unfolding genocide. Those who escaped said men had been massacred while hundreds of women and children had been detained.
Isis systematically separated young women and teenage girls from their families, Human Rights Watch said in a new report.
“[Isis’s] litany of horrific crimes against the Yazidis in Iraq only keeps growing,” said Fred Abrahams, a special adviser at HRW. The group documented 366 Yazidi captives but also reported that some detainees reached by phone said the number was more than 1,000. The Iraqi government said 1,500 women were detained during the advances in the Sinjar area, which is also home to Christian and Shiite minorities.
One 15-year-old girl, interviewed after she had escaped, told the group that a Palestinian Isis militant had bought her for $1,000.
The women and children were divided among fighters according to Islamic law, the Isis magazine, Dabiq, said.
“The enslaved Yazidi families are now sold by the [Isis] soldiers,” it continued. The article argued that although Christians and Jews can be offered the chance to pay a tax or convert, Yazidis, as polytheists, can be enslaved if captured during war.
It details the argument for enslavement under its extremist interpretation of Islam, boasting that it is the largest mass-enslavement since the early days of the religion.
“One should remember that enslaving the families of the [nonbelievers] and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of Islamic law,” the magazine said. “Their creed is so deviant from the truth that even cross-worshipping Christians for ages considered them devil worshippers and Satanists.”
The rejection of slavery had led to an increase in adultery and fornication, it said, because men who couldn’t afford marriage found themselves surrounded by temptation, including by maids. “If she were his concubine, this relationship would be legal,” it said.
None of the Yazidi women interviewed by HRW said they had been raped, but sexual assault is deeply stigmatised in the conservative sect.
One interviewed by the group said she’d seen “brides” taken from both a school and prison she was held in. “Some were as young as 12 or 13, and up to age 20,” she said. “Some of the young women were married but without children, so [the Isis soldiers] didn’t believe they were married.”

this thread is about isis abusing women...keep your posts to topic...you r a veteran u should know...ISIS terrorist are as much Muslims as you are.
On the other hand
Hinduism teaches barring baby girls alive, right after birth, as this is a common practice among Hindus and Sikhs, by some estimates over 10 million baby girls were buried alive in India.
Do you deny that......
I think every Muslim country has risk. The stated goal of these guys is to unite the Muslim world under their leadership. Almost every country in the West has had at least a few radicals run off to join ISIS. I suspect just on the numbers that Muslim countries will have more. They will come home, or be sent back, at some point, with the objective of spreading the revolution. Turkey, probably the most "liberal" of Muslim countries, has had ISIS supporters show up at one of the universities to make their feelings known. The core belief of ISIS is a very common dream of many Muslims, they just disagree with how ISIS is going about it (or that ISIS would be in charge, rather than their own choice of leadership). I think the Muslim world is in for a rough patch the next decade or so.
this thread is about isis abusing women...keep your posts to topic...you r a veteran u should know...
trolling a troll will only spoil this thread... just report the post and stick to the topic...and again being a veteran u should know this!What exactly is core belief you talk off "The core belief of ISIS is a very common dream of many Muslims".
My response is completely relevant to the question. Before jumping in to defend the troll, you should have bother to read, what i was responding to.

ISIS: Is It All About The Oil? – Pakistan
Compare to threads on this site speculating how great it would be if the whole Muslim world was united. Pretty much every Muslim you talk to wants to see a united Muslim world. It's the "how" and what it would look like that they disagree on, and who would be in charge. Pakistanis feel they would be best. Arabs, well, you know Arabs. Malaysians don't trust any one else to be rational. The Turks feel entitled due to having done it before. Everyone has a reason why they would be best. But ultimately most Muslims wants a united Ummah.
I cant speak for rest of the world , but in case of pakistan you are right, even know after all we have been through some are still living in this "Ummah" dream, but i assure you majority is over it.
Building on the subject of ISIS's next target (and its potential expansion in Pakistan), I can see Iran (specifically the Baloch areas) becoming a target for ISIS. The demographics in the region would play right into the ISIS's hands, and the propaganda of Sunni political and religious persecution at the hands of a Shia majority would mirror their campaign in Iraq and Syria. However, given the porous Iran-Pakistan border and the ties between various Baloch and Sunni extremist groups on both sides, ISIS will end up strengthening its position in Pakistan as a result of any such involvement in Iran. Such a strengthening of ISIS's position in Pakistan will still not allow it to replicated its gains ala Iraq (for reasons explored in my earlier post), but it will pose a headache in terms of the State having to deal with emboldened Sunni sectarian terrorist groups carrying out terrorist attacks on innocent Shia and other non-Sunni Pakistanis.No doubt. The ideology is present in its weak form ie Taliban. ISIS takes things to a newer and higher level. When I implied that ISIS enters Pakistan, I meant with their kind of ideological support, with their funding and with their committed foot soldiers who try and change society (instead of fighting with PA). Hollowing the society out from the inside rather than trying to take it from outside(which is not possible).
Taliban and Al-Qaida seem tame in comparison to ISIS.
I agree with each of the points.Building on the subject of ISIS's next target (and its potential expansion in Pakistan), I can see Iran (specifically the Baloch areas) becoming a target for ISIS. The demographics in the region would play right into the ISIS's hands, and the propaganda of Sunni political and religious persecution at the hands of a Shia majority would mirror their campaign in Iraq and Syria.
