Islam Says: POWs Make Great Sex Slaves

Salwa al Mutairi has brought a fascinating problem to light, and I think we owe her thanks for having the courage to speak out about it. This Kuwaiti politician, and one time parliament candidate has finally been able to put words behind an age old problem.

Maids are just too damn sexy.

Kuwaiti men, along with the rest of the Islamic world presumably, are forever being tricked into sinning by these domestic temptresses.

For too long these adulterous affairs have been a blight on the otherwise un-blemished moral character of Muslims. Not only does al Mutairi have the courage to bring this problem to light, she also has the wisdom to bring forth a solution. If we just legalize sex slavery, men wouldn't be tempted to incur Allah's disfavor with the maids.

Wait, legalize sex slavery?!?!

That's the proper Islamic solution to a moral dilemma??? Apparently yes. She said, "There was no shame in it and it is not haram' (forbidden) under Islamic Sharia law." It gets worse because this isn't just the opinion of a lone weirdo. Al Mutairi checked with numerous Islamic scholars to see if her proposal would be in accordance with the Quran and Sharia law.

'They said, that’s right, the only solution for a decent man who has the means, who is overpowered by desire and who does not want to commit fornication, is to acquire jawari.' Jawari is the plural of the Arabic term jariya, meaning 'concubine' or 'sex slave'.

Let me throw a few Koran verses at you in case you think all these people are making it up as they go along.

4:24 And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.

4:34 Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other...As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them.

Just in case your eyes glanced over that horror, remember a scourge is: "a whip or lash, especially for the infliction of punishment or torture. "

True believers...

23:5 guard their modesty

23:6 Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy.

If you are already suspecting this story comes from The Onion let me assure that it doesn't. However, it does get weirder. Al Mutairi, and her Islamic scholars also have the perfect candidates to be sex slaves. Why Prisoners of War of course! That's the proper cost for waging war (or more realistically having war waged upon you) by Muslims. Russian women captured in Chechnyan war are perfect candidates.

They are beautiful, and they are not Muslims. Al Mutairi said such an arrangement would be proper because it would count as a marriage. "The man just buys her and that’s it. That’s enough to serve as marriage." I can't help but doubt that the women who are kidnapped, raped, and held captive for the rest of their lives will agree.

When people tell you that Islam is a Religion of Peace, when people tell you that it's "racist" to judge other cultures, remember that this is the face of Islam. This is the face of the enemy. The enemy of all people who are still willing to stand up for individual rights and liberty.
