There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the barbarians who compose the terrorist group ISIS are not proponents of rights for anyone other than themselves, but newly seized documents show that they have even drawn up “rules” for how to properly rape and sexually torture female captives.
A “fatwa,” or religious ruling on a matter of Islamic law, was among a treasure trove of documents captured by U.S. Special Operations Forces during a raid in May which targeted a top Islamic State official in Syria. Reuters news agency reviewed some of the captured documents and the contents are nothing short of chilling.
Among the instructions are bans on a father and son having sex with the same female slave, along with the owner of a mother and daughter having sex with both. Joint owners of a female captive are similarly forbidden from intercourse because she is viewed as “part of a joint ownership.”
Here is part of Fatwa No. 64, dated January 29, 2015, and issued by Islamic State’s Committee of Research and Fatwas. It clearly endorses the rape of female captives:
“Some of the brothers have committed violations in the matter of the treatment of the female slaves. These violations are not permitted by Sharia law because these rules have not been dealt with in ages. Are there any warnings pertaining to this matter?”
15 so-called injunctions are then listed, among them:
“If the owner of a female captive, who has a daughter suitable for intercourse, has sexual relations with the latter, he is not permitted to have intercourse with her mother and she is permanently off-limits to him. Should he have intercourse with her mother then he is not permitted to have intercourse with her daughter and she is to be off limits to him.”
According to Islamic scholar Abdel Fattah Alawari, dean of Islamic Theology at Al-Azhar University in Eqypt, ISIS has nothing to do with true Islam:
“Islam preaches freedom to slaves, not slavery. Slavery was the status quo when Islam came around. Judaism, Christianity, Greek, Roman, and Persian civilizations all practiced it and took the females of their enemies as sex slaves. So Islam found this abhorrent practice and worked to gradually remove it.”
As recently as 2014, more than 120 Islamic scholars from around the world issued an open letter to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in which they directly refuted the group’s religious arguments to justify many of its actions. The scholars specifically stated that the “reintroduction of slavery is forbidden in Islam.”
