Inside the Horror of Islamic Sex Slavery – and the Real War on Women

Muslims tattooed their Yazidi girl slaves.

Bringing attention to the forgotten victims.

Last week marked the seventh annual commemoration of the Yazidi genocide, though you wouldn’t know it from watching establishment media. Nor would you know that there is an ongoing genocide of Christians taking place in Nigeria, nor that throughout the Islamic world countless women and girls are enduring kidnapping, forced marriages, forced conversions of Christians to Islam, genocidal rape, and/or widespread sex trafficking even in countries that are supposedly our allies in the War on Terror.

‘He bought me like a chicken’: Islam & slavery in Niger

What a shitty neighbourhood.

It’s sex trafficking. In Islam, prostitution and sex outside marriage are sins … it’s legitimate from a traditional and religious-legal perspective – Dr Benedetta Rossi

Al-Husseina Amadou never forgets the day she was sold. Like her parents, she was born into slavery in southern Niger. Forty-five years ago, when she was 15, a wealthy businessman from across the border in Nigeria arrived and bought her from her family’s master as a “fifth wife” or wahaya.

“My parents had no say,” she recalls. “I was just a girl and he bought me like a chicken in the market. When I left with him, I was crying with my mother.”

For 15 years Amadou lived with her “husband” in northern Nigeria, cooking and cleaning for his four “official” wives, whom he had married in accordance with Islamic law, and their children, while also working in their fields and tending their livestock.

Girl Rescued After Being Kidnapped at 8, Sold in Mohammedan Death Cult Slave Markets

The nightmarish ordeal of a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS terrorists in 2014 when she was 8 years old and repeatedly sold between families as a slave has ended after she managed to contact a family member on social media from a refugee camp.

Rosita Haji Baju, now 16, had been terrified that if she revealed her past, she would suffer further abuse and instead sought help on social media, desperately hoping to find a relative she could alert to her ordeal.

How are Gulf countries coming to terms with their history of slavery?

Modern slavery is still widespread in the Arab states of the Gulf region, where millions of migrant workers are forced to work under grueling conditions with little or no pay.

The“kafala” system, for example, a practice still common across much of the region’s countries, allows employers to hire unskilled workers from places like Africa and South Asia. In return, workers give up their passports and the possibility to leave the country or change jobs without permission from their employers.

But the region’s record of benefiting from forced labor isn’t a recent development. Traditional slavery, where people were kidnapped and sold as slaves far from home, was still legal and practiced in large parts of the Gulf region as late as the 1970s.

‘Still going through hell’: the search for Yazidi women made captive by Islamist slavers seven years on

Muslims tattooed their Yazidi girl slaves.

For seven years, their families waited and hoped for news. In July, they finally received it. Two young women, kidnapped by Islamic State as teenagers, had been found alive in Syria.

Salma*, now 25, was located in Deir el-Zour province, in the east of the country. She had “suffered all kinds of injustice”, said the Yazidi House in the Al-Jazira region, an organisation that assisted with the rescue of both women.

Dareen*, abducted from Sinjar – the Yazidis’ homeland in northern Iraq – when she was just 14, was rescued a week later, according to the Yazidi House.

UK: The secret of Muslim racism toward black people

Muhammad was a prolific slave trader and owner. This is common knowledge. Islam was built and spread on the backs of castrated black slaves, as per Muhammad’s example and instruction. Blacks truly did build the Arab world. If anyone ever owed anyone anything, Islam owes black people reparations that might possibly bankrupt their nations and states. “The Arabs have raided sub-Saharan Africa for thirteen centuries without interruption. Most of the men they deported have disappeared, due to their inhuman treatments. This painful page of the history of Black people does not seem to have been completely ended.” Black Lives Matter and the world at large focus on the trans-Atlantic slave trade whilst ignoring the Arab enslavement of black people, a movement which has gone on for much longer, was begun much earlier, and which continues to this day.
