The Muslim fighters for the Caliphate of the Islamic Stare are reviving the traditional Islamic practice of capturing non-Muslim women and enslaving them, but with a modern twist.
Facebook profiles discovered by the Middle East Media Research Institute’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor Project feature a German ISIS fighter offering two Yazidi sex slaves to the highest bidder.
“To all the bros thinking about buying a slave, this one is $8,000,” reads a May 20 post accompanied by the picture of a woman on the Facebook page of the Islamic State militant who calls himself Abu Assad Almani.
A few hours later, a second image was posted by the fighter of another woman.
“Another sabiyah [slave], also about $8,000,” the posting reads. “Yay, or nay?”
It is important to remember that despite the narrative, this is not aberrant behavior. Slavery played a major role in the development of Islam and capturing and enslaving non-Muslims serves to validate the Mohammedan claim of manifest destiny by demonstrating that, Allahu Akbar, the Islamic deity is greater than God.
