New in PJ Media:
One of the leftist establishment’s flagship propaganda outfits made a remarkable admission on Thursday: Hamas’ mass rapes of captive Israeli women abducted on Oct. 7 could have been in accord with Islamic law. This is the first time, as far as I know, that any establishment outlet has acknowledged this fact, as important and full of implications as it is, and it’s all the more extraordinary that the acknowledgment would come in a far-left rag such as the UK’s Guardian.
The Guardian reported that “mounting evidence of rapes and genital mutilation” on Oct. 7 “pointed to possible crimes against humanity.” Then came the big admission, although it was hedged around in various ways: “Israeli intelligence officials, experts and sources with direct knowledge of interrogation reports of captured Hamas fighters believe units that attacked were beforehand given a text that drew on a controversial and contested interpretation of traditional Islamic military jurisprudence, claiming that captives were ‘the spoils of war.’ This potentially legitimised the abduction of civilians and other abuses, without being an explicit instruction to do so.” It also noted that “in at least two unsourced videos of interrogations of alleged Hamas members,” the jihadis “are heard talking about instructions given to rape women.”
Is this plausible? Could one of the world’s great religions actually approve of this barbarity? The Guardian attributes this suggestion to “Israeli intelligence officials,” which for the publication’s leftist audience undercuts it immediately. Then they call this idea a “controversial and contested interpretation.” In reality, I would love to see any Islamic source contest this, but it would be hard to find one, as it’s all straight from the Qur’an.
The Qur’an first raises the possibility of taking infidel women for sexual use in the context of the permission for polygamy: “And if you fear that you will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry the women who seem good to you, two or three or four, and if you fear that you cannot do justice, then one, or those that your right hands possess. In this way it is more likely that you will not do injustice” (4:3).
Who are “those that your right hands possess”? The Tafsir Anwarul Bayan, a modern Islamic commentary on the Qur’an, explains: “During Jihad (religion war), many men and women become war captives. The Amirul Mu’minin [leader of the believers, or caliph—an office now vacant] has the choice of distributing them amongst the Mujahidin [warriors of jihad], in which event they will become the property of these Mujahidin. This enslavement is the penalty for disbelief (kufr)” (I, 501).
There is more. Read the rest here.

Is all that not sufficient reason why the Muslim’s holy book be banned worldwide on the grounds is is a book of hate and misogynist ?
Mike says
It shouldn’t be banned or destroyed, but it should be widely analyzed and criticized by both Muslims and non-Muslims. The same with Shariah Law.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Mike. We have to know what we are up against with Islam.
Samer says
Do not forget that many provisions of Islamic law were taken from the Torah and the Talmud. Fortunately for the Jews, they do not call for the strict application of the provisions of Jewish law.
Lee Schmidt says
Please delineate your references.

muslims should read the koran critically but away from the ‘scholars’ leading them astray.
allah even says to muhammed in koran 10:94 to check with the Bible folk if in doubt about anything:muslims are told the Bible was corrupted but it is not.muslims need to use critical thinking!
islam does not even have the Golden Rule.
SC says
Fighting Islam rule 1. There is no collateral damage when bombing the crap out of moslems.
In all other cases refer to rule 1.
somehistory says
Their book of demon filth, conveys the lying idea, by it’s feculent demands and commands, that males may force their filthy bodies on whatever person they can grab and for whom they lust; and claims they can do so with God’s blessing.
The God of the Bible…and mozlums claim to worship Him…would never approve, never command, never excuse such misconduct., such lawlessness, such wickedly evil abuse of women, children, and men.
Those who want to hide the Truth, claim that hamas didn’t do the raping, torture, burning alive innocent people, which the hamas members bragged about doing.
DiploNerd says
Rape: yes. Gangrape: no. Each “milk al-yemin” (sex slave) is owned by one person. She is not to be passed around.
Robert says
Unless consent of the ‘owner’ is given?
Or the participants are paying?
DiploNerd says
No, Muslims are not supposed to pass a sex slave around or prostitute her out. Not by consent of the self-proclaimed slaveowner, nor by payment. When ISIS was doing that with the Yazidi women, ISIS leadership put a stop to it. Islam is sick enough already without that.
gravenimage says
The “Prophet” Muhammed sneered at his companions for *not* raping their kidnap victims.
Hoi Polloi says
Where is this prohibition stated dip, and why the muslim failure to deal with muslims on this account if it’s actually the law?
Is there rape if the slave if multiple men won’t testify? Answer: No.
It’s hardly ISIS. Reports of gang rape and sexual enslavement, including offering the woman to multiple men are to be heard wherever one finds muslims.
And you speak as though the sexual enslavement enshrined in Islam is a rational, acceptable matter. It’s not.
As graven notes, it’s MO’s behavior that tells the story.
tgusa says
What I do know through decades of observing them is that they will keep hostages for yes, decades. In some instances. But who knows for sure, are they alive, how much did they have to endure, because it was probably a lot. It is one form of warfare that they have employed for decades against us but leaders of the our world seem to have not noticed.
Reziac says
Or why it’s best to harden your hearts and regard the hostages as already dead.
That way you have a clear path to punishing the savages, and that punishment is rather more likely to result in any surviving hostages being recovered.
tgusa says
Yeah, it sucks and it is terrible to have to accept. But still, most times, you eventually have to accept reality no matter how bad that reality might be to you.
gravenimage says
I think that Israel should still try and rescue the hostages–but not agree to strenghten Hamas in the process.
Rob Porter says
Richard the Lionheart had the right Idea when fighting Saladan’s men during the Third Crusade, just cut them to shreds without mercy and take no prisoners. I couldn’t care what the Qur’an teaches them and how misled they are, they are evil, vermin and should be slain. What these evil men did to Israeli females in captivity is so degraded that they deserve death. Once establised which captured Hamas men did this, they should be executed.
Goofy says
Is the crime against humanity committed by the individual Muslim who follows the commands of Islam?
Or is Islam itself crime against humanity?
The fist step to find out is to develop study Qur’an versions with annotations explaining how the Qur’an’s commands violate national law and international conventions on human rights and warfare.
Kenneth Birtwistle says
What a Mickey mouse ‘religion’ islam really is. I think they make it up as they go along to.excuse their atrocities. Just wish they could be cancelled as I despise them more with each horrific act they produce. I am not proud of my feelings but the world would be a better place if there was no islam.
gravenimage says
I have stronger words for such a savage creed than “Mickey Mouse”.
NoTaqiyya says
The ignorance of the complicit media is intentional. Because the evidence is overwhelming that what HAMAS perpetrated on October 7th, 2023, was all in accordance with the Islamic imperative, as commanded by their “prophet”.

Tony Rice says
What those Palestinians did on 7th Oct was not only in accordance with what Allah wants them to do, but actually as they are REQUIRED to do as part of worshipping HIM, and I say HIM and no female or ” undecided ” could require such behaviour. And one added problem is that the captives, certainly the females but probably the males as well, will be penetrated sexually and which means they are not likely to be released so as not to be able to spill the beans. Evil begats evil.
Walter Sieruk says
That demonic jihad entity, Hamas, with is jihadists, have no limits, at all, to its cruel heinous and vile horrendously horrific vile and heinous Islamic evils that it so maliciously and murderously commits.
Walter Sieruk says
The systematic sexual violence and outright rape of Israeli women and girls by the jihadists of Hamas during and after their murderous jihad on October 7th is horrendously vile and heinous to the most evil extent possible. Those jihadists Hamas by their brutal crimes of torture and rape of young Jewish girls and women have exposed they own vicious misogyny of the demonic evil mindset which is the resort of their religion which is Islam.
Some naïve Westerners who don’t know and understand about the bloody and deadly essence of Islam’s jihad , might be shocked and stop and wonder “Just how can those jihadists of Hamas be so totally unconscionably evil to commit those horrendous sex vile heinous affront and hideous crime, actions ? “
The answer to that question is found in the Bible, which informs its reader that there are some men who are completely horrifically callous heartless and unfeeling because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [K.J.V.]
For them, that “hot iron” is Islam.
Rob Porter says
Having read this and in anger read of this Muslim treatment of Israeli females, if I were an Israeli soldier fighting Hamas there would be no prisoners. I would kill every wretched fighting age Palestinian who crossed my path.
In 2015 Nigeria hired two or three hundred South African mercenaries to fight Boko Haram and the Fulani Tribes who had with absolute brutality been killing Christians. In 3 1’2 months those mercenaries accomplished what the entire Nigerian army had failed to accomplish in 6 years. – and the took no prisoners, just hunted them down or drove then into ‘kill blocks’ where they killed the lot. Israel is wasting it time and money taking these disgusting Hamas ‘fighters’ prisoner.
