ISIS Forces Sex Slaves
to use Birth Control, by Alice Greene, 3/14/16
The
Islamic State has been accused of the systematic kidnapping and rape of
thousands of women – some as young as 12. Many of the victims are handed over
to militants as rewards or “war spoils." Others are sold as sex
slaves.
ISIS
leaders believe that sexual slavery was prevalent during the lifetime of
Prophet Muhammad and have thus made the despicable practice an important part
of the group’s operations. Most victims are Yazidi girls that were
captured when ISIS militants sacked their ancestral homeland on Mount Sinjar in
August 2014. A good number have escaped, but thousands remain as prisoners.
The
minority religion has about half a million followers in Iraq. Much of this
population has been displaced and has found shelter in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
Still, ISIS managed to capture nearly 5,000 Yazidi men and women during the
summer of 2014. Of those, roughly 2,000 have managed to escape.
After
their escape, nearly 1,000 Yazidi rape victims visited a UN-supported clinic in
Iraq. A gynecologist working there reported that only 5% of them had become
pregnant during captivity. Sex slavery typically leads to waves of undesired
pregnancies, but this has not been the case with ISIS.
According
to the New York Times, the
Islamic State enforces “oral and injectable contraception” to prevent these
women and girls from becoming pregnant and to maintain its supply of sex
slaves. "In at least one case, a woman was forced to have an abortion in
order to make her available for sex, and others were pressured to do so."
Birth
control is a modern solution to an archaic problem. According to an old Islamic
Law that ISIS follows, a man must be sure that a woman he enslaves is not pregnant
before having sex with her. Even sex with children is acceptable under the
ancient law.
According
to the escaped Yazidi women who agreed to speak with the New York Times, girls knew they were
about to be sold when they were forced to give a urine sample (pregnancy test).
A negative result would mean continued rape, but a positive result would mean
they were carrying their abuser’s baby.
“No
one wants to carry the child of their enemy,” says Ahlam, one of the women who
agreed to an interview with the Times.
The middle-aged woman was deemed unattractive and used as an interpreter
instead of a sex slave. Her children weren’t so lucky.

Muslims
need to avoid moving to non-Muslim places. If there are Muslims who don’t
subscribe to rape, honor killing, stoning sex slaves, invasion, conversion,
violence, mutilation, child rape, Sharia law and killing ‘infidels’ need to
have their Imams meet, edit these practices out of the Quran and establish
Reformed Islam. They would probably be able to assimilate into non-Muslim
places. Muslims and Imams who prefer to keep the Quran in its current form should
stay in Muslim countries. Non-Muslim countries should not allow Muslim
immigration until these reforms have been adopted and can be trusted. The
current Islam is a subversive alternate government system and should not be
allowed in non-Muslim countries. Islam is not a religion. It is a dangerous,
violent cult.
