ISIS Enslavement of Women: ISIS Justifies Act of Enslaving Women in Online News Magazine

Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) reportedly justified their enslavement of women on Sunday in the latest edition of 'Dabiq,' an English-language online magazine.

The militant group cited that it's part of the Islamic theology, which was later opposed by the Muslims and regarded it as parody of Islam.

"One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffar -- the infidels -- and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, or Islamic law," the Islamic terrorist group claims in an online magazine published Sunday.

The fourth edition entitled 'The revival (of) slavery before the Hour,' pertaining to the Judgment Day clearly summarizes ISIS viewpoint.

The group stated in 'Dabiq' that female members of the Yezidi sector, an ethnically Kurdish minority where majority is settling in Iraq could be legally captured to be concubines or sex slaves. The group allegedly said that capturing women and girls is written in the Qur'an and is also established in their law.

The militants also said that anyone who would be questioning the act would be disrespecting Prophet Muhammed and would be enemy of the Islam.

It is reported that 'Dabiq' article came out after Human Rights Watch (HRW) published a report pertaining to ISIS' sexual enslavement of women- the Yezidi minority in Iraq.

"The Islamic State's litany of horrific crimes against the Yezidis in Iraq only keeps growing," stated by Fred Abrahams, Special Adviser of Human Rights Watch. "We heard shocking stories of forced religious conversions, forced marriage, and even sexual assault and slavery - and some of the victims were children."

76 Yezidis relocated in Zakho, Duhok, Erbil and other areas of Iraqi Kurdistan confirmed that the Islamic group captured nearly 366 of their relatives. In August, tens of thousands of Yazidis were forced to flee their homes in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Jihadists kidnapped hundreds of Yezidi girls and women and were sold or given away as 'spoils of war' to militants as reported by displaced families.
