Militant killed
Kurdistan Democratic Party spokesman Saeed Mamouzini said that the militant was killed near the city of Mosul in Iraq. He not only forced the survivor into sex slavery, but he also used to hand her to his depraved followers as a ‘gift’, he said.
ISIS took control of Mosul in June 2014 and established a number of sex slave markets in the second largest city in Iraq. The Yazidis are a religious minority in Syria and Iraq and are oppressed and terrorised by the terror group — a total of 5,270 Yazidis were abducted last year, and more than 3,000 are still in their grip, according to figures within the community.
Twisted interpretation
ISIS claim that rape is part of their twisted interpretation of Islam, according to the testimony of children they have abducted and forced into sexual slavery. A 12-year-old girl who escaped the group told the New York Times that the man who abused her explained to her that the sickening act he was about to commit was not a sin because she was not Muslim.
In fact, he claimed her faith not only gave him the right to rape her — but encouraged it. After tying her up and gagging her, he knelt beside the bed and prayed. Afterwards, he prayed again.
The girl, who was interviewed in a refugee camp, said, “I kept telling him it hurts — please stop. He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God.”
Women executed
According to reports, ISIS militants executed 19 women in July and 15 women in August after they had refused to get married to the militants. Muslims throughout the world have condemned ISIS for using the Islamic faith to justify their sickening acts.
