ISIS has established a bureaucracy of sex slavery in Iraq and is using the Koran to justify the outrageous practice of raping girls and women who are not Muslims, The New York Times reports.
The extremists are targeting non-Muslims, specifically from the Yazidi religious minority, and have used a network of warehouses to house the victims, who are marketed like livestock and shipped off on buses.
More than 5,200 Yazidis were abducted last year, and at least 3,144 are still imprisoned by ISIS, which “has developed a detailed bureaucracy of sex slavery, including sales contracts notarized by the ISIS-run Islamic courts,” The Times wrote.
“And the practice has become an established recruiting tool to lure men from deeply conservative Muslim societies, where casual sex is taboo and dating is forbidden.”
ISIS has even published a how-to manual on slavery, using selective readings of the Koran to “celebrate” rape as a “beneficial” and “virtuous” practice.
“Every time that he came to rape me, he would pray,” a 15-year-old girl told the Times. “He said that raping me is his prayer to God. I said to him, ‘What you’re doing to me is wrong, and it will not bring you closer to God.’ And he said, ‘No, it’s allowed. It’s halal.'”
