Ambassador deceives Senate on Boko Haram kidnapping



Washington, DC, May 22, 2014 — Ambassador Robert Jackson stated before a Congressional hearing last week that the kidnapping of 274 Nigerian girls by Boko Haram had nothing to do with Islam. This is both an erroneous and dangerous claim at the least. At the worst this was an attempt to deceive your elected representatives in the Senate.

Ambassador Robert P. Jackson’s claim that the action of kidnapping had nothing to do with Islam can be measured for accuracy in two ways. 1) Historical Analysis: Are there Islamic countries with legalized slavery? Are there recent historical occurrences of Islamic advocacy for slavery ? 2) Scriptural Analysis: Are there Koranic references to enslaving women? Are there recent historical occurrences of advocacy for slavery in Islam?

2012
M. Zulkifli Nazim, of the Asian Tribune, felt there was enough information two years ago to write about Saudi slavery. He gives specifics into how some are kept as slaves and how identity legislation assists Islamic slavers.

2011
A quick search using the terms: sex slave and Islam found several articles testifying to the normalcy of the concept. As recently as 2011, the United Kingdom’s Daily Mail recorded such an event. Salwa al Mutari, a Kuwaiti woman advocated for sex slavery to be legalized in Kuwait in a You Tube video. Salwa suggested that “non-Muslim prisoners from war-torn countries would make suitable concubines {sex-slaves}. … There was no shame in it and it is not haram’{forbidden} under Islamic Sharia law.”

Mutari went so far as to make a claim there must be Russian women who were taken as slaves during the Chechnyan war and proposed that slave traders bring the girls to Kuwait to be sold.

Murtari claimed that on a trip to Mecca she talked to Muftis, she asked them, “What is the law of sex slaves?”
The Muftis answered her:
With the law of sex slaves, there must be a Muslim nation at war with a Christian nation, or a nation which is not of the religion, not of the religion of Islam. And there must be prisoners of war.
Mutari then asked, “Is this forbidden by Islam?”
The Muftis said:
Absolutely not. Sex slaves are not forbidden by Islam. On the contrary, sex slaves are under a different law than the free woman. The free woman must be completely covered except for her face and hands. But the sex slave can be naked from the waist up. She differs a lot from the free woman. While the free woman requires a marriage contract, the sex slave does not—she only needs to be purchased by her husband and that’s it. Therefore the sex slave is different than the free woman.
2006
The Sunday Times in the UK exposed Islamic slavery in Pakistan Young boys, between the ages of 6 and 12 were kidnapped by the Jamaat-ud Daawa (Islamic terrorist group) from villages known to be predominantly Christian in Punjab, Pakistan. The boys were beaten, fed little and forbidden to talk, pray or play. They were sold as sex slaves or as domestic slaves bringing an average price of $1,700.

If I was to add all of the recorded news items on Islamic slavery in the last 10 years this article would be well over 10 pages long.
Are there Koranic references to enslaving women?

The answer here is yes, and the details may shock you.

Sura 23:5-6
“..who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess…”

Sura 33:50
O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses (slaves).

Even sex with married slaves is permitted according to the Koran.

Suru 4:24
And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.”

Sura 70:22-30
Except the observers of prayer – Those who are constant in their prayer. And those within whose wealth is a known right. For the petitioner and the deprived – And those who believe in the Day of Recompense And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord – Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe – And those who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess {slaves}, for indeed, they are not to be blamed.
Conclusion

Common sense dictates that the information above easily proves Ambassador Jackson was either deluded or purposefully behaving deceitfully in his testimony. What will be done to inform the Senate so they understand that the Ambassador did not speak correctly when he claimed that Boko Haram kidnapping and enslaving of 243 girls had nothing to do with Islam. It had everything to do with it!
