But Mark Zuckerberg is worried, censoring posts critical of the Muslim invasion of Europe. But jihad spreads like cancer on Facebook.
“Islam Allows It and We Will Do It” This is all according to Islamic law (sharia).
“Prosperous are the believers who in their prayers are humble and from idle talk turn away and at almsgiving are active and guard their private parts save from their wives and what their right hands own then being not blameworthy.” (Quran 23:1-6)
“Prosperous are the believers who in their prayers are humble and from idle talk turn away and at almsgiving are active and guard their private parts save from their wives and what their right hands own then being not blameworthy.” (Quran 23:1-6)
Those whom their “right hands own” (Quran 4:3, 4:24, 33:50) are slaves, and inextricable from the concept of Islamic slavery as a whole is the concept of sex slavery, which is rooted in Islam’s devaluation of the lives of non-Muslims. The Quran stipulates that a man may take four wives as well as hold slave girls as sex slaves. These women are captured in wartime and are considered the spoils of war. Islam avoids the appearance of impropriety, declaring that the taking of these sex slaves does not constitute adultery if the women are already married, for their marriages are ended at the moment of their capture. A manual of Islamic law directs: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman”s previous marriage is immediately annulled” (Reliance of the Traveller, o9.13).

” ISIS fighters seem to be trying to sell sex slaves online,” By Joby Warrick, Washington Post, May 28, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The woman is young, perhaps 18, with olive skin and dark bangs that droop onto her face. In the Facebook photo, she attempts to smile but doesn’t look at her photographer.
The caption mentions a single biographical fact: She is for sale.
“To all the bros thinking about buying a slave, this one is $8,000,” begins the May 20 Facebook posting, which was attributed to an Islamic State fighter who calls himself Abu Assad Almani. The same man posted a second image a few hours later, this one a pale young face with weepy red eyes.
[the_ad id=”77189″]
“Another sabiyah [slave], also about $8,000,” the posting reads. “Yay, or nay?”
The photos were taken down within hours by Facebook, and it is unclear whether the account’s owner was doing the selling himself or commenting about women being sold by other fighters. But the unusual posting underscores what experts say is an increasingly perilous existence for the hundreds of women who are thought to be held as sex slaves by the Islamic State.

As the terrorist group comes under heightened pressure in Iraq and Syria, these female captives appear to be suffering, too — sold and traded by cash-strapped fighters, subjected to shortages of food and medicine, and put at risk daily by military strikes, according to terrorism experts and human rights groups.
Social-media sites used by Islamic State fighters in recent months have included numerous accounts of the buying and selling of sex slaves, as well the promulgation of formal rules for dealing with them. The guidelines cover such topics as whether it’s possible to have sex with prepubescent prisoners — yes, the Islamic State’s legal experts say — and how severely a slave can be beaten.
But until the May 20 incident, there were no known instances of Islamic State fighters posting photographs of female captives being offered for sale. The photos of the two unidentified women appeared only briefly before being deleted by Facebook, but the images were captured by the Middle East Media Research Institute, a Washington nonprofit group that monitors jihadists’ social-media accounts.
“We have seen a great deal of brutality, but the content that ISIS has been disseminating over the past two years has surpassed it all for sheer evil,” said Steven Stalinsky, the institute’s executive director, using the common acronym for the Islamic State. “Sales of slave girls on social media is just one more example of this.”
[Two of her daughters joined ISIS. Now she’s trying to save her two younger girls. ]
Almani, the apparent owner of the Facebook account, is thought to be a German national fighting for the Islamic State in Syria, according to Stalinsky. He has previously posted to social-media accounts under that name, in the slangy, poorly rendered English used by many European fighters who can’t speak Arabic. Early postings suggest that Almani is intimately familiar with the Islamic State’s activities around Raqqa, the group’s de facto capital in Syria. He also regularly uses his accounts to solicit donations for the terrorist group.
In displaying the images of the women, Almani advised his Facebook friends to “get married” and “come to dawlah,” or the Islamic State’s territory in Iraq and Syria. Then he engaged with different commenters in an extensive discussion about whether the $8,000 asking price was a good value. Some who replied to the postings mocked the women’s looks, while others scolded Almani for posting photos of women who weren’t wearing the veil.
“What makes her worth that price? Does she have an exceptional skill?” one of his correspondents asks about woman in the second photo.
“Nope,” he replies. “Supply and demand makes her that price.”
The Islamic State’s leaders have historically used U.S.-based social media such as Facebook and Twitter to attract recruits and spread propaganda, but in the past year American companies have sought to block jihadist accounts and postings whenever they are discovered.
Facebook in particular has garnered high marks from watchdog groups for reacting quickly to terrorists’ efforts to use its pages. But at the same time, the militants also have become more agile, leaping quickly from one social-media platform to another and opening new accounts as soon as older ones are shut down.
The Facebook incident comes amid complaints from human rights groups about waning public interest in the plight of women held as prisoners by the Islamic State. The organization Human Rights Watch, citing estimates by Kurdish officials in Iraq and Syria, says the terrorist group holds about 1,800 women and girls, just from the capture of Yazidi towns in the region. After initial denials, the Islamic State last year issued statements acknowledging the use of sex slaves and defending the practice as consistent with ancient Islamic traditions, provided that the women are non-Muslims captured in battle or members of Muslim sects that the terrorist group regards as apostates.
A report last month by Human Rights Watch recounted the ordeals suffered by three dozen Iraqi and Syrian women who escaped from terrorist-held towns in recent months. Among the women were former Yazidi sex slaves who described abuses that included multiple rapes by different men as they were sold and traded.
The problems faced by such women appear to be growing worse as military and economic pressure against the Islamic State increases, the report said.
“The longer they are held by ISIS, the more horrific life becomes for Yazidi women, bought and sold, brutally raped, their children torn from them,” said Skye Wheeler, women’s rights emergencies researcher at Human Rights Watch. “Meanwhile, ISIS’s restrictions on [non-enslaved] Sunni women cut them off from normal life and services almost entirely.”

I’m sure mark suckaturd and those like him see it all as perfectly fine for devout muslims to engage in violation of human rights on social media. He probably calls it some politically correct perversion of truth like “apprenticed persons for hire” guaranteed to meet all your needs. It would be interesting to see who is actually engaging in these “sales”. Once upon a time civil rights fought against slavery in this country but apparently it will be making a comeback with the islamist excuse of sharia compliance.

I wonder if the terrorist was given a 24 hour time-out for the post or just a stern form email.

I can’t read the first 2 paragraphs of the article because a big ad sits there that I cannot “x” out to make it go away. Too bad, I’d like to read the whole thing.

The thought of FB being used in support of slavery- Islamic sex slavery in particular- is truly abhorrent.
Unless FB and other social media can clamp down on this sort of thing themselves, then their activities need to be regulated by governments. The days of the Internet being the Wild West are, if not over, drawing to a close.

I’d venture to say that if they stopped harassing law abiding citizens by moderating people that don’t agree with the Muslim agenda, they might effectively do the job and then some. But heck it’s Geller, Ibn Warrick, Gabriel… that are crossing Facebook’s red line!

Christian women are in slavery too. WHY THE HELL ARE CHRISTIANS RARELY MENTIONED! It is one reason most of the world thinks this happens to only Yazidis because they are the only ones cited. Geller knows better.

Maybe so, but at least their Bible doesn’t condone it. This is precisely the point; no religion condones female brutality as much as Islam. You will have women being treated poorly by people of all creeds but the creeds themselves rarely or never endorse it.

One thing you can say about necrophilia is you don’t have to worry about compatibility or having a cigarette.
On a serious note check the link. This abomination is not new and suggestive of the power of evil to slip into the minds of ignorant people who choose to follow. What is so astounding is that this is the 21st century and the glaring low intelligence in islamist culture.

Your video does give me an idea to perhaps control the rape-fugees maybe they could bring in some sheep and goats for the shelters.

There is a lot of evidence indicating islam is demon worship, every other religion has similar ethical and moral standards of conduct. islam condones every crime other religions forbid, allowing them to be acceptable behaviour for muslims.

That may be the only thing that will turn the left wing today against Islam, which they always protect. But we know that animals lives are more important to the lefties than humans, so the killing and rape of animals may lead them to see that Islam is all about hatred, rape and murder and stop protecting it, as they are so busy doing all the time.

This is the 21st century but seeing slave trading on the internet is cognitive dissonance at its worse as if some medieval culture had broken through a door to the future making use of modern technology for the many perversions of islamists.
