Malaysian Women Joining ISIS for Sexual Jihad

Muhammad allowed his followers to practice a form of prostitution called "nikah al-mut'ah." Muslim men would agree to be married to a woman for a short period of time in order to have sex with her.

Some Muslim women are now convinced that they can please Allah by passing themselves around to jihadists.

Al-Arabiya—Three Malaysian women, apparently sympathetic to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), have reportedly travelled to the Middle East to offer themselves sexually to militants, an Malaysian intelligence official said in an interview published Wednesday.

“These women are believed to have offered themselves in sexual comfort roles to ISIS fighters,” the intelligence officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Malaysian Insider.

He added: “This concept may seem controversial but it has arisen as certain Muslim women here are showing sympathy for the ISIS.”

So-called Jihad al-nikah, permitting extramarital sexual relations with multiple partners, is considered by fringe hardline Sunni Muslim Salafists as a legitimate form of holy war.

“Intelligence exchanged with other countries revealed that Sunni Muslim women from Australia and the United Kingdom had also joined up with ISIS,” said the intelligence official. (Continue Reading.)

Former Sex Worker Confirms That Islam Allows Nikah al-Mut'ah (Temporary Marriage as a Form of Prostitution)

According to both Sunni sources and Shia sources, Muhammad allowed his followers to practice a form of prostitution called "nikah al-mut'ah." If a Muslim wants to have sex with a prostitute, he simply needs her to agree to temporary marriage in exchange for a sum of money (e.g., "We agree to be married for one hour, in exchange for $100"). The Muslim then gets to have sex with the prostitute, and it's perfectly acceptable to Allah.

Sunni Muslims often claim that nikah al-mut'ah was eventually outlawed by Muhammad. What they don't tell you is that Sunni sources also claim that it was Umar (rather than Muhammad) who outlawed mut'ah and that the Qur'an itself guarantees a Muslim's right to have sex with prostitutes (click here to read the sources).

It should come as no surprise, then, that mut'ah is quite common, as confirmed by a former sex worker who shared this comment in response to one of our videos on mut'ah:

Oddly enough, Muslims in the West continue to tell us that Muhammad's teachings are pure and holy.

Nikah al-Mut'ah (Islamic Prostitution) in Indonesia

The Muslim sources are filled with passages proving that Muhammad allowed his followers to practice temporary marriage (nikah al-mut'ah), a form of prostitution. Here's a video describing the practice in Indonesia:

Yet Westernized Muslims assure us that Muhammad eventually outlawed temporary marriage (certain Muslim sources suggest this). These Muslims fail to mention, however, that some of Islam's most trusted sources plainly declare that Muhammad never prohibited mut'ah. For instance, the following passage in Sahih Muslim says that Muslims were practicing mut'ah well beyond the lifetime of Muhammad:

Sahih Muslim 3248—Ibn Uraij reported: 'Ati' reported that Jabir b. Abdullah came to perform 'Umra, and we came to his abode, and the people asked him about different things, and then they made a mention of temporary marriage, whereupon he said: Yes, we had been benefiting ourselves by this temporary marriage during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet and during the time of Abu Bakr and ‘Umar.

Some hadith claim that it was Umar, rather than Muhammad, who outlawed mut'ah:

Sahih Muslim 3250—Abu Nadra reported: While I was in the company of Jabir b. Abdullah, a person came to him and said that Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn Zubair differed on the two types of Mut'a (Tamattu’ of Hajj 1846 and Tamattu’ with women), whereupon Jabir said: We used to do these two during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger. Umar then forbade us to do them, and so we did not revert to them.

According to Sahih al-Bukhari (Sunni Islam's most trusted collection of ahadith), mut'ah is justified by the Qur'an itself! Consider the following verse from the Qur'an:

Qur'an 5:87—O ye who believe! Forbid not the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress not, Lo! Allah loveth not transgressors.

Notice how this verse was used by Muhammad:

Sahih al-Bukhari 5079—We used to participate in the holy battles led by Allah's Messenger and we had nothing (no wives) with us. So we said, "Shall we get ourselves castrated?" He forbade us that and then allowed us to marry a woman temporarily by giving her even a garment and then he recited to us: "O you who believe! Make not unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you." (5.87)

Hence, Muslim men who want to hire prostitutes can simply point out that both the Qur'an (the Word of Allah) and Muhammad (Islam's final prophet) allowed prostitution, and that later Muslims (like Umar) cannot overrule Allah and Muhammad.

Muhammad and Nikah al-Mut'ah (Temporary Marriage as a Form of Prostitution)

The Prophet of Islam allowed his followers to practice a form of prostitution called Nikah al-Mut'ah. In Muhammad's time, a Muslim could pay a woman for "temporary marriage," which would last a few hours, days, weeks, or months (depending on the agreement). Many Muslims today claim that Muhammad eventually changed his mind about this obviously immoral practice, and that Mut'ah is now forbidden in Islam (certain Muslim sources suggest this). But these Muslims fail to mention that some of Islam's most trusted sources plainly declare that Muhammad never prohibited Mut'ah. For instance, the following passage in Sahih Muslim says that Muslims were practicing Mut'ah well beyond the lifetime of Muhammad:

The Prophet of Islam allowed his followers to practice a form of prostitution called Muta.

Many Muslims today claim that Muhammad eventually changed his mind about this obviously immoral practice, and that Muta is now forbidden in Islam (certain Muslim sources suggest this).

Umar then forbade us to do them, and so we did not revert to them.

Hence, Muslim men who want to hire prostitutes can simply point out that Muhammad, Islam's final prophet, allowed prostitution, and that later Muslims (like Umar) cannot overrule Muhammad. Moreover, since Muhammad allowed sex with prepubescent girls, pedophiles are free to seek out child prostitutes. That's exactly what's happening in Syrian refugee camps.

While the overall accuracy of this news report is excellent, the narrator makes one important (politically correct) blunder. After pointing out that Sharia allows marriage to "very young girls," she says that this is only an "extreme interpretation" of Sharia, for "Islamic law rejects forced marriage in principle." She seems to be confusing a few different concepts here, so let's separate and clarify them.

First, as I have pointed out, there is some disagreement in the Muslim sources as to whether Muta is allowed today. Nevertheless, since there are strong narrations reporting that Muhammad never prohibited Muta, any Muslim who signs a temporary marriage contract can easily defend his actions.

Second, there is no disagreement whatsoever in the Muslim sources as to whether a grown man can marry a prepubescent girl. Both the Qur'an and the Hadith allow men to marry prepubescent girls, and Muhammad himself married and had sex with Aisha when she was only nine years old. Thus, it's simply false to say that marriage to young girls is only allowed under an "extreme interpretation" of Sharia. Marriage to young girls is permitted under any serious interpretation of Sharia.

Third, the narrator believes that Islamic law forbids "forced marriage," and she thinks that these marriages qualify as "forced" because the girls' families are pressuring them. But family pressure (e.g., "You must do this for your family") has nothing to do with the Islamic concept of forced marriage. As long as a girl or woman gives verbal consent to marriage, or even if she remains silent when asked, the marriage does not count as forced. Notice that Umm Majid (the "marriage broker") specifically says to the girls, "I have a 70-year-old Saudi, who wants a girl no older than 13 years. Who of you wants to meet him?" One of the girls responds, "Me." Umm Majid obtains the girl's consent in order to make the marriage fully Sharia-compliant.

So we see once again the depressing fruits of Muhammad's teachings and example. The Prophet of Islam allowed his followers to practice Muta. He allowed his followers to marry prepubescent girls. He allowed men to beat their wives. The result? Wealthy Saudis are taking young Muslim girls back to their hotels, beating and raping them, and it's all perfectly in line with Sharia. (The same thing is happening in Egypt.)

Where are CAIR and ISNA when these little girls are being raped? It seems that Muslim organizations in the West are too busy complaining about Islamophobia to care much about the horrendous abuse of vulnerable little girls in the Middle East. Indeed, many Muslims get far more upset about people like me reporting the abuse than they do about the abuse itself.

You can learn a lot about a religion by noticing what tends to outrage its adherents. Welcome to Islam.

Kuwaiti Shaykh Yasir al-Habib Defends Temporary Marriage (Muta)

Hezbollah Using Prostitution (Muta) for Recruitment

In the following video, the "Young Turks" seem convinced that Hezbollah invented "Muta" (temporary marriage). The broadcasters acknowledge the obvious, namely, that Muta is a form of prostitution. However, they don't believe that Islam would ever allow such a practice.



Now for a healthy dose of reality. Both Sunnis and Shias agree that Muhammad allowed his followers to practice Muta. Shias generally believe that the practice is still permissible, while Sunnis typically claim that Muhammad eventually abrogated the practice.

What Sunni scholars fail to mention, however, is that even their most reliable sources are thoroughly inconsistent. Some Sunni ahadith state that Muhammad outlawed Muta, while others declare that the practice was banned by the Caliph Umar, not by Muhammad.

Indeed, according to a Hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari (Sunni Islam's most trusted collection of ahadith), Muta is justified by the Qur'an itself! Consider the following verse from the Qur'an:

Qur'an 5:87—O ye who believe! Forbid not the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress not, Lo! Allah loveth not transgressors.

Now let's see how this verse was used by Muhammad:

Sahih al-Bukhari 5079—We used to participate in the holy battles led by Allah's Messenger and we had nothing (no wives) with us. So we said, "Shall we get ourselves castrated?" He forbade us that and then allowed us to marry a woman temporarily by giving her even a garment and then he recited to us: "O you who believe! Make not unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you." (5.87)

Hence, Muhammad quoted the Qur'an to justify Muta!

So if Muhammad allowed his followers to engage in prostitution, why do Sunni Muslims today believe that Islam doesn't allow Muta? According to some of Muhammad's companions, it was Umar (not Muhammad) who outlawed the practice:

Sahih Muslim 3250—Abu Nadra reported: While I was in the company of Jabir b. Abdullah, a person came to him and said that Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn Zubair differed on the two types of Muta, whereupon Jabir said: We used to do these two during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger. Umar then forbade us to do them, and so we did not revert to them.

Indeed, Muslims continued to practice Muta until Umar stopped them:

Sahih Muslim 3248—Ibn Uraij reported: 'Ati' reported that Jabir b. Abdullah came to perform 'Umra, and we came to his abode, and the people asked him about different things, and then they made a mention of temporary marriage, whereupon he said: Yes, we had been benefiting ourselves by this temporary marriage during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet and during the time of Abu Bakr and ‘Umar.

But how can Umar abrogate Muhammad's commands, especially when the Qur'an allows Muta? Apparently, Umar's supporters weren't comfortable saying that Umar abrogated Muta. Thus, they began circulating false ahadith, according to which Muhammad himself banned the practice:

Sahih al-Bukhari 5115—Narrated Ali: I said to Ibn Abbas, "During the battle of Khaibar the Prophet forbade Muta and the eating of donkey's meat."

How does all of this cash out for Muslims today? Well, if a Sunni Muslim is offended at the thought of prostitution in Islam, he can quote ahadith saying that Muhammad put an end to Muta. If, however, a Sunni Muslim wants to have sex with a prostitute, he can quote other ahadith, which say that Muhammad and the Qur'an allow Muta. Islam's teachings, then, depend on a Muslim's preferences!

For Shias, on the other hand, there's no such difficulty. Muhammad allowed Muta, so they still practice Muta. Hezbollah is even using it as a recruiting tool. Much like their prophet, they lure people to Islamic terrorism through promises of sex.

Temporary Marriage in Iran

To combat the problem of premarital sex in Iran, leaders are reinstituting the practice of Muta, or temporary marriage, in accordance with the teachings of Muhammad. (The early Muslim sources are not consistent on this issue.) You can read about the movement in Iran in this article from Fox News:
