Islamic State jihadists have given detailed theological reasons justifying why they have taken thousands of women from the Iraqi Yazidi minority and sold them into sex slavery.
A new article in the Islamic State English-language online magazine Dabiq not only admits the practice but justifies it according to the theological rulings of early Islam.
"After capture, the Yazidi women and children were then divided according to the Sharia amongst the fighters of the Islamic State who participated," the article says.
It says there is a difference between women from Muslim sects the jihadists regard as heretical, who can be considered as "apostates", and the so-called mushrikin - polytheists and pagans.
"Their women could be enslaved, unlike female apostates."
The article does not specify that they are to be used as sex slaves, but later on equates them with "concubines".
It says that "well-known" rules are observed, including not separating mothers from their children - something which may account for the number of teenage girls being used in this way, according to their families.
It says that 20 per cent of women are being taken in this way, in accordance with rules demanding a fifth of property captured in war to be handed over as tax.
The women are also given the chance to convert to Islam.
"This large-scale enslavement of mushrik families is probably the first since the abandonment of this sharia law," the article says.

I am sure this will be covered in this week’s White House briefing and if not, then NBC will bring it up in questions. < /S >
It wasn’t a state either.
They are merely emulating Muhammad as they are commanded to by the Koran. Muhhamed would approve of what ISIS is doing
The ISIS guys need to have a beer summit with Obama so he can understand that.
I thought they were allowed to do this under their Religion of Peace, Islam. Obviously we have bunch of religious bigots in the crowd./s
As bad as this is, it is not the real “War on Women” as ISIS is not the GOP.
Then islam has proved itself to be a modern evil that needs wiping out. There is no other conclusion as a woman.
There is an appropriate response to this behavior, but unfortunately Obama is not enough of a man to do it. If it was my wife, sister, or daughter, I am too old for in-person retribution, but I would want to hire Blackwater to work on balancing the scales. Raping and enslaving women should carry an appropriate penalty.
It’s a shame the democrat “war of women” meme doesn’t include any actual defense of real women. The United States military could solve this problem if the community organizer was willing to put military boots on the ground in a war zone and not just in an epidemic zone.
