This is the Anfal, the spoils of war, in the view of the jihadis.
Rape and enslavement of captives were among the biggest incentives that Muhammad offered his recruits, for participating in his early raids and later conquests.
In this report, they state that Turkish Military officers are participating in the rapes. We can’t tell the degree that may or may not be true, but it reflects an ominous islamistization of the Turkish Military if true, and if it is not prosecuted by their chain of command.
That phenomena occurred in Pakistan, where officers with relatively Western values/morality, led by Sandhurst graduates, has been replaced over time with an increasingly islamist orientation among their officer corps.
A fish rots from the head down.
Thanks for that observation.
I do not doubt anything in the article. If it were not true, I would not have been told about it. It was impossible to post on Twitter using the original source URL from both in Syria and from inside the U.S. (I tried, suceed 1 time with tiny URL bit shortener. Suspect that is no longer workable either)
