We have yet another insight into what passes for Sharia-based feminism in the Middle East. This week we already saw an Obedient Wives’ Club calling for women to service their husbands like “high-priced prostitutes” to fulfill their duties under the Koran (Qu’ran). Now, Kuwaiti politician Salwa al Mutairi has called for the use of sex slaves, or Jawari, to satisfy the needs of “decent, devout and virile Kuwaiti men” and discourage adultery.
Salwa al Mutairi suggests using female prisoners from war-torn countries like Chechnya because being used a sex slaves would be an improvement to their lives. She notes that sex slaves are perfectly acceptable under the moral code of Sharia law and is not considered haram (or forbidden). She cites 8th century Muslim leader Haroun al-Rashid (right). Known as Haroun the Upright and Haroun the Rightly Guided) he was believed to have had 2,000 mistresses.
She has assured followers that she consulted with religious scholars in Mecca who assured her that the use of sex slaves are morally acceptable under Islam: “They said, that’s right, the only solution for a decent man who has the means, who is overpowered by desire and who does not want to commit fornication, is to acquire jawari.”
However, she insists that this can be done in a modern and enlightened way: she wants to limit sex slaves to captives older than 15. Now there is a moral code.
What is always astonishing is the obsession with sex of these religious Islamic advocates who denounce our culture is morally corrupt. It appears that adultery is a far greater moral danger to Islam than is rape and slavery.

Root myth same, yes. “Same guy”, not quite. I’m pretty sure God doesn’t ask you to kill others and yourself in holy war. Not even the Catholics call for that, and they’re among the most rigid. In short, my God forgives sin if you’re willing to try to overcome it; Allah demands blood from infidels’ bodies.
As for those of you cherry-picking quotes to make Christians look badwrongdumb, please, stop getting your theology from Shin Megami Tensei. It’s a great game series but it’s not meant to be taken as the Bible you think of it.
And finally, on the article: what is this I don’t even
Careful there CC – the God of the Jews, Christians and Muslims is the same cosmic thing. I know its probably a stretch for you to understand but Yahweh, God and Allah are all the same ‘guy’. They came from the same root myth.
While I would agree with your take on “her God” I bet that is not what you meant.
What a truly evil human being this woman is. Her and her God are both immoral. At least those who worship Satan are more honest about being immoral.
I think she is looking to keep the middle class vote. This is yet another sordid tale (or tail in this instance?) of politicians employing a redistribution of wealth for the sole purpose of gaining more power. Redistribute from those who have worked hard all their lives to enjoy the fruits of their avarice, only to have it given away to martyrs of the revolution.
Hey G.I. You want party? Me love you long time, unless you too beau coup.
Live it, love it….how can a real man have sex with a woman they don’t love….at least for the moment…..
If you read “sex slave” as “concubine,” it seems a lot more familiar. Same meaning, different word.
She seeks state sponsored theologically justified slavery.
I bet she’s charming dinner conversation.
If you eat dinner in the 10th Century.
I believe that Mme. al Mutairi would have had a slightly different theological take on the matter had she become a prisoner of war when Iraq invaded Kuwait. She may also be confusing Haroud al Rashid with Haroud al Chamberlin, also known as Wilt the Prone and Wilt the Rightly Exhausted.
Fundamentally, of course, any law which permits a human being to be subject to the whims of another human being is intrinsically immoral regardless of one’s religious tradition.
lol
There are two major groups of men on our planet who are totally baffled by the “problem” of how to relate to women.
1. Sharia Law observing Muslims.
2. American Republicans.
Pete – gosh I hope not because that would cost me another $5 & my budget is stretched already!
I noticed in my travels that, in many countries, casual sex is not considered adultery. There is an assumption that men just want to have sex and as long as there is no emotional component there is no harm to the marriage.
I don’t really know how I feel about that. It will be 38 years next Wed that I have been we and I have never had sex with anyone but my wife in that time. But I know guys that have not been faithful in a strict sense but don’t feel they broke their vows because they separate sex from love.

isn’t this what we call….;trafficking?
I’m going to bed now and hopefully will dream of a way to get off this fucking planet…..
I think that has been tried before.
I am still doing research as to whether it has ever been tried after.
The crux of the matter is which came first the bioservant or the roboservant.
The Japanese have worked out some “machines” (sex robots) that will take care of all this “religious” controversy.
At the moment I am trying to get some samples of both in order to perfect my experimental research.
Of course I won’t “move forward” until I get a permit from both the secular and religions governments involved.
It is the Weiner principle you know.
And Jesus said:
“Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, in singleness of heart, fearing God” (Colossians 3:22; see also Ephesians 6:5-6).
My take is that as long as humans subscribe to the theory that an invisible Creator might possibly think like this, few other doctrines are truly much of a stretch.
tootie blames democrats in 3 2 1…
This is mindboggling. Adultery and fornication are morally unacceptable to this woman but owning sex slaves is morally upright (if they are at least 15 years old). That leads me to think the basis for this distinction is property and the ownership of property. I would ask this religious scholar if it just wouldn’t be simpler if the man in need just ordered a blow up doll or even a fleshlight and made sure the title documents were in his name alone. What more can be said?
Hm, seems they’re less prudish than we in the UK and USA.
I wonder if their cultural concept of sex slave is the same as what we might think of it as…
The Uk and many other European countris have a long tradition of mistresses being acceptable for those who could afford it.
We are in the post ironic age. it is impossible to think up a satirical rant that could not somewhere in the world pass as conventional wisdom.
If I didn’t know I would have guessed this came from The Onion.
