CAIRO: An islamic professor Saud Saleh from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt has allegedly claimed Muslim men are allowed by Allah to rape non-Muslim women in order to “humiliate” them which has opened up a new gate for hot debate in western countries.
In a television interview Saleh appears to try to discourage the purchase of slaves from Asian countries for sex, claiming Allah has given Muslim men a “legitimate” way to have sexual relations with slave women.
It is believed she claimed the only “legitimately owned slaves come from among prisoners from a war”.
Saleh allegedly said: “The female prisoners of wars are ‘those whom you own’.
“In order to humiliate them, they become the property of the army commander, or of a Muslim, and he can have sex with them just like he has sex with his wives.”
Dr Andrew Holt, professor of history at Florida State College, said Saleh’s alleged comments are disheartening coming from a professor from “Sunni Islam’s most prestigious university” which is more than 1,000 years old.
He is concerned the statements could be viewed as approval for the enslavement of Yazidi women by barbaric ISIS – also known as Daesh.
