Jihadis of the "Islamic State" have released a document detailing what "owners" are permitted to do with enslaved women. The fatwa is a part of documents seized by the US army in May, according to Reuters news agency.
US soldiers retrieved a huge trove of documents during a raid in Syria in May this year. The fatwa was one among many such rulings passed by "Islamic State" (IS) militants, who have captured vast swathes of Iraq and Syria.
"Some of the brothers have committed violations in the matter of the treatment of the female slaves. These violations are not permitted by Sharia law, because these rules have not been dealt with in ages, " said a document titled "ISIL committee of research and fatwas" published by Reuters news agency.

How, after that can I not suspect that someone thinks its important for me to see enemies as evil as possible?
Interventionist reasoning isn't based on much other than seeing the enemy's values contrasted to our own. The juxtaposition is a powerful as a clash of titans.

Probably not a good idea to use actual propaganda as an example while trying to refute a false claim of propaganda. At the least, it confuses the issue.

(36,063 posts)I do know that psy-ops aren't just conspiracy theory. I remember tales of Iraqi troops killing babies in Kuwaiti incubators. . .
I thereby turn this problem along the axis of who benefits from this narrative? The answer I is someone who wants me to judge isil and find it evil.
So why would those anonymous someones want me to think that?

(27,169 posts)But, at least Judaism and Christianity have MOSTLY modernized.
Their scriptures haven't, but their practice has.
Islam is lagging behind the other two, but they are all patriarchal systems at heart.
