(Wall Street Journal) Haleh Esfandiari - ISIS fighters are "rewarded" by being allowed to have their way with captured women. To the men of ISIS, women are an inferior race, to be enjoyed for sex and be discarded, or to be sold off as slaves. From ISIS-captured territory in Syria, we saw a photograph of a line of women, covered from head to toe and tied to one another by a rope, as they were being led to a makeshift slave market. Little girls were married off to men many times their age. Although Islam requires that marriages be based on consent, consent does not appear to exist in the lexicon of ISIS fighters. Why are there are no demonstrations in Western and Muslim societies against this barbaric onslaught on women and girls? The writer, who directs the Middle East program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, was held in solitary confinement in Evin Prison in Tehran for 105 days in 2007. 2014-09-05 00:00:00Full Article
