A female professor from the renowned Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, says that Muslim men are allowed by Allah to rape non-Muslim women in order to “humiliate” them. Professor Suad Saleh made the bold claims while being interviewed on Al-Hayat TV. The professor says that the rape is allowed during times of “legitimate war” between Muslims and their enemies.

LiveLeak posted the startling video which shows the interview of the Islamic female professor Suad Saleh as she spoke on Al-Hayat TV. In the video, Suad Saleh is seemingly trying to discourage the purchase of slaves from Asian countries for sexual purposes. Instead, she says that Allah has given the Muslim men a way to have sexual relations with slave women that is “legitimate.” Saleh suggests that the only time it is acceptable for Muslim men to enslave a woman for sexual purposes is during a “legitimate war” between Muslims and their enemies such as that with Israel. Therefore, the female Islamic professor says that enslaving Israeli women and raping them would be entirely acceptable and encouraged.

In the video transcript provided by The Middle East Media Research Institute, Professor Suad Saleh says that slavery existed before Islam and anyone could trade “freeborn men and women” which was the equivalent to human organ trade. However, she says Islam put slavery “into order” by regulating when slavery was allowed. Saleh claims that Islam clearly defines when slavery is allowed and when it isn’t. She says the only “legitimately-owned slaves come from among prisoners from a war.” Therefore, she says Muslim men currently taking women from East Asia for sexual purposes are acting against Allah and against the Islamic faith. Instead, she says these men should be taking female prisoners of war for sexual purposes as a means to humiliate them.

“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.”
