"A number of Tunisian girls who had travelled to Syria to perform “sexual jihad” there have returned back home pregnant, Tunisian Interior Minister Lotfi Bin Jeddo said on Thursday." The former Mufti of Tunisia Sheikh Othman Battikh said: "For Jihad in Syria, they are now pushing girls to go there. 13 young girls have been sent for sexual jihad. What is this? This is called prostitution. It is moral educational corruption."
But jihad looks like a magical term, and magical terms trump any analysis. (Remember when the Taliban (then ruling Afghanistan) was trying to get land mines out, and declared a jihad against land mines?)
Prostitution doesn't have to be associated with jihad, of course.
UPDATE: The France24 version of the story doesn't mention prostitution at all. Curious.
It took a while for me to even make a connection what they were pretending to say about jihad. Comfort to male combatants, I'm thinking? Weird.
ReplyDeleteYep. Do your part for the jihad by bringing comfort to the fighters. It's jihad, so it must be good, right?
ReplyDeleteIIRC, jihadists were supposed to take their "comfort women" from the slaves they captured fighting the infidels, but I'm not one of the ulema. Maybe the rules change in a civil war jihad.
