Libya: African migrants sold as slaves in slave markets
Does this have anything to do with Islam?
Why, certainly.
We constantly hear in the West that Islam forbids slavery.
Reality is otherwise.
The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50)
Africans trying to reach Europe are being sold by their captors in “slave markets” in Libya, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) says.
Victims told IOM that after being detained by people smugglers or militia groups, they were taken to town squares or car parks to be sold.
Women, too, were bought by private Libyan clients and brought to homes where they were forced to be sex slaves, the witness said.
