An Islamic cleric has cleared the path for rebels in Syria, who are trying to oust President Bashar Assad, to rape women, so long as they’re non-Sunni.

Salafi Sheikh Yasir al-Ajlawni, who hails from Jordan but who lived in Damascus for 17 years, sent a message via YouTube: It’s a “legitimate fatwa” for Muslims waging war against Mr. Assad and trying to put in place a Sharia government to “capture and have sex with” Alawites and other non-Sunni, non-Muslim women, Human Events reports. Mr. Assad is part of the Alawites sect.

In the video, the cleric called non-Muslim women by their Arabic term, “melk al-yamin,” Human Events reports. The term is from the Koran and refers to non-Muslim sex slaves, Human Events says.

This isn’t the first time Islamists have called for the raping of women.

A preacher in Saudi Arabi, Muhammad al-Arifi, sent forth a fatwa a few months ago giving jihadi fighters the right to have “intercourse marriage” with Syrian women they caught, and for that act to take enough time “to give each fighter a turn,” Human Events reports.

That's some sick sh|te.

Still, seems a carnal delight must be awarded, if'n these fellas are to stay motivated.

It seems they want their 12 virgins a bit in advance. The kenyans war on women is working ....

I did, and I'm saying that's not Islam. There's a reason why folks won't post this trash in the Middle Eastern forum.

If a Catholic priest is busted for pedophilia.... Which forum should that "trash" be posted?

I smell biased hypocrisy.

Most victimized in Syria? Young Christian women Fatwa allows capture, rape of non-Muslim females

Syria’s young Christian women are bearing the biggest brunt of the two-year-old civil war, according to a human rights group.

The report by Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, released by Open Doors USA, estimates there have been more than 100,000 casualties since the war’s beginning in 2011.

Five thousand of those casualties are children under the age of 16.

Open Doors spokesman Jerry Dykstra told WND that a disproportionate number of the casualties are young Christian women and girls.

“The fact is there have been reports of rape of women and girls in Christian communities of Syria. In some of the areas, students stay home from school and church. One report said 5,000 children 16 and below have been killed in the war,” Dykstra said.

International Christian Concern’s Middle East area specialist Todd Daniels says that non-Muslim Christian women are the target of a fatwa, a religious instruction under Islam.

“Women, especially those who are non-Sunni, have been particularly affected by the influx of militant Islamic extremists,” Daniels said. “They have taken to abusing non-Sunni women who are viewed as infidels or worse.”

He said the fatwa is an “example of the kind of ideology that is not only permitting but in some instances even encouraging treatment of these women in what is really an inhumane way.”

The fatwa was issued by Jordan-born Salafi cleric Sheikh Yasir al-Ajlawni, who said Muslims fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad can legally “capture and have sex with all non-Sunni women.”

Daniels says that means the sheik is permitting rape of all non-Muslim women. Even though the fatwa includes all non-Sunni women, he said, Syria’s Christian women are getting the worst treatment.

Daniels said he has met with Syrian who still have close links to the country and has heard a number of stories of attacks.

“There have been a lot of refugees who have fled from the Qusair region to Damascus, and they have very bad stories of what they are experiencing,” Daniels said.

A young Syrian Christian woman told WND through Open Doors that before the war, Christians were on the fringes. She said that now they’re rebel targets.

“We Christians have no voice in Syria. We are people of the margin. But on the other hand I see that Christians now started wearing a cross, to show that they are Christians,” she said. “In some areas, for example in Homs, Christians were spared because of being a Christian. Now Christians are seen as with the government and can be killed.”

She said she fears retribution from the rebels.

“Whatever we did as Christians, we will be blamed for that, I fear. We will be punished. Before the crisis the government protected Christians, now I am afraid for our lives,” the Syrian Christian woman said.

Center for Security Policy Senior Fellow Clare Lopez said the treatment of Christian girls and young women is tragic but not surprising.

“In any war zone, and especially in the refugee camps, there are going to be incidences of rape,” Lopez said.

“I’m not sure of the numbers, but in any war situation, there will be those who prey on the refugee camps and there will be violence, and likely rape, against the women.”

The casualty figures vary from report to report, but Dykstra verifies the numbers in reports issued by Open Doors USA and the report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

International Christian Union President Joseph Hakim believes that the Syrian civil war is being used as a pretext for getting rid of Christians.

He told WND the Christians are being forced out of their native cities, towns and villages.

“I feel that I am being accurate in calling what is happening genocide,” he said.

“The bloodletting in Syria is simply finishing off the work that was left behind by the Ottoman Turks.”

Where is Sandra Fluke when we need her.

An America in which our president, when he hears a young woman has been verbally attacked, thinks of his daughters—not his delegates or donors—and stands with all women. And strangers come together, reach out and lift her up. And then, instead of trying to silence her, you invite me here—and give me a microphone—to amplify our voice. That's the difference.

Over the last six months, I've seen what these two futures look like. And six months from now, we'll all be living in one, or the other. But only one. A country where our president either has our back or turns his back; a country that honors our foremothers by moving us forward, or one that forces our generation to re-fight the battles they already won; a country where we mean it when we talk about personal freedom, or one where that freedom doesn't apply to our bodies and our voices.

We talk often about choice. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to choose.

This is the side the Kenyan wants to help in Syria. A Christian town was just overrun by the rebels a few days ago. Are the gang rapes still going on after a week or two. Where are the liberals speaking up for these women..?

No, what you smell is someone who is sick and tired of being huddled in with the trash. If a Catholic Priest is a pedophile, that has nothing to do with the religion. That's all on him. I can tell the difference, can you?

It's bad enough being black gets you all types of stereotypes and as a people I have to carry whatever issues happen within the community on my shoulders. But being a black Muslim? Good Grief.

What about African countries that cause atrocities without using religion as a excuse? What about the wars that happen in Eurpoean countries in the name of Christianity? Like I said, go talk to the folks like WOM or Sarah. All you want to do is bash Islam.

I'm calling BS.

Public outrage against the Catholics in general resulted.

Too many Islamists hide behind "sick and tired of being huddled in with the trash". When do the sick & tired decide to do something about their fellow Islamists?

I suppose we should all just turn a blind eye to pedophiles and fanatics. Just pretend there isn't a fundamental flaw in the organization.

I know Catholics which are absolutely embarrassed & outraged by the Pedophilia ....They organized & demanded accountability.

Islamists - I hear the crickets.

What are you smoking? How many times did priests get reported and not a single thing was done? How many were shuffled around and moved to other churches to keep molesting children? How many times did the higher ups step in and protect their own?

It's been going on for the last 50 years.

And many muslims are outraged and upset anytime someone kills or commits atrocities, but those voices get drowned out over this dribble.
