This is the face of the ISIS sex slave market

[MMC]

Just look at this, shes 18 yrs old....

Lamiya Aji Bashar, an 18-year-old Yazidi girl who escaped her Islamic State group enslavers


The advertisement on the Telegram app is as chilling as it is incongruous: A girl for sale is “Virgin. Beautiful. 12 years old…. Her price has reached $12,500 and she will be sold soon.” The posting in Arabic appeared on an encrypted conversation along with ads for kittens, weapons and tactical gear. It was shared with the Associated Press by an activist with the minority Yazidi community, whose women and children are being held as sex slaves by the extremists.

While the Islamic State group is losing territory in its self-styled caliphate, it is tightening its grip on the estimated 3,000 women and girls held as sex slaves. In a fusion of ancient barbaric practices and modern technology, IS sells the women like chattel on smartphone apps and shares databases that contain their photographs and the names of their “owners” to prevent their escape through IS checkpoints. The fighters are assassinating smugglers who rescue the captives, just as funds to buy the women out of slavery are drying up.


The thousands of Yazidi women and children were taken prisoner in August 2014, when IS fighters overran their villages in northern Iraq with the aim to eliminate the Kurdish-speaking minority because of its ancient faith. Since then, Arab and Kurdish smugglers managed to free an average of 134 people a month. But by May, an IS crackdown reduced those numbers to just 39 in the last six weeks, according to figures provided by the Kurdistan regional government.


Mirza Danai, founder of the German-Iraqi aid organization Luftbrucke Irak, said in the last two or three months, escape has become more difficult and dangerous.


They register every slave, every person under their owner, and therefore if she escapes, every Daesh control or checkpoint, or security force — they know that this girl … has escaped from this owner,” he said, using the Arabic acronym for the group.

Yep, the NY Post reported on that in 2016. CNN also reported about women selling their daughters to the Sex slave Industry.

Which is also the Human trafficking problem.


Its even a bigger problem in Southeast Asia.

I suspected Midcan would somehow condone the practice because "after all, we do it too".

He's not condoning the practice. His intent is to diffuse blame so that there are no actual targets for our disgust. Apparently, the priority of people like midcan is to make sure no one is "scapegoated". It's a compulsion some (typically white) people have and it's not limited to progressives. We have a libertarian member who does it all the time. You start a thread about religious extremism in the Islamic world and you get "but Christians!". This is just a variant of that practice.

The research said most weapons were looted from the Iraqi and Syrian armies, however, some were originally supplied by other nations involved in the conflict to Syrian opposition groups fighting against President Bashar al-Assad.

About 90 percent of weapons and ammunition used by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) originated in China, Russia, and Eastern Europe, with Russian-made weapons outnumbering those of any other country.
"These findings support widespread assumptions that the group initially captured much of its military material from Iraqi and Syrian government forces," said the report.
The monitoring group said Western-produced arms and ammunition represented the remaining 10 percent.

I mis spoke and you are 100% correct. He neither condones or condemns any action other than actions taken by this country. Everything else is how we are guilty as well so we shouldn't point fingers. To me, I can't understand how he can equate what is going on with these young girls in the Middle East with the worse of what is happening here. In not one instance in the West is this type of behavior assisted by the government. With these animals this is government policy.

BTW, I saw the practice of diversion and moral equivalency when I was working for Yellow Freight in a union office. If you attempted to write up a union member for even the most egregious behavior the union rep would always counter with some minor infraction committed by another member that was overlooked. We are supposed to in Midcan's eyes overlook ISIS because Jeffrey Epstein had sex with young girls or some mentally deranged individual kept several girls prisoner in his home for years.

Oh noes.....90% originated from China and Russia, along with Eastern Europe. PJL will need to get new talking points from his Masters. Who would have ka-thunked that.

It's weird. People like this quickly acknowledge that X is a bad thing but then launch into a lament about scapegoating and assure us that everyone does X. I never understood this compulsion. All I can say is that such people have some seriously $#@!ed up priorities.

In the case of your anecdote, it makes sense. The union guy has something to gain. There's a rational purpose even if it's base and despicable. What does midcan stand to gain? A pat on the back for being such an awesome person? I guess this is what they call virtue signaling.

That was from his own link. lol

That was from his own link. lol

So was this.....(lol) : ""Even when the Iran deal was only at an interim and fragile stage in 2013, the Saudis were so affronted they rejected a seat for which they had vigorously lobbied on the UN Security Council. But differences between Washington and Riyadh had been steadily accumulating — starting with the fact that it was mainly Saudi terrorists, on orders of the Saudi Osama bin Laden, who struck America on 9/11." However the real reason for Iraqi fury at Obama goes further back. In fact, it appears that all current events are shaped by the disastrous foreign policy of Obama's early years, namely the US intervention behind the Arab Spring: The Saudis could never reconcile themselves to the US-led invasion of Iraq, not because it toppled Saddam Hussein but because it led to Shia majority rule in an Arab country. When Hosni Mubarak was toppled by Egypt’s popular revolt in 2011, Riyadh accused Mr Obama of betraying a US ally. Saudi perceptions of US complacency in the face of Iran’s advances in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen are a grievance far outweighing western perceptions of Isis jihadism as the main threat in and from the Middle East. But the punchline: Saudi's admission that it itself created Daesh, or ISIS. As for the twist: as the late Saudi foreign minister says, the Saudis only created ISIS in response to Obama's disastrous policy in the region. To wit: After the Iraqi city of Mosul fell to a lightning Isis offensive in 2014, even the late Prince Saud al-Faisal, the respected Saudi foreign minister, remonstrated with John Kerry, US secretary of state, that “Daesh [Isis] is our [Sunni] response to your support for the Da’wa” — the Tehran-aligned Shia Islamist ruling party of Iraq. And there you have it, and as a reminder, the person who was in charge of US foreign policy during this entire period was none other than..."

and this.....(lol).."How far is Saudi Arabia complicit in the Isis takeover of much of northern Iraq, and is it stoking an escalating Sunni-Shia conflict across the Islamic world? Some time before 9/11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: "The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally 'God help the Shia'. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them." The fatal moment predicted by Prince Bandar may now have come for many Shia, with Saudi Arabia playing an important role in bringing it about by supporting the anti-Shia jihad in Iraq and Syria. Since the capture of Mosul by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) on 10 June, Shia women and children have been killed in villages south of Kirkuk, and Shia air force cadets machine-gunned and buried in mass graves near Tikrit.In Mosul, Shia shrines and mosques have been blown up, and in the nearby Shia Turkoman city of Tal Afar 4,000 houses have been taken over by Isis fighters as "spoils of war". Simply to be identified as Shia or a related sect, such as the Alawites, in Sunni rebel-held parts of Iraq and Syria today, has become as dangerous as being a Jew was in Nazi-controlled parts of Europe in 1940. There is no doubt about the accuracy of the quote by Prince Bandar, secretary-general of the Saudi National Security Council from 2005 and head of General Intelligence between 2012 and 2014, the crucial two years when al-Qa'ida-type jihadis took over the Sunni-armed opposition in Iraq and Syria. Speaking at the Royal United Services Institute last week, Dearlove, who headed MI6 from 1999 to 2004, emphasised the significance of Prince Bandar's words, saying that they constituted "a chilling comment that I remember very well indeed".He does not doubt that substantial and sustained funding from private donors in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to which the authorities may have turned a blind eye, has played a central role in the Isis surge into Sunni areas of Iraq. He said: "Such things simply do not happen spontaneously." This sounds realistic since the tribal and communal leadership in Sunni majority provinces is much beholden to Saudi and Gulf paymasters, and would be unlikely to cooperate with Isis without their consent.
