ISIS, a terrorist organization known for its extreme violence and brutality, has committed numerous atrocities against Muslims around the world. These acts include:
— Mass Killings and Executions: ISIS has carried out mass killings and executions of Muslims who do not adhere to their extremist ideology. These atrocities have resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent Muslims.
— Sexual Enslavement and Gender-Based Violence: ISIS has abducted and enslaved thousands of Muslim women and girls, subjecting them to horrific sexual violence and abuse. They have also forced Muslim men and boys to become soldiers or suicide bombers.
There are numerous inhumane acts committed by ISIS, but we will explain some of them to you.
Firstly, in 2014, ISIS in Iraq and Syria enslaved young Yazidi girls under the age of 11.
Secondly, Daesh-Khawarij forcefully married girls in the Qush Tepa and Darzab districts of Jowzjan province, and sexually abused young boys.
A young boy, nicknamed Abdullah, said, «ISIS sent them to their military center for sexual harassment.»
Abdullah also added, «There were around 50 other boys with Daesh who were abused by them.»
Displaced families from Darzab also stated that Daesh took their young children to military centers with the intention of subjecting them to sexual harassment. The extent of their cruelty knows no bounds.
Thirdly, in 2018, 250 ISIS fighters surrendered to the previous government in Jawzjan, most of whom were young boys. So, did ISIS keep these boys for war or sexual harassment?
These are not their only actions, as they are willing to do anything to expand their group.
On 8/8/2023, Salam Times published a deeply concerning report stating that Kurdish officials have informed Al-Mashareq about ISIS women living in al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria pressuring young boys to join their cause and impregnate them. This sickening ploy is nothing short of an attempt to train the next generation of ISIS fighters, perpetuating their extremist ideologies.
Furthermore, Daesh has such depraved morals that they engage in sexual relations with the women of their friends and only fulfill their own desires.
In 2019, Kabul .Com aired the harrowing story of a woman named Shabana.
Shabana shares, «On the night of my husband’s funeral, another ISIS member sexually assaulted me.»
Shabana, now 21 years old, has three children from three different husbands,
a testament to the traumatic experiences she has endured.
Few months ago, she surrendered to the government in Nangarhar province along with some Daesh families.
Now, she resolutely aims to return to her hometown in Waziristan, seeking solace and a chance to rebuild her life.
These accounts and incidents portray the true nature of ISIS, an organization that goes to extreme lengths to propagate their twisted agenda.
It is imperative that we stand united in condemning their actions and work towards a future where such atrocities are eradicated from society.
In fact, one thing that stands out about the evil group ISIS is that they have a lot of young girls and women from different countries in the Middle East and beyond.
Even though most of the ISIS fighters are criminals and extremists, they have been able to attract many women and young girls.
A study done by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found that many women from Western countries are in danger of joining ISIS. They focused on women who are between 16 and 24 years old. It also found that most of the women who have joined ISIS are young, between 13 and 21 years old.
All the women who have joined the ranks of ISIS are divided into two categories. Either they are the girls who have joined for religious reasons by marrying an ISIS fighter, or they are women who became victims of the false promises portrayed by ISIS in the media.
According to the fatwa issued by Khawarij muftis, women are expected to act as sex slaves for the ISIS fighters in order to satisfy their needs and reduce their frustration on the battlefield. This fatwa is shameful and disgraceful. As a result of this, there are children born among ISIS whose fathers are unknown.
Analysts say that one of the most important strategies of ISIS, in terms of threatening the world in the long term, is using children born to ISIS women. These children are used to create instability and carry out physical and suicide attacks.
The well-known British research center, Quilliam, published a report in 2016 stating that 31,000 pregnant women are under the control of ISIS members.
Former ISIS leaders have also confessed that, when it comes to captive women, they were allowed to kill them and use them for sexual relations.
Haitham Abdul Hamid, a significant member of ISIS and the previous leader of the borders, known as Rashid al-Masri, stated in an interview with Al-Waqiyah TV in Egypt:
«We had the option to either kill captured women or keep them alive for sexual activity. A woman who was captured by ISIS could be sold for as much as $10,000 for sex.»
He further mentioned, «Women who came from other countries and joined ISIS were sexually attacked by important members of the organization.»
Ammar Hussain, a member of ISIS who was captured by the Kurds and appeared in a recorded interview, stated on February 15, 2017, «Our leaders told us that it is acceptable for us to have relationships with women to satisfy our needs.»
He goes on to say, «Personally, I had sexual relationships with more than 200 women, and it was seen as a normal practice within ISIS to engage in such activities with a group.»
— Forced Conversions and Religious Persecution: ISIS has forced Muslims to convert to their extremist idealogy or face death. They have also destroyed mosques and other religious sites, and persecuted Muslims for practicing their faith.
— Destruction of Cultural and Historical Sites: ISIS has deliberately destroyed cultural and historical sites of significance to Muslims, including mosques, shrines, and ancient artifacts. This destruction is an attempt to erase Muslim heritage and identity.
— Displacement and Refugee Crisis: ISIS’s violence has forced millions of Muslims to flee their homes and become refugees. These displaced people often face discrimination, poverty, and limited access to basic services.
