> women who were captured in battle with the kuffar (infidels) were akin to property and slaves of the army of Islam (a practice of the Middle Ages which had subsequently been accepted, at least theologically, as a part of Islamic war practices)

Look, bad and disagreeable, but not the claimed quote. This is a much better attack that doesn't use hyperbole.
