I thought this level of off-the-charts anti-Muslim misinformation was going out of fashion, after enough people in the West started realizing how much of a knuckle-dragging lie-strewn psyop it all was.
What's it doing here on HN?

Some good reading material: ( https://www.brandeis.edu/projects/fse/muslim/slavery.html )
> the Prophet Muhammad, for example, kept a slave-concubine (Mariya the Copt) who was given to him as a gift by the Roman governor of Alexandria.
> The male owner of a female slave can either marry her off to a different man, thus renouncing his own sexual access to her, or he may take her as his own concubine, using her sexually himself.
And in practice in the modern day:
> In the Sudan, Christian captives in the ongoing civil war are often enslaved, and female prisoners are often used sexually, with their Muslim captors claiming that Islamic law grants them permission (citation) [https://books.google.com/books?id=NaVhAQAAQBAJ&pg=PT139&dq=9... ].
It may be inconvenient for those still trying to push the "religion of peace" narrative, but that doesn't mean it's not true, or that we can't talk about it.
