Leader of Islamic State used American hostage as sexual slave

 

By Adam Goldman and Greg Miller August 14 at 5:31 PM   

The leader of the Islamic State personally kept a 26-year-old American woman as a hostage and raped her repeatedly, according to U.S. officials and her family.

The family of Kayla Mueller said in an interview Friday that the FBI had informed them that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the emir of the self-proclaimed Islamic State, had sexually abused their daughter, a humanitarian worker.

Mueller’s parents said the FBI first spoke to the family about the sexual assault in late June and provided more details two weeks ago. The bureau pieced together what happened to the American from interviews with other hostages and the captured wife of a senior Islamic State figure.

The FBI also told the Muellers that their daughter had been tortured.

“June was hard for me,” said Marsha Mueller, Kayla’s mother. “I was really upset with what I heard.”

 

The disclosure that Mueller was raped by Baghdadi adds to the grim evidence that the exploitation and abuse of women has been sanctioned at the highest levels of the Islamic State. The sexual enslavement of even teenage girls is seen as religiously endorsed by the group and regarded as a recruiting tool.

News of Baghdadi’s abuse of Mueller, who was from Prescott, Ariz., was first reported Friday by the Independent, a London newspaper.

“As painful as this is for our family, we just feel like the world needs to know the truth,” said Carl Mueller, Kayla’s father. The Muellers noted that Friday would have been their daughter’s 27th birthday.

The Islamic State claimed that Mueller was killed earlier this year after a Jordanian fighter plane dropped a bomb on the building where she was being held. The U.S. government confirmed the death but not the cause.

Mueller’s family had previously released a letter their daughter had written in which she talked about the conditions of her captivity. “Please know I am in a safe location, completely unharmed + healthy (put on weight in fact); I have been treated w/the utmost respect + kindness,” she wrote in the letter, which the family received in the spring of 2014.

[Remembering Kayla Mueller]

 

Kayla’s mother said she had thought her daughter had been treated reasonably until she learned about the conditions of her captivity during a June meeting with FBI officials in Washington. The FBI said they learned about Mueller’s mistreatment from the wife of a senior Islamic State operative captured earlier this year, as well as young female members of the Yazidi religious sect who had spent two months in captivity with Mueller before at least one of them escaped last fall.

U.S. officials had previously said that Mueller was abused by her captors, but it was not known until now that she was kept as a sex slave of the leader of the Islamic State.

Baghdadi is a former Iraqi insurgent who was detained by U.S. forces early in the Iraq war. He was part of an al-Qaeda affiliate in Iraq that was thought to have been largely destroyed before the civil war in Syria allowed it to regenerate.

Though little is known about his background, Baghdadi is regarded as an experienced fighter and a capable leader. His most prominent public appearance came last year when he surfaced at a mosque in Mosul to declare himself the leader of a restored caliphate.

Mueller was abducted in August 2013 after leaving a hospital in the Syrian city of Aleppo. Three months after she died, the compound where she had been held was targeted in a raid by U.S. Special Operations forces.

The operation was aimed at capturing Abu Sayyaf, the nom de guerre of a high-ranking Tunisian member of the Islamic State, who was thought to be in charge of oil smuggling and other illicit enterprises that have funded the terrorist group.

Sayyaf was killed in what U.S. officials described as intense “close quarters combat.” But his wife, identified only as Umm Sayyaf, survived and was eventually brought back to Iraq aboard a bullet-riddled U.S. aircraft. She was then questioned by U.S. interrogators for months, providing information about Mueller as well as the Islamic State’s leadership, before recently being turned over to Iraqi custody.

Systematic abuse

Mueller’s mistreatment is the latest evidence of the Islamic State’s systematic abuse of women on a significant scale.

A report released in April by Human Rights Watch accused the Islamic State of war crimes for its brutal treatment of female Yazidis — many of them teenagers — who were captured in Iraq last August, taken to Syria and forced into sexual slavery by the Islamic State.

After surging into the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar last year, Islamic State fighters captured as many as 1,000 Yazidi women, many of whom were given a bleak choice of “marriage” to a fighter or imprisonment and potential death.

The Human Rights Watch report focused on 20 women who escaped the group and provided detailed accounts of their treatment.

One described attempting to kill herself by going into a bathroom, turning on water and grasping a wire “to electrocute myself but there was no electricity.”

After being discovered, she said she was badly beaten, handcuffed to a sink, stripped of her clothes and washed. “They took me out of the bathroom, brought in [a friend] and raped her in the room in front of me,” said the woman, who is referred to only as Leila. Later she, too, was raped.

Another victim, who was only 12 years old, said that after being abducted in Sinjar, the women in her family were separated from the men and sent to a house in Mosul. Islamic State fighters “would come and select us,” she said. One of the captors beat her, she said, and then “spent three days having sex with me.”

A recent issue of the English-language magazine published by the Islamic State described the taking of sex slaves as religiously justified. The article — titled “Slave girls or prostitutes?” — endorsed the practice, saying sex slaves are “lawful for the one who ends up possessing them even without pronouncement of divorce by their [non-Muslim] husbands.”

The article went on to cite accounts that the prophet Muhammad “took four slave-girls as concubines,” a purported religious basis for the practice.

 

I pray that I don't anger my friend, K98 , again but..........

Islam is a Satanic cult that needs to be eradicated from the face of this planet. 

The truth is, however, that a blending of Islam and the Roman Catholic Church will 

become the,"ONE WORLD RELIGION" spoken of in the book of Revelation.

Selective nuke strikes is the answer, starting with mecca... The muslims are just rapist, pedophiles and serial killers with a 7th century mentality...

Evil, evil, evil. We all know what needs to be done, I pray that the God I serve hears the cries of His children and delivers these demon possesed humans the eye for an eye, then death if they do not repent. Even if they do repent they must pay for their crimes. In Jesus's name I pray.

 

In relation to strikes, bomb their communications facility in Syria into dust.

[prescottcped]

   I live in Prescott Arizona, and this has hit our community very hard. This ISIS group needs to be dealt with NOW not later. Hopefully our next President will come up with a solution to end their barbaric activities. If the American people do not wake up soon, ISIS will be in all of our states and cities. History will show that the world stood by and did nothing, just as it did when Germany decided to exterminate the Jews. We all know how that turned out. There is a reason that the vast majority of Americans have guns, if our Government can not, or will not protect us, we will protect our self's!!! Sorry for the rant, but I for one am tired of our great nation not doing more to end these atrocities!!

 

PS: The rest of the world had better wake up as well.

pray pray pray my friends.  pray that God delivers us from evil!  this is the only solution, it must come from a righteous God who judges righteously.  here is why.  the lines are always gray when it comes to men.  we read these atrocities and the way to resolve it appear black and white, yeah and nay, to us - nuke them from the skies.  with governments, not so!  when confidential government files are opened many times it reveals convoluted situations where enemies and allies are not easily defined and where state interests outweigh truth & justice.  the same isis deemed the evil of the world might also be used as a tool to fulfill a purpose somewhere along the same vein, and negotiations and capitulations are working in the shadows.    the fix is not an alternate government official.  the fix is prayer.

Yes sir Prof, you are absolutely correct. We should pray for our enemy's.

 

So I'd like to offer this soldiers prayer for ISIS.

Why do you believe that Islam and Catholic Weill be blended?

First I'd like to say that I know many people in the Catholic faith that 

 

are, born again. However, that doesn't negate the fact that Catholicism is a 

 

Pagan religion. Though I live one block from the most beautiful Catholic Church 

 

in a deeply Catholic community. And I take great pleasure barbecuing in my back yard

 

and enjoying the sight of the building. The answer to your question, nevertheless, is

 

yes. I do believe that after the rapture of the Church that the,"False Profit", will use the

 

power given unto him by the Beast to essentially blend the religions of Islam and Catholicism. 

 

When one considers how that both religions are the largest in the world it only makes sense.     

[Muleslayer]

Ok.

"After the rapture"

Key words.

I must have missed that in the original post.

After the rapture all current bets are off.

Pagan? Really!?

I prefer infidel!

The definition below says differing from "main" religion. (Quick google search)

I humbly submit (yeah right) humble my azz the Catholicism is one of if not the main religion of the world. Just my opinion no facts ( that I feel like looking up right now at 2 am!)

[MyLadiesDaddy]

 I only meant,"pagan", with respect to it rituals.

 

And yes Catholicism is the largest religion in the world.

 

With Islam being the fastest growing. I know, figure that one out.

 

And I certainly don't mean to disparage, I was at one time an

 

elder in, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (the Mormons)

 

I was raised Lutheran, and have attended the Methodist Church, where I was a young 

 

adult teacher. I received the Lord as my beloved Savior     while attending a 

 

revival at a Baptist church, and completed the most recent calling of God in my life while

 

serving in a Non Denominational Church. I think it is safe to say that I hold a great respect

 

for all sects of faith that profess Jesus Christ as Lord. Including the Catholics.

 

However, that which I've learned the most from the Holy Spirit concerning such matters is this,

 

What we call ourselves by is not as important as who we call ourselves in. That being the

 

RESURRECTED PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.     

[Nelg]

The fastest growing religion in the world?  The "nones."  The "nones" are those who do not believe in God or "god" in any form.  The "new atheists" and agnostics are growing quickly.  

The greatest threat to the "believing world" is "unbelief."

The great threat to "Christianity" are those who say they "believe" and cannot explain why.  They have "faith" in "faith" rather than trusting in God.  They are susceptible to all kinds of attacks to their faith, and can be quickly "carried away" by falsehood and deception, because their faith is not base in evidence and reasoned out to produce faith.  

That is the reason that there are so many religions and "Christian" separated from Christ in the world.
