The latest of the horrific outrages of ISIS is the capture in Iraq and selling of some 300 Yazidi women as "slaves of the spoils of war" to ISIS fighters in Syria for their sexual enjoyment.

"In ISIS' eyes, the girls and women are "slaves of the spoils of war with the infidels,"
You might ask yourself, "What religion takes women as sexual slaves as "spoils of war".
Please turn to Sura 8 of your Koran.
This was one of the so-called Medina suras (chapters) written during the period when Mohammed was in Medina and was spreading Islam through warfare. It is full of verses damning the disbelievers. For example, in verse 12, it says, "(Remember when) your Lord revealed (the message) to the angels: 'Verily, I am with you: Give strength to the believers: I will bring about terror into the hearts of the disbelievers: So you strike above their necks and hit hard over all of their finger-tips and toes."
Here is verse 69 from Sura 8.:*
"But (now) enjoy what you have as booty in the war, (as far as it is) lawful and good: But fear Allah: Certainly, Allah is Often Forgiving, Most Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Then there is Sura 4 (Medina period) verse 24, which reads in part, "Also forbidden are women who are married, except those whom your right hand possesses (as war captives)."
It should also be noted that the suras have titles. The title of sura 4 is, "The Women".
The title of Sura 8 is, "The Spoils of War".

Marcus,
How many thousands of years has it been since any Jews took that seriously and put it into practice?
Wake up you dope!
The question you asked was:
"What religion takes women as sexual slaves as "spoils of war".
And not:
"Members of what religion take women as sexual slaves as "spoils of war" in the present day".
The Truth Hurts.
Judaism is a religion based on Rape.
@ Marcus,
Get real! If you read carefully, you would see that most of what one reads in the Old Testament is description. If there is a prescription, which is rare, the interpretations are modified by scholarly Rabbis from the past to present days, as Gary eludes to.
Now take the Koran, which has definite prescription regarding slavery, rash treatment of women, subjugation, killing the Jews, Christians and non-Muslims, many times beheading which the world is experiencing in present times.

Marcus,
You are a nut job. All it takes is a look at your site, which I invite all my readers to do.
If I were to visit Marcus' foundation site, I bet he would solicit me for money?? And if that is him in the photo, he is a real weirdo.
Not only Judaism, it was practiced by most of the Nordic races, and the Romans, and the Greeks, and the Persians... until recently, nobody in Muslim areas of the world took these verses seriously... but the polyglot soldiers of fortune in ISIS, like their counterparts in Taliban Afghanistan, have decided to do so. There are Jews and Christians who would do the same if they had a vacuum to move in as ISIS does. Fortunately, they don't have the space to act according to the dusty words in their books. All kinds of things can happen in territory where there is no effective government.
