An ISIS 'wife' has said Yazidi women can be raped as sex slaves because it states prisoners of war are 'property' in the Quran - before admitting she had not read the text.
The unidentified female was speaking to another woman who asked her about the treatment of Yazidis under the so-called caliphate.
Speaking to a mobile phone camera, she described her interpretation of the Quran as a justification for the rape and murder of Yazidi women taken prisoner as sex slaves, saying because the Muslim holy book defines prisoners of war as 'property' they can be treated as objects.
But when pressed on if it does actually states in the Quran that prisoners can be treated this way, the woman replied she 'did not know much' about the Islamic text.
In fact, sura 24, verse 33 of the Islamic holy book explicitly states: 'Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye may seek enjoyment of the life of the world, if they would preserve their chastity.'
Another verse extols followers to treat prisoners respectfully and to 'feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive.'
