From Daily Mail:
Mutairi (Salwa al Mutairi, political activist and TV host from Kuwait) said that during a recent visit to Mecca, she asked Saudi muftis – Muslim religious scholars – what the Islamic ruling was on owning sex slaves. They are said to have told her that it is not haram.
The ruling was confirmed by ‘specialized people of the faith’ in Kuwait, she claimed.
‘They said, that’s right, the only solution for a decent man who has the means, who is overpowered by desire and who does not want to commit fornication, is to acquire jawari.’ Jawari is the plural of the Arabic term jariya, meaning ‘concubine’ or ‘sex slave’.
One Saudi mufti supposedly told Mutairi: ‘The context must be that of a Muslim nation conquering a non-Muslim nation, so these jawari have to be prisoners of war.’

Check out this video –
Asia’s growing economic power

This is little off topic but when I was watching this video yesterday , I noticed that the decline of economic dominance of Asia( Mainly India and China ) started around the First Mughal Invasions from the west and the establishment of Slave Dynasty. I am sure a lot changed during that period not just the culture and purdah related system but India started declining as a major economic power of that time.

Purdah, denial of education to women, child marriage and sati are some of the evils that came into Indian / Hindu soc due to islamic invasion of India –

http://www.pushti-marg.net/bhagwat/sati.htm There were no NGOs to fight for the rights of the conquered people – hence sati became prevalent wherever muslims raped and looted Hindus. It never went south, as muslim forces were less virulent by the time islam spread there.

Hindus, Jains and Sikhs in North India cover their head because that is what was forced upon them by the realities of living in a muslim dominated part of the world.
In the south, muslim oppression was late in coming and far less rigorously enforced. In area where muslims were in majority – like part of Kerala and Kokan, veil and buqua were as oppressive as north India. Rest of the country – far East and south, was free of this.

Facts and stats speak for themselves. Look at the records of the muslim rulers to see how many they killed, enslaved or forced to convert after each war. Their records are very clear on this !

Over the centuries, millions of Hindus have died due to muslim oppression !!
