NEW details have emerged to suggest that an Austrian teen who fled Europe to join Islamic State was used as a sex slave for new fighters, before she was beaten to death when she tried to escape.

A Tunisian former jihadist who managed to escape from the sick terror group has revealed fresh information about Samra Kesinovic and Sabina Selimovic, Islamic State poster girls who ran away to join the Islamist group.

Samra, 17 and Sabina, 15, disappeared from their homes in 2014, leaving a note for their families which read: "Don't look for us. We will serve Allah and we will die for him."

The girls, who are of Bosnian heritage, travelled to Syria via Turkey after allegedly being brainwashed by Bosnian Islamist preacher Ebu Tejma in Vienna.

When they joined up with the terror group, the teenagers were forced to marry Islamic State fighters and were snapped in burqas carrying Kalashnikovs as part of an Islamic State propaganda drive to recruit more young girls.

But now a Tunisian woman who was kept in a house with 17-year-old Samra revealed they were forced to provide sexual acts for jihadis.

She said they had lived together in the house and were regarded as a "sexual present for new fighters".

She said Samra had tried to flee several times and after the last attempt she had been beaten with a hammer so severely that she died from her injuries.

When the girls fled to join Islamic State last year 15-year-old Sabina allegedly tweeted: “Here I can really be free. I can practice my religion. I couldn't do that in Vienna."

But Sabina was reported dead soon afterwards after being killed during fighting in the jihadi stronghold of Al-Raqqah. Shortly after, Samra penned a letter to her family saying she was so sickened by Islamic State brutality she wanted to leave, but wasn’t able to.

Now Austrian media sources say Samra was killed when she tried to leave Al-Raqqah when she was beaten to death by Islamic State thugs.

The Austrian government has yet to confirm the reports and foreign ministry spokesman Thomas Schnoll said: "We cannot comment on individual cases."

There are thought to be around 190 Austrians in Syria who left Europe to join the evil terror group. Several young British girls have also joined Islamic State, including Bethnal Green schoolgirls Kadiza Sultana, Shamima Begum and Amira Abase.

Not in the least surprising and hopefully a wake up call for others who might be considering such a move.

Is this thread about making it clear the IS is a bunch of terrible, murderous people?

I hate to be the one that you kind of waste time on that. There noone seriously saying anything else around here.

Don't worry, ISIS has guidelines to how to rape your sex slave

Exclusive: Islamic State ruling aims to settle who can have sex with female slaves


Islamic State theologians have issued an extremely detailed ruling on when "owners" of women enslaved by the extremist group can have sex with them, in an apparent bid to curb what they called violations in the treatment of captured females.

The ruling or fatwa has the force of law and appears to go beyond the Islamic State's previous known utterances on slavery, a leading Islamic State scholar said. It sheds new light on how the group is trying to reinterpret centuries-old teachings to justify the rape of women in the swaths of Syria and Iraq it controls.

The fatwa was among a huge trove of documents captured by U.S. Special Operations Forces during a raid targeting a top Islamic State official in Syria in May. Reuters has reviewed the document, which has not been previously published, but couldn't independently confirm its authenticity.

Among the fatwa's injunctions are bans on a father and son having sex with the same female slave; and the owner of a mother and daughter having sex with both. Joint owners of a female captive are similarly enjoined from intercourse because she is viewed as "part of a joint ownership."

The United Nations and human rights groups have accused the Islamic State of the systematic abduction and rape of thousands of women and girls as young as 12, especially members of the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq. Many have been given to fighters as a reward or sold as sex slaves.

Far from trying to conceal the practice, Islamic State has boasted about it and established a department of "war spoils" to manage slavery. Reuters reported on the existence of the department on Monday.

In an April report, Human Rights Watch interviewed 20 female escapees who recounted how Islamic State fighters separated young women and girls from men and boys and older women. They were moved "in an organized and methodical fashion to various places in Iraq and Syria." They were then sold or given as gifts and repeatedly raped or subjected to sexual violence.


DOS AND DON'TS

Fatwa No. 64, dated Jan. 29, 2015, and issued by Islamic State's Committee of Research and Fatwas, appears to codify sexual relations between IS fighters and their female captives for the first time, going further than a pamphlet issued by the group in 2014 on how to treat slaves.

The fatwa starts with a question: "Some of the brothers have committed violations in the matter of the treatment of the female slaves. These violations are not permitted by Sharia law because these rules have not been dealt with in ages. Are there any warnings pertaining to this matter?"

It then lists 15 injunctions, which in some instances go into explicit detail. For example:

"If the owner of a female captive, who has a daughter suitable for intercourse, has sexual relations with the latter, he is not permitted to have intercourse with her mother and she is permanently off limits to him. Should he have intercourse with her mother then he is not permitted to have intercourse with her daughter and she is to be off limits to him."

Islamic State's rape of female captives has been well documented, but a leading IS expert at Princeton University, Cole Bunzel, who has reviewed many of the group's writings, said the fatwa went beyond what has previously been published by the militants on how to treat female slaves.

"It reveals the actual concerns of IS slave owners," he said in an email.

Still, he cautioned that not "everything dealt with in the fatwa is indicative of a relevant violation. It doesn't mean father and son were necessarily sharing a girl. They're at least being 'warned' not to. But I bet some of these violations were being committed."

The fatwa also instructs owners of female slaves to "show compassion toward her, be kind to her, not humiliate her, and not assign her work she is unable to perform." An owner should also not sell her to an individual whom he knows will mistreat her.

Professor Abdel Fattah Alawari, dean of Islamic Theology at Al-Azhar University, a 1,000-year-old Egyptian center for Islamic learning, said Islamic State "has nothing to do with Islam" and was deliberately misreading centuries-old verses and sayings that were originally designed to end, rather than encourage, slavery.

"Islam preaches freedom to slaves, not slavery. Slavery was the status quo when Islam came around," he said. "Judaism, Christianity, Greek, Roman, and Persian civilizations all practiced it and took the females of their enemies as sex slaves. So Islam found this abhorrent practice and worked to gradually remove it.”

In September 2014 more than 120 Islamic scholars from around the world issued an open letter to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi refuting the group's religious arguments to justify many of its actions. The scholars noted that the "reintroduction of slavery is forbidden in Islam."
