Syrian refugee camps becoming sex markets for Gulf state Arabs.

No, this vers is explicit in mentioning the importance of the approval of the woman. I am on my phone right now, but i'll search it later.

Typical of them, they did the same during "the califate" using religion...

[Azalea]

I think the Qur'an is rather vague and confusing in that regard. Also sadly it was composed in a time and era when slavery was still a vital part of the economy.

How to interpret this?

I think it was this one, but it isn't complete. Could you post the entire vers?

[Azalea]

Oh no I was confused, it wasn't this one.

The one that follows it explains it

http://quran.com/4/25

And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allah is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their due compensation according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who fears sin, but to be patient is better for you. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

That's at least less vague than I'm used to.

Here's the entire Surah.

Anyway, I was sneering at some extremist Gulf Arab people (among them women) who used religion to justify sex slavery. Sadly they exist. I can't promise to find a link, though (they're a marginal minority, I'm very sure).

It's war, this is what happens in war. I know it's shit, but it isn't different from wars in other parts of the world.

Danielion, you can not expect not to have different 'interpretations' of a book/religion that's followed by over one billion people. However, it's obvious that the majority condemms these kind of 'interpretation'. The reactions of the people in the video including the local imam says enough.

The only valid interpretation is that by Muhammad and is exemplified by his sunna (examples)

Hey I approve women too, we are not arguing this.

Let me ask you, do you speak the language the Koran was written (complied) in?
