Is slavery part of religion or religion part of slavery ?

4. Here's a slave market in 2015...

Operated, of course, by godless atheists persecuting religious believers.

GOTCHA! It's actually operated by the devout Sunni Muslims of ISIS.

ISIS even issues a handy pamphlet on the proper treatment of slaves and captives, with justifications from the Koran and hadiths:

Christians, Jews and Yazidi women can all be taken as slaves, it says.

Women can be bought, sold, and given as gifts; they can be disposed of as property if a fighter dies.

The pamphlet's Q&A format includes the following:

Question: Is it allowed to have intercourse with a female captive immediately after taking possession of her? Answer: If she is a virgin, her master can have intercourse with her immediately after taking possession. But if she is not, you must make sure she is not pregnant.

Question: Is it allowed to have intercourse with a female slave who has not reached puberty? Answer: You may have intercourse with a female slave who hasn't reached puberty if she is fit for intercourse. However, if she is not fit for intercourse, it is enough to enjoy her without.

It is a depraved and depressing document, at odds with mainstream Islam, though well-researched with Koranic verses and hadiths, or reports of what the Prophet Muhammad said or approved.

This may sound like OMG Western colonialist propaganda!1! against the poor misunderstood religious believers of ISIS. But these reports have been generally consistent from a wide range of sources, not all of them tools of Western colonialism etc.
