(CNN) -- In a new publication, ISIS justifies its kidnapping of women as sex slaves citing Islamic theology, an interpretation that is rejected by the Muslim world at large as a perversion of Islam.

"One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffar -- the infidels -- and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, or Islamic law," the group says in an online magazine published Sunday.

The title of the article sums up the ISIS point of view: "The revival (of) slavery before the Hour," referring to Judgment Day.

The fourth edition of the group's English-language digital magazine called "Dabiq" said that female members of the Yazidi sect, an ethnically Kurdish minority living mostly in Iraq, may legitimately be captured and forcibly made concubines or sexual slaves.

What a pathetic group. People that think like that don't deserve to live another second on planet earth.

Except for the part of the Muslim world that doesn't reject it.

When I read the Koran in college for a term paper this was indeed in there. ISIS is correct.

And once again, feminists are largely if not completely silent on the matter.

Where y'at, HRC?

I don't know. Ask CNN. They went out of their way to tell me that the Muslim world overwhelmingly rejects this practice, and yet, it's going on in the Muslim world.

Mainstream Muslims apparently do not agree with about 99% of what is in their own religions user manual.

David and Solomon had concubines in the Old Testament. Occasionally throughout history, certain Christians sects have used this justification for polygamy/harems. Notably, the Anabaptists and the Mormons. But they were definitely viewed as deplorable by other contemporaneous Christian groups. If someone can provide unbiased commentary on the larger Muslim views of this, both historically and currently, I would appreciate the education. I really don't know.

I have no problem with consensual polygamy.

As far as subjugation of women, well let's just say that GT23 might think that they have point.

Consensual polygamy is like consensual prostitution, hard to find or decipher when you really have it. Rare and too much grey area.
