Having sex slaves, concubines, is permissible in Islam. What is striking is the extent to which the Islamic State is willing to go to keep its sex slaves. Enslaved Yazidi women were recently transported by the Islamic State from Mosul, Iraq to Syria.

From an article reported by CNN we read:
"Dozens of Yazidi women enslaved by ISIS moved from Mosul, group says"

"Dozens of Yazidi women captured and enslaved by ISIS in 2014 have been moved from the Iraqi city of Mosul to Syria, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights."

"The monitoring group and US military officials have said ISIS militants are fleeing Mosul and heading for Raqqa, Syria, the de facto capital of ISIS, as Iraqi-led forces push to free the key Iraqi city from the terror group."

​

Debate Question:  Muhammad owned female slaves (Quran 33:50) and Allah permits Muslim men to have sex with female slaves (Quran 70:29-30).  If Muhammad and Allah had forbade both slavery and intercourse with someone other than one's wife, would the Islamic State be keeping sex slaves today?
