Read Raymond Ibrahim's "Defenders of the West". Muslims have been using sexual abuse against their enemies for a long time. Imad al-Din al-Isfahani, Saladin's secretary, relished the abuse of Christian women after Jerusalem's surrender in 1187. "Women and children together came to 8,000 and were quickly divided up among us, bringing a smile to Muslim faces at their lamentations. How many well-guarded women were profaned, how many queens were ruled, and nubile girls married, and noble women given away, and miserly women forced to yield themselves, and women who had been kept hidden stripped of their modesty, and serious women made ridiculous, and women kept in private now set in public, and free women occupied, and precious ones used for hard work and pretty things put to the test, and virgins dishonoured... and happy ones made to weep! How many noblemen took them as concubines, how many ardent men blazed for one of them, and celibates were satisfied by them, and thirsty men sated by them, and turbulent men able to give vent to their passion." -Imad al-Din, translation by Francesco Gabrieli in "Arab Historians of the Crusades"
