Thus The New York Times today. “Claiming the Koran’s support, the Islamic State codifies sex slavery in conquered regions of Iraq and Syria and uses the practice as a recruiting tool,” explains the newspaper. According to the listing of the most read articles close to the top of the online edition, this one occupies the third place. Wow! I only wonder whether ISIS is using the lofty newspaper as a recruiting tool, as well. Clever, this. The newspaper is read all around the globe. And potential recruits cannot possibly get more credible information about the entire venture before they make up their minds. Slaughter and sex, just like in any American movie worthy of mention the last few decades. Most clever, indeed.
