Religion, Faith, and Spirituality : Georgetown Islamic Professor: "Consent isn't Necessary for Sex"

---

A professor at Georgetown University is teaching his students that men do not need consent to have sex with women, and that slavery is justifiable under Islamic teachings.

Islamic Studies professor Jonathan Brown recently lectured at the International Institute of Islamic Thought, where he shared his alarming beliefs with students in attendance in his lecture, Islam and the Problem of Slavery. Freelance writer Umar Lee expressed his shock over the 90-minute lecture, which included explicit endorsements of rape and slavery.

Brown himself uploaded the lecture to YouTube.

According to Lee, Browns lecture was supposed to revolve around slavery in Islam, but the lecturer moved its focus to criticize the United States, United Kingdom and China. Brown described slavery in these non-Muslim societies as brutal, which they were, but lauded the historically inhumane practice in Arab lands and Turkey.

Indeed, according to Brown, slaves in the Muslim world lived a pretty good life, wrote Lee. I thought the Muslim community was done with this dishonest North Korean style of propaganda. Obviously not.
