He Prays Before Raping Me – ISIS s*x Slave

It was an ordeal that nightmares are

made of. A 20-year-old Yazidi

woman, who says she was held as a

s*x slave by ISIS, told CNN’s

Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive

interview that her captor was a

fighter who told her he was from the

United States.

The victim, who asked to be called

“Bazi” (not her real name) is now in

the U.S. to testify to Congress about

her allegations against the American

– and to push the FBI to press

charges against the man she said

went by the name of Abu Abdullah

Al Amriki (Abu Abdullah the

American).

The woman’s story could not be

independently verified. The human

rights group Hardwired assisted her

in going to the U.S.

Her captor “was very white,” Bazi

told Amanpour in Washington. “He

was a little bit taller than me, with a

black beard, black hair. I also saw

his own family. He had a wife and

two children, a son and a daughter.”

That family, she said, still lived in

the United States; he claimed he was

able to visit them several times. He

claimed he had been a teacher in

America, and showed her pictures of

his family, she said.

Bazi told Amanpour she was

captured by ISIS when the extremist

group overran the city of Sinjar in

Iraq, in August 2014. She was taken

to Raqqa, Syria, which ISIS claims

for its capital. There, she was

auctioned off as a slave along with

10 other girls.

The American, she said, sold off the

nine other girls and kept her for

himself.

‘Before raping me, he would pray…’

In the hands of a member of ISIS, the

punishment for not being a Muslim

was horrible.

“He was talking in a bad way about

the church,” Bazi said. “He said, ‘I

wasn’t awake in my life … until I

was converted to Islam.’ He said this

is the right path for me and for

everyone to live on this planet, to

become Muslim.”

“He was telling us we should go back

to the Prophet’s age, where we force

everyone to become Muslim.

Everybody should be a Muslim –

either be a Muslim or die.”

The American, however, seemed

content to keep Bazi as a slave for

his sexual pleasure – albeit one, as a

non-Muslim, that required him to

cleanse himself after the act was

done.

“Before raping me, he would pray

for like fifteen minutes or half an

hour. And after that, even if it was 2

a.m., 3 a.m., after raping me, he

would go take a shower and pray

again.”

After several attempts, escape

Despite the horrors she faced, Bazi

said her thoughts were with the

other girls.

“The first time he raped me, he tried

To Molest the other girl who was

with me, but I told him since I felt

I’m already raped, I don’t want the

other one [to be raped]. So I became

responsible for the other one.

“I told him, you do this to me, you

can have me. Please don’t hurt her

and don’t do anything to her.

“I told him to treat her as a servant

for him, because he was sheikh, an

emir, so he would just have her as a

servant.

“So I convinced him the whole time

until we were able to escape from his

house.”

Her eventual escape came after

several failed attempts. She told

Amanpour that on her successful

attempt, she managed to make it to a

nearby shop and call her family.

Her family knew people in ISIS-held

territory who worked to get girls out

of Syria.

“I was never able to even think

about getting out of there, since –

although I tried many times, all the

time I was aware that I will fail. And

so even now, I don’t believe how i

made it. “Everybody talks about this

subject because it’s sensitive,” Bazi

said. “But when it comes to the

action, nobody does nothing.”
