Religion of Peace update: Muslim rape epidemic
An interesting development. Odd that we’re not hearing much about it:
A Muslim rape epidemic in sweeping over Europe — and over many other nations host to immigrants from the Islamic world. The direct connection between the rapes and Islam is irrefutable, as Muslims are significantly overrepresented among convicted rapists and rape suspects. The Muslim perpetrators themselves boast that their crime is justified since their victims were, among other things, not properly veiled.
What is the psychology here? What is the significance of this epidemic? And how do we face it when our own feminists, with a few exceptions, are deafeningly silent about it?
The rest of the article is a symposium between the article’s author (Jamie Glazov ) and 4 other people, each with differing degrees of expertise in Islam. I’m not familiar with any of them, but here’s what is listed as their qualifications for being in the discussion:
Pierre Rehov, a French filmmaker who has filmed six documentaries on the Palestinian Intifada. His new documentary, Suicide Killers, explores the psychology of suicide bombers. It is based on interviews with the victims of suicide bombers, the families of suicide bombers, would-be bombers themselves, and experts on suicide killer mentality.
Nancy Kobrin, an affiliated professor to the University of Haifa, Arabist, psychoanalyst and author of the upcoming book, The Sheikh’s New Clothes: Islamic Suicide Terror and What It’s Really All About;
Peter Raddatz, a German scholar of Islamic Studies and the co-author of the renowned “Encyclopaedia of Islam.” He is the author of many books, including From Allah to Terror? Jihad and the Western Deformation, Allah’s Veil and The Turkish Danger. In a few months he will publish World Risk Iran.Gudrun Eussner, a journalist with a Ph.D at Free University Berlin, specializing in mass communication and political science, and Iranian philology. She has experience working in numerous Muslim countries, including Bosnia, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Turkey, Usbekistan and others.
The conversation starts with a basic question:
A man sees a woman and she is not veiled. He thinks to himself: “Oh, I must rape her now.”
No matter how much I try to figure this out, I can’t. What’s the mindset here? If a person is upset that a woman is not veiled, it implies he wants some kind of supposed “morality.” But if he is thirsting for purity, how does perpetrating a violent sexual atrocity against the “immoral” one fit into moralizing her and the rest of society – and himself?
Dr. Eussner makes some interesting statements.
The Muslims are not living any longer in a hostile surrounding, they are almost in Dar ul-Islam. Profesor Nezvat Yalçintas, member of the Istanbul parliament, made an interesting statement. During the inauguration of the Murabitun mosque in Granada, Spain, in July 2003, he told the audience that Paris, Rome, Madrid now were components of the Islamic world due to the erection of new mosques.But as Muslims are still obliged to wage a perpetual war against those infidels who refuse to submit, the jihad is continuing in Dar ash-shahâda, and people not behaving according to the Qur’anic laws have to be punished. The trick of introducing these new definitions has a severe impact on Muslims’ consciousness, especially on young Muslim men. People not behaving according to the Qur’anic laws are to be punished even stronger now. [emphasis added] The Muslims are not any more restricted by the laws of Dar ul-harb, that has evaporated without notice, merely by changing the definition. The inhabitants of our countries are to obey to Muslim male supremacy and Qur’anic laws. What better a justification for conduct towards women? [emphasis added]
Think we’ll hear anything from the National Organization for Women on this one?
There’s been quite a bit of spirited discussion in the comments section of the R_V blog, revolving around the subject of Islam and Islamofascism. And although I don’t like it, I don’t have problems with the former, while I find the latter to be a serious threat.
But this subject – rape allowed under Sharia law – is pretty troubling. And it doesn’t seem to be confined to the Islamofascists. I’m not really sure what to think of this, as I can’t be sure who it is that advocates this kind of treatment of women.
Are those who follow Sharia in the mainstream of Islam?
Political Islam, that is an Islam not only confined to the mosques and the private spiritual life but ruling through the sharia, leads to fear and submission. And we find today, that this fear is spreading into our Western society. Government authorities and offices, media, educational institutions, political parties, intellectuals and feminists are submitting themselves to Islamic claims and laws. The Islamization of our societies is in the making. Step by step we are pulling back. We are not defending our values, but we are submitting to the outrageous claims of dictatorial Islamic governments. What better an example as the handling of the publication of 12 Danish cartoons!
Interesting points. The entire article is MUCH longer, but well worth the read. (h/t: Saintknowitall)
