The topic is difficult to write about, abhorrent to read about. And, I warn you; some of it may shock and disgust you. If you are easily offended, perhaps you should read no further. But, note that the offense isn’t mine, but rather of those who have most foully betrayed the hospitality offered them. My offense is merely in the relating of information and statements from perpetrators of the vile crime of sexual assault – perpetrated not only against their own kind, but most often against those in the country they have chosen to emigrate to.

There is something else that must be considered. In most of Europe, sex has been looked at differently than it is in the Untied States – except for predominantly Catholic countries or areas, such as Italy. In Europe, consensual sex has often been looked as just another part of life – part of a relationship. Unless there are religious considerations, pre-marital sex is common, and is looked at as just another part of the dating world, or a relationship. For the most part, it as looked at as a source of pleasure, rather than commitment. Virginity, as it is looked upon by Christians, is often not a commodity that is considered necessary, or even advantageous. Fidelity among certain groups in Europe is not commonplace. In fact, fidelity amongst younger people is often looked at as an oddity. I know things have changed in the U.S., but these are attitudes, which have been held by many Europeans for a long time. They were that way when I lived there, and were that way long before. Not much has changed in that regard.

But, one should not confuse the different sexual mores as an invitation to unwanted sex. One is consensual, the other is not. And, I reiterate, sexual assault is not about sex – it is about power. It always has been, and always will be. Men will often excuse their behavior, saying it is a biological imperative. Perhaps it once was, thousands of years ago. But, most cultures evolved beyond that point. Regardless of a man’s excuse, regardless of how he felt “she was asking for it,” or they “couldn’t control themselves,” it breaks down to power – they are stronger and decide to take what they like. And have no regard for their victim. She is merely a means to an end.

If there is one set of fundamental functions of rape, civilian or martial, it is to display, communicate, and produce or maintain dominance, which is both enjoyed for its own sake and used for such ulterior ends as exploitation, expulsion, dispersion, murder. Acts of forcible rape, like other instances of torture, communicate dominance by removing our control over what enters or impinges on our bodies. Rape is a cross-cultural language of male domination…” (Rape as a weapon of War)

The genesis of this article was some information I read about Sweden in To the Readers of Little Green Footballs. In little more than one generation, the number of rapes in Sweden has risen approximately 400-500 percent, and sexual assaults involving children under the age of 15 are six times as common. The increase in sexual assaults mirrors the influx of immigrants. As in the U.S., in other countries the increase in rapes is attributed to more being reported. This rationalization does not come even close to explaining what is going on, however. In Sweden, Muslim men of Arab ethnicity dominate the group of rape suspects.

In some countries, the ethnicity or country of origin of perpetrators is not often reported due to what is often considered an informal censorship. In others, frankly, the censorship is not so informal – it is quite blatant and often falls under the purview of “hate speech.” This is due to concerns that one group or another may be discriminated against, although this may not be not commonly known outside the particular country. Specific data, therefore, is often difficult to obtain. Additionally, there are no international standards on how crime statistics should be produced or presented, therefore making international comparisons difficult.

In France, for example, ethnicity-based censuses are banned. According to researcher Farhad Khosrokhavar in his book “Islam in Prisons,” Muslims make up some 70 percent of the prisoners in France. He said, “… complexion, names and religious traditions like prohibition of pork indicate that Muslims constitute an overwhelming majority in prisons.” It is often only through such information that one is able to glean what population is perpetrating what crimes.

In some communities in France, gang rapes of teenage girls and young women have become commonplace. These horrific crimes are called “tournantes” (pass-arounds) or basement plans, as that is often where the crime occurs. The government has initiated training to recognize the special circumstances of domestic violence, including the fact that some women immigrants may face further violence (or death) if sent back to their countries of origin… (Violence Against Women in France)

Such crimes often occur in the areas populated primarily by immigrants, “mostly from France's former colonies.”  According to sociologists and prosecutors, teenage boys “often loosely organized into gangs, prey on neighborhood girls. Many of the boys are raised in closed, traditional families and are hopelessly confused or ignorant about sex; others are simply street toughs. In this world, women enjoy little respect; often girls who appear weak, or wear tight-fitting clothing, or go out unaccompanied by their fathers or brothers, are considered fair game.” While it is not directly stated – because it is illegal in France - it is implicit as to which population this is directed towards.

According to a study from the Swedish National Crime Prevention Council, Brå,

it is four times more likely that a known rapist is born abroad, compared to persons born in Sweden. Resident aliens from Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects. Commonalities between the four countries cited include Islamic religion and Arab ethnicity. According to these statistics, almost half of all perpetrators are immigrants. In Norway and Denmark, we know that non-Western immigrants, which frequently means Muslims, are grossly overrepresented on rape statistics. In Oslo, Norway, immigrants were involved in two out of three rape charges in 2001. The numbers in Denmark were the same, and even higher in the city of Copenhagen with three out of four rape charges. Sweden has a larger immigrant, including Muslim, population than any other country in northern Europe. The numbers there are likely to be at least as bad as with its Scandinavian neighbors. The actual number is thus probably even higher than what the authorities are reporting now, as it doesn't include second-generation immigrants. Lawyer Ann Christine Hjelm, who has investigated violent crimes in Svea high court, found that 85 per cent of the convicted rapists were born on foreign soil or by foreign parents. (Fjordman: Immigrant Rape Wave in Sweden)

Muslims are clear about their take on the issue. A Mufti in Copenhagen sparked a political outcry after he publicly declared that women who refuse to wear headscarves are "asking for rape." Australia’s most senior Muslim cleric blamed “immodestly dressed women who don’t wear Islamic headdress for being preyed on by men and likened them to abandoned ‘meat’ that attracts voracious animals.”

This attitude is prevalent among Muslims, as was elucidated by four young men with immigrant backgrounds. One of them, Hamid, a Muslim immigrant, explained their take on the issue. "It is not as wrong raping a Swedish girl as raping an Arab girl," he said. "The Swedish girl gets a lot of help afterwards, and she had probably fu**** before, anyway. But the Arab girl will get problems with her family. For her, being raped is a source of shame. It is important that she retains her virginity until she marries." He said, it was no coincidence that it was a Swedish girl that was gang raped by immigrants in Rissne. "It is far too easy to get a Swedish whore….. girl, I mean;" and laughed over his choice of words. "I don't have too much respect for Swedish girls. I guess you can say they get fu**** to pieces." (Fjordman: Immigrant Rape Wave in Sweden)

In Sweden, as in a number of other European countries, it is "racist" and therefore illegal to even suggest that certain ethnic or religious groups are worse than others. If one criticizes oppression of women, one must state that all men are equally bad. In a speech in 2002, Swedish politician Gudrun Schyman posited that Swedish men were just like the Taliban. A male columnist in newspaper Aftonbladet agreed with her. During a rally in March 2007, a man carried a sign that read, "While Swedish girls are being gang raped by immigrant gangs the SSU is fighting racism." He was arrested and later sentenced by the local court because he "expressed disrespect for a group of people with reference to their national or ethnic background." The court felt free speech had its limits, and he had acted in a provocative manner.

No matter what country one looks at, which Western nation, the number of rapes committed by Muslim immigrants, or those born to Muslim immigrants, is exceptionally high. It becomes difficult to view them as random acts. Rather, they are the acts of an invading or conquering army. Conquering armies throughout history have taken and used the women (under Islamic standards, young girls and teenagers also frequently fit into that category), not only as part of the humiliation of the men, but also because they considered them booty, or property, to be used as they saw fit.

It has been done at times of war by the Vikings, the Mongols, the Germans and the Russians during WW2, and all the way up to the Balkans in the 1990s… [their actions] …resembles warfare. This happens in most Western European countries, as well as in other infidels countries such as India. In Bradford, England, Channel 4 pulled a documentary about Pakistani and other Muslim men sexually abusing white English girls, some as young as 11. Writer Theodore Dalrymple thinks that "thanks to their cultural inheritance, (Muslim) abuse of women is systematic rather than unsystematic…" (Rape: Nothing to do with Islam?)

However, in Islam, it is not only a political ideology, but also part and parcel of their current religious beliefs. This behavior is sanctioned in the Qur’an and explained in the hadiths. It is against Islamic law to rape [Muslim] women, but is encouraged for women captured in battle. So, despite what the Muslim apologists say, the behavior is condoned, and even encouraged by their most holy book and the hadiths.

This hadith provides the context for the Qur’anic verse (4:24):

The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain.  They met their enemy and fought with them.  They defeated them and took them captives.

Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers.  So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verse: (Sura 4:24) "And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess." (Abu Dawud 2150)

There are several hadith in which Muhammed is asked for his opinion on how women should be raped following their capture. Bukhari 34:432 speaks to the fact that Muhammed told his men it was acceptable to rape them as long as they ejaculated within the women. Female slaves were bought and sold by Muhammad and his Muslims (Ibn Ishaq 693), traded like any other simple commodity. (The Myths of Muhammad)

Because non-Muslims are considered infidels, they are exhorted to either conquer us or destroy us. In Muslim eyes, crimes against infidels do not really constitute crimes. Rather, they are considered following their religious imperative. The actions of the Muslim immigrants in Europe clearly show they feel entitled. If they are viewed as a conquering army, their actions in Western nations not only make sense, but is in full accordance with Islamic law.

From Robert Spencer on rape and jihad,  “It is not understood that Western women are not so much regarded by most Muslims as individuals, but as "their women," the women who "belong" to hostile Infidels. They are booty, to be taken, just as the land of the Infidels someday will drop, it is believed, into Muslim hands –“

They find Western culture and mores to be offensive. They recognize Islamic law. If they “act, in accordance with the local laws” it is “ only insofar as they do not contradict Islam -- that is only because of darura, the doctrine of necessity -- and that necessity, that darura, is of course only temporary.”

Bernard Lewis, perceived by many as  “the intellectual godfather behind the administration’s decision to invade Iraq,” warned in a lecture that “the Islamic world was now attacking the West using two tactics: terrorism and migration....”

If rape isn’t considered terrorism, I don’t know what is. If the number of Muslim immigrants committing these crimes versus the number of the indigenous population doesn’t say something, I don’t know what does.  If the staggering rise in the number of rapes, which mirror the influx of this population doesn’t say something, I don’t know what does. The fact that Muslims get away with behavior not acceptable from other cultures and religions should speak volumes.

I’ll end this with a statement from Appeasement is not working:

“…the current strategy is not working for us infidels, i.e. APPEASEMENT. But it is working to the benefit of Islam… The invasion by Islam continues. So do we fight it? Or this time surrender? It seems our leaders has chosen to do the latter. But I don't believe the good people of Europe will. There will be a straw that will break the camel's back and when that happens then all hell will break lose. I'm rooting for the infidels.

In a recent thread in the ATS Conspiracy Forum, “So I just signed up on a Muslim extremist board…” I was floored by some of the comments from the posters. The original poster Sublime620  signed up because he “wanted to discuss politics with the ‘enemy’. People that don't like white Americans and Jews. While they don't actively state that they want to destroy America, it is clearly stated as an objective of theirs to make the world dominated by Islam.”

Sublime620 joined the board because “it was featured on Fox News as being a Muslim extremist website…” But, his real question was, after joining this board, if he would be “added to the terrorist watch list? Will my phone be tapped? Will they personally monitor my internet activity? Will I have trouble flying?”

He continues: “As for Christian extremists... Do you mean the neo-cons? I discuss them all the time. Hate 'em. But I know everything about Christian extremists. I have never argued with a Muslim extremist. I really was just curious as to what it would be like to have a casual debate with them [Muslim extremists].”

“…I have a different opinion and I wanted to discuss and debate that with them. Doesn't that show that I have more respect for them than most people do?”

JmanFIVek: “I love chatting with islamic extremist. It's interesting to try and understand their perspective.”

ANOK; “Why can't people see extremists Muslims as just a 'bunch of nuts' instead of painting the whole religion as evil? …It has nothing to do with religion, but a lot to do with the media and the power of persuasion.”

Res Ipsa: “I hate being ignorant about the different Muslim groups and what is pissing them off so bad. I just hate being ignorant about anything…”

SpartanKingLeonidas: pointed folks to some other thread he had begun, One called “Muslim’s Are Not The Problem, You Are!!! ” You have been duped by ignorance and are blind to the truth. The Muslim religion, is just like Christianity, exactly like it in fact…”

Sometimes it amazes me that my enemy is so naïve, superficial, and stupid…Syrian Ambassador to the U.S. 'Imad Mustafa, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on May 5, 2008

These comments and comments like them show exactly what most of the American people are – ignorant of Islam, ignorant of their beliefs, and ignorant or the threat they pose. Unfortunately, it isn’t only “extremists” who are a threat.  There is abundant material from so-called “moderate” Muslims who speak about world domination and the destruction of those who do not follow the faith. The Muslims who do not believe this are apostates…in order to adapt within whatever culture they are in, and not become jihadists, they must ignore huge chunks of their holy book, the Qur’an and the hadiths. It is nothing like Christianity, as some would attest. The Muslims themselves agree their belief is nothing like Christianity.

In a sermon that aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Yunis Al-Astal, Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Rome, "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam, just as Constantinople was. It then, he said, would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe."

"If the Islamic shari'a is applied in America… "I am proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim, because I know, I follow, and I strive to practice the teachings of Islam. Every Muslim should be proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim... it gives benefits to society. On the basis of this knowledge, every Muslim should be proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim." [...]

"I would stress that every Muslim should be a terrorist. I repeat: Every Muslim should be a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who terrifies others, who terrorizes others. Public address delivered by Indian cleric Ashraf Mohamedy, which aired on Peace TV on April 22, 2008:

In late August, 2004 at the Egyptian Journalists' Union in Cairo, Sheikh Dr. Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood movement and one of the most important religious authorities in Islamist circles, issued a religious legal opinion permitting the abduction and killing of American civilians in Iraq.

Statements like the one from ANOK, “ Why can't people see extremists Muslims as just a 'bunch of nuts' instead of painting the whole religion as evil? …It has nothing to do with religion, but a lot to do with the media and the power of persuasion” show how little people really understand Islam. Their religion and their political ideology are one and the same – all “penned” from the same man. From the mouth of the same man they revere as their prophet. The man who if cartoons or pictures are made of, they will kill because of. And, please, for any who want a make a comparison with other religions – let us first remember that Muhammad, Abu l-Qasim Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, was a man. Not a god. Not God. Or even the Son of God. He was an illiterate man who saw and heard things, including at one point djinns – or in English, a genie. He related having conversations with one. In fact, the Qur'an has a whole discourse on them, and it states that Muhammad was sent as a prophet to both “humanity and the Djinn”.

What many want to call extremists, are, in fact, fundamental Muslims. The only valid comparison one can make between them and Christians is that fundamental Christians also believe every jot and tittle in their holy book, the Bible, and they believe in God. But, it is not the same God. Other than that, there is no comparison on any level.

Plus, Muslims lie. It is not only an accepted behavior, it is expected. It is so written in the Qur’an and in their hadiths.  They all believe in taqqiyah, which basically means to simulate whatever status you need to in order to win the war against the enemy…which is everyone who does not follow Muhammed. From The Truth About Islam, Taqqiyah & Jihad (Deception & Holy War), taqqiyah, or dissimulation, is a form of deception, which Muslims use to conceal the truth. This Islamic concept to deceive an enemy (i.e., non-Muslim, infidel, kafir, etc.) is not only a common practice, but is considered a virtue among Muslims. It is used by all Muslims, not just Shias, as Sunnis will assert.

Just remember this practice of deception whenever you hear ludicrous remarks like "Islam is a religion of peace," or "Violence is completely foreign to Islam."

So, aside from any other issue regarding Islam, one must remember that what they say (such as in an open forum, during a debate or political negotiations) must always be questioned. The fruit of the tree is where one sees the truth. There are good Muslims – Muslims who want the Qur’an to be reinterpreted. To adapt. But remember, they do not accept the Qur’an in its entirety. Because if they did, they would be jihadists. It is so written.

The Quilliam Foundation is one such group. They are a counter extremism think tank, created by former activists of radical Islamist organizations. They believe that Western Muslims should revive Western Islam, and find harmony in West-Islam relations.

And, of course, there are duplicitous Christians and Jews and folks of other beliefs. But, their scriptures say lying is wrong. It is not acceptable behavior. In Islam, however, it is not only considered acceptable, it is often considered necessary as it serves their belief and their cause.

From Understanding Dishonesty and Deceit in Islam

When someone first becomes curious and wishes to begin learning about Islam, it is imperative that they first understand the degree to which lying is not only permitted, but actually fostered and even, at times, commanded in Islam.  When a Christian wishes to teach others about Christianity, it is simply understood that honesty will be an essential aspect of that sharing.  In Islam however, most westerners have a hard time relating to the fact that purposeful exaggerations, covering of the truth and occasionally – outright-deliberate lying is a core part of the religion of Islam.  There are actually specific doctrines and traditions that foster a culture of dishonesty within Islam…of course, there are some verses and traditions in Islam that discourage lying:

 And cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when ye know (what it is). -Surah 2:42 (Yusuf Ali)

 But, it is the exceptions to the rule that have actually become the rule itself. 

In order to understand how a religion can rationalize and justify lying, the model of jihad and the goals of Islam must be examined.  Within Islam, jihad is essentially viewed as a struggle to bring all things into submission to Allah and Islam.  This is critical. There is the personal inner struggle, which is fought by every Muslim to overcome his or her own weaknesses. Then there is the need to wage jihad to make others submit to Islam.  This is similar to what Christians call evangelism.  In Islam it is called Dawah.  “Flowing on down the spectrum, there is the imperative for Islam to take over local and eventually national governments.  This is the point, unfortunately where the true face, the violent face of Islam is often revealed and, where jihad usually begins to get bloody.”

This is what is we’re seeing throughout the world today.  So, while many non-Muslims think of jihad as personal struggle, and simply fighting against non-Muslim governments and nations, the concept in Islam actually includes all aspects of life, which the western world is beginning to see as shari’a law, among other things. “ In the Muslim mind, even the struggle to convert non-Muslims to Islam is part of jihad.  Evangelism in Islam is more than just “sharing the good news, it is war.” Muhammad said, “War is deception.”  So, in this context,  “Islam encourages Muslims to use an aggressive jihad/war-time mentality that is literally defined by deception.”

And, until people realize the degree to which this mentality plays out, people in the western world, who are being purposefully deceived, are like sheep being led to the slaughter.

So, yes – most of us are as stupid and naïve as they think we are. And, people will continue to be so until they truly inform themselves about Islam and not listen to the Muslim apologists who continue to compare Islam with Christianity or tell us it is a religion of peace. Because anyone who has actually reads the Qur’an know that isn’t true.
