Islam and Rape: Joined at the Hip

Pamphlets being issued in Germany to Muslim male refugees that they are not to grope or fondle European women reveal the rank stupidity, ignorance, and sheer indifference of European leaders as they continue down a suicidal trajectory. Of course these men were going to engage in rape jihad, since sexual abuse is ingrained in their religion and culture. As psychologist Nicolai Sennels explains, "Mohammed, the prime example for Muslims, married Aisha when she was six and had intercourse with her when she was nine. Besides, according to the Quran (4:24), Muslims are allowed to have sex with female slaves[.]" In addition, "uncovered women are in many Muslim cultures seen as a kind of prostitute, and if a man is aroused by such a female, then – partly due to the corrupted logic of responsibility within Muslim psychology – the female is blamed for being raped (and will therefore often face execution)."

In 2010, Andrew C. McCarthy, in his book entitled The Grand Jihad, described rape by Muslim immigrants as the "unspoken epidemic of Western Europe." Six years later, it continues to expand and sweep across the continent. Ingrid Carlqvist documents how Sweden is now the rape capital of the West, and when "Michael Hess, a local politician from [the] Sweden Democrat Party, tried to warn his nation that 'it is deeply rooted in Islam's culture to rape and brutalize women who refuse to comply with Islamic teachings' he was charged with 'denigration of ethnic groups'" – a crime in Sweden. According to Islamic clerics, a woman who fails to wear a headscarf is asking to be raped. Consequently, in the eyes of Muslim men, Western women are seen as "promiscuous, loose, and willing," and since no one in the Islamic community refutes this, they engage in the violence and abuse of power that rape represents. In Australia, Lebanese gangs threaten policemen's wives and girlfriends with rape. In 2006, the mufti of Australia, Sheikh Taj al-Din al Hilali, maintained that "women who do not veil themselves, and allow themselves to be 'uncovered meat,' are at fault if they are raped." In Rotherham, England, some 1,400 British children as young as 11 were plied with drugs before being passed around and sexually abused by Muslims. As shocking as this was, it is the fifth sex abuse ring led by Muslims according to Raymond Ibrahim, who has been unremitting in his revelation of crimes committed in the name of Islam. According to Abigail R. Esman, since 2006 the Dutch have described how second-generation Moroccan youths grope Dutch women and call them sluts. Jamie Glazov describes the horrible scar that myriad women now bear. Known as "smiley," whereby "one side of the face is cut up from mouth to ear, it is a war mark left by Muslim rapists as a warning to other women who don't veil themselves." Thus, Muslim and now even non-Muslim women feel the pressure to veil themselves. And female European leaders in perfect synchronized dhimmitude stance tell women to "adopt a code of conduct" to discourage men from committing sexual assault. Jihadis are importing girls from Tunisia to satisfy their sexual needs. Sudan has long used rape against Christians and animists as well as against those Muslims in Darfur who were judged to be "insufficiently Islamic." In Nigeria, Boko Haram seized 300 schoolgirls in order to sell them on the open market. In Pakistan, the police do nothing as Hindu and Christian children as young as 7 years old are gang-raped and sold as prostitutes or slaves to wealthy Muslim families. From 2011 through 2014, approximately 550 Egyptian Coptic Christian girls were abducted and sexually abused by Muslim men. The recent revelation of packs of men assaulting women during New Year's celebrations in Cologne is but one of the barbaric behaviors permitted by the Koran whereby abusing infidel girls and women is a right, since they are spoils of war. Repeatedly, Muslim clerics maintain the legality of sex slavery. Sex slaves are not at all forbidden because their existence means that Muslim men will not have to "engage in forbidden sexual relations." Thus, it is perfectly fine to rape and enslave non-Muslims since they are little more than "chattels or possessions over whom [Muslims] have absolute authority." And white women are to be treated with "particular contempt." The Koran mandates the second-class status of women. Consequently, Muslim women have been forced to marry and have sex with men against their will. Should women violate any of the misogynist sharia laws, death will ensue. In 2013, an astonishing 91 percent of the upwards of 20,000 honor killings each year were committed by Muslims. Forty-three percent of women in Turkey and 82% in Morocco are victims of sexual and physical abuse. If this is how Muslim women are treated, certainly non-Muslim women can expect far worse. The ISIS magazine named "Dabiq" justifies the enslavement and rape of non-Muslim women because such acts follow Islamic tradition. Thus, Yazidi women and children are now sold by the Islamic state soldiers. Anyone who would argue against such behavior faces decapitation. Moreover, "gang rape is officially sanctioned as a legitimate form of keeping women marginalized and 'in their place.'" In fact, an ISIS fatwa listing15 rules for "using, selling, and sharing female slaves" was intercepted by Special Operations Forces in January of 2015. The distortion of healthy sexual and loving relationships that is so endemic in Muslim culture has resulted in the horrific scenes repeatedly played out across the world. Glazov emphasizes that "throughout the Islamic Middle East, men and women are taught to be vehemently opposed to pleasure, especially of the sexual variety. Men are raised not only forbidden to touch women, but to even look at them. Sex before marriage is not just a sin – but a criminal offence. It is punishable by a severe beating at best, and an execution at worst." Concerning suicide bombers, Dr. Tawfik Hamid explains that much of the motivation to join the jihadist cause is driven primarily by Muslim men's "extreme sexual frustration." The promise of 72 virgins waiting in heaven for a martyr of Islam is appealing to Muslim men, for whom sex is, to a large extent, unattainable. Child marriage, however, is sanctioned in Muslim countries, and pederasty is widespread. According to the late Christopher Hitchens, "Salman Rushdie's upsettingly brilliant psycho-profile of Pakistan, in his 1983 novel, Shame, rightly laid emphasis on the crucial part played by sexual repression in the Islamic republic." Hitchens asserted that this "is a society where rape is not a crime. It is a punishment. Women can be sentenced to be raped, by tribal and religious kangaroo courts, if even a rumor of their immodesty brings shame on their menfolk. In such an obscenely distorted context, the counterpart term to shame – which is the noble word 'honor' – becomes most commonly associated with the word 'killing.' Moral courage consists of the willingness to butcher your own daughter." At Gatestone Institute, a search under "Rape and Islam" results in over 20,000 pieces dealing with this topic. Paul Zanetti writes that while German chancellor Angela "Merkel was warned by everybody with any understanding of the Islamic ideology that potential disaster was only a matter of when – not if," she ignored them all. He cites a case of a 15-year-old Yazidi rape victim who recounted the following as she was raped by an Iraqi fighter. 'He kept telling me this is ibadah,' she said, using a term from Islamic scripture meaning worship. 'He said that raping me is his prayer to God.' I said to him, 'What you're doing to me is wrong, and it will not bring you closer to God.' And he said, 'No, it's allowed. It's halal.' In his reprint of the 1924 Islam and the Psychology of the Muslim by Andre Servier, Bill Warner quotes Besson, who asserted that "the Muslim, remaining faithful to his religion, has not progressed; he has remained stationary in a world of swiftly moving modern forces. It is, indeed, one of the salient features of Islamism that it immobilizes in their native barbarism the races whom it enslaves. It is fixed in a crystallization inert and impenetrable. It is unchangeable; and political, social or economic changes have no repercussion upon it." With European leaders doing nothing to protect their women, with American police forces purging materials critical to understanding domestic Islamic terrorism, and with Western feminists' deafening silence to the Muslim barbarism and abuse of women, what, indeed, will be the outcome as Islamic supremacists continue their advances in every sphere of our lives?
