Western Muslims' Racist Rape Spree

In Australia, Norway, Sweden and other Western nations, there is a distinct
race-based crime in motion being ignored by the diversity police: Islamic men
are raping Western women for ethnic reasons. We know this because the rapists
have openly declared their sectarian motivations.
When a number of teenage Australian girls were subjected to hours of sexual
degradation during a spate of gang rapes in Sydney that occurred between 1998
and 2002, the perpetrators of these assaults framed their rationale in
ethnic terms. The young victims were informed that they were "sluts" and "Aussie
pigs" while they were being hunted down and abused.
In Australia's New South Wales Supreme Court in December 2005, a visiting
Pakistani rapist testified that his victims had no right to say no, because
they were not wearing a headscarf.
And earlier this year Australians were outraged when Lebanese Sheik Faiz
Mohammed gave a lecture in Sydney where he informed his audience that rape
victims had no one to blame but themselves. Women, he said, who wore skimpy
clothing, invited men to rape them.
A few months earlier, in Copenhagen, Islamic mufti and scholar, Shahid
Mehdi created uproar when - like his peer in Australia - he stated that women who
did not wear a headscarf were asking to be raped.
And with haunting synchronicity in 2004, the London Telegraph reported that
visiting Egyptian scholar Sheik Yusaf al-Qaradawi claimed female rape victims
should be punished if they were dressed immodestly when they were raped. He
added, "For her to be absolved from guilt, a raped woman must have shown good
conduct."
In Norway and Sweden, journalist Fjordman warns of a rape epidemic. Police
Inspector Gunnar Larsen stated that the steady increase of rape-cases and the
link to ethnicity are clear, unmistakable trends. Two out of three
persecutions for rape in Oslo are immigrants with a non-Western background and 80
percent of the victims are Norwegian women.
In Sweden, according to translator for Jihad Watch, Ali Dashti, "Gang rapes,
usually involving Muslim immigrant males and native Swedish girls, have
become commonplace." A few weeks ago she said, "Five Kurds brutally raped a
13-year-old Swedish girl."
In France, Samira Bellil broke her silence - after enduring years of
repeated gang rapes in one of the Muslim populated public housing projects - and
wrote a book, In the hell of the tournantes, that shocked France. Describing how
gang rape is rampant in the banlieues, she explained to Time that, "any
neighborhood girl who smokes, uses makeup or wears
attractive clothes is a whore." Unfortunately, Western women are not the
only victims in this epidemic.
In Indonesia, in 1998, human rights groups documented the testimony of over
100 Chinese women who were gang raped during the riots that preceded the fall
of President Suharto. Many of them were told: "You must be raped, because you
are Chinese and non-Muslim." Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported that in
April 2005, a 9-year-old Pakistani girl was raped, beaten with a cricket
bat, hanged upside down from the ceiling, had spoonfuls of chillies poured into
her mouth, and repeatedly bashed while handcuffed. Her Muslim neighbours told
her they were taking revenge for the American bombing of Iraqi children and informed her they were doing it because she was an "infidel and a
Christian."
In Sudan - where Arab Muslims slaughter black Muslim and Christian Sudanese
in an ongoing genocide - former Sudanese slave and now a human rights'
activist Simon Deng says he witnessed girls and women being raped and that the Arab
regime of Khartoum sends its soldiers to the field to rape and murder. In
other reports, women who are captured by government forces are asked; "Are you
Christian or Muslim?" and those who answer Christian, are gang raped before
having their breasts cut off.
This phenomenon of Islamic sexual violence against women should be treated
as the urgent, violent, repressive epidemic it is. Instead, journalists,
academics, and politicians ignore it, rationalize it, or ostracize those who dare
discuss it.
In Australia, when journalist Paul Sheehan reported honestly on the Sydney
gang rapes, he was called a racist and accused of stirring up anti-Muslim
hatred. And when he reported in his Sydney Morning Herald column that there was a
high incidence of crime amongst Sydney's Lebanese community, fellow
journalist, David Marr sent him an e-mail stating, "That is a disgraceful column that
reflects poorly on us all at the Herald." Keysar Trad, vice-president of the
Australian Lebanese Muslim Association said the gang rapes were a "heinous"
crime but complained it was "rather unfair" that the ethnicity of the rapists
had been reported.
Journalist Miranda Devine reported during the same rape trials that all
reference to ethnicity had been deleted from the victim impact statement because
the prosecutors wanted to negotiate a plea bargain.
So when Judge Megan Latham declared, "There is no evidence before me of any
racial element in the commission of these offences," everyone believed her.
And the court, the politicians and most of the press may as well have raped
the girls again.
Retired Australian detective Tim Priest warned in 2004 that the Lebanese
gangs, which emerged in Sydney in the 1990s - when the police were asleep - had
morphed out of control. "The Lebanese groups," he said, " were ruthless,
extremely violent, and they intimidated not only innocent witnesses, but even the
police that attempted to arrest them."
Priest describes how in 2001, in a Muslim dominated area of Sydney two
policemen stopped a car containing three well-known Middle Eastern men to search
for stolen property. As the police carried out their search they were
physically threatened and the three men claimed they were going to track them down,
kill them and then rape their girlfriends.
According to Priest, it didn't end there. As the Sydney police called for
backup the three men used their mobile phones to call their associates, and
within minutes, 20 Middle Eastern men arrived on the scene. They punched and
pushed the police and damaged state vehicles. The police retreated and the gang
followed them to the police station where they intimidated staff, damaged
property and held the police station hostage.
Eventually the gang left, the police licked their wounds, and not one of
them took action against the Middle Eastern men. Priest claims, "In the minds of
the local population, the police are cowards and the message was, 'Lebanese
[Muslim gangs] rule the streets.'"
In France, in the banlieues, where gang rape is now known simply as
tournantes or 'pass-around,' victims know the police will not protect them. If they
complain, Samir Bellil said, they know that they and their families will be
threatened.
However, Muslim women in the French ghettos are finally fighting back
against gang rape and police non-action. They have begun a movement called, "We're
neither whores nor doormats." They are struggling against the intrinsic
violence that plagues their neighbourhoods and the culture that condones it.
In most French prosecutions, the Muslim rapists state that they do not
believe they have committed a crime. And in a frightening parallel with the gang
rapists in Australia, they claim the victim herself is to blame and accuse her
of being a "slut" or a "whore."
According to The Guardian, during the recent French riots, a Saudi Prince
with shares in News Corporation boasted to a conference in Dubai that he had
phoned Rupert Murdoch and complained about Fox News describing the disturbances
as "Muslim riots." Within half an hour he said, it was changed to "civil
riots."
Swedish translator, Ali Dashti, stated that in Sweden when three men raped a
22-year-old woman recently, they said one word to her. "Whore." Such
stories, according to Dashti, are in the Swedish newspapers every week. And, the
politically correct "take great care not to mention the ethnic background of the
perpetrators."
Sweden's English newspaper The Local reported in July that Malmo police
commander Bengt Lindström had been charged with inciting racial hatred. He sent
e-mails from his home computer to two city officials. To the head of
healthcare, he wrote: "You...treat old Swedes who have worked hard building up the
fatherland like parasites and would rather give my taxes to criminals called
Mohammed from Rosengärd."
In Malmo, the third largest city in Sweden, the police have admitted, Dashti
says, that they no longer control the city. "It is effectively ruled by
violent gangs of Muslim immigrants." Ambulance personnel are regularly attacked
and spat upon and are now refusing to help until a police escort arrives. The
police are too afraid to enter parts of the city without backup.
In early 2005, Norwegian newspapers reported that Oslo had recorded the
highest ever number of rape cases in the previous twelve months. However,
Fjordman explained, the official statistics contained no data regarding "how
immigrants were grossly over represented in rape cases", and the media remain so
strangely silent.
Oslo Professor of Anthropology, Unni Wikan, said Norwegian women must take
responsibility for the fact that Muslim men find their manner of dress
provocative. And since these men believe women are responsible for rape, she stated,
the women must adapt to the multicultural society around them.
The BBC pulled a documentary scheduled for screening in 2004, after police
in Britain warned it could increase racial tension. "In these exceptional
circumstances... Channel 4 as a responsible broadcaster has agreed to the
police's request..." The documentary was to show how Pakistani and other Muslim men
sexually abused young, white English girls as young as 11.
The number of rapes committed by Muslim men against women in the last decade
is so incredibly high that it cannot be viewed as anything other than
culturally implicit behaviour. It is overtly reinforced and sanctioned by Islamic
religious leaders who blame the victims and excuse the rapists.
In three decades of immigration into Western countries, Islam has caused
social upheaval and havoc in every one of its host countries. No other
immigration program has encountered the problems of non-assimilation and religious
ambiguity.
Everywhere in the world, Muslims are in conflict with their neighbours. And
as Mark Steyn recently said, every conflict appears to have originated by
someone with the name of Mohammed.
In July 2005, Melbourne Sheik Mohammad Omran told Sixty Minutes that "...we
believe we have more rights than you because we choose Australia to be our
home and you didn't. "
In the same interview visiting Sheik Khalid Yasin warned "There's no such
thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend, so a non-Muslim could be your
associate but they can't be a friend. They're not your friend because they don't
understand your religious principles and they cannot because they don't
understand your faith."
Despite being told over and over by Islamic scholars, and witnessing massive
influxes of Islamic crime, Western countries continue to believe in the
reality of assimilation and moral relativism.
In Australia, Lebanese Christians have assimilated and become a respected
part of our community. The Premier of Victoria is a Lebanese Christian as is
the Governor Of New South Wales. However, Lebanese Muslims have encountered
serious problems because of their refusal to accept our right to live our way of
life. Nothing so clearly demonstrates that it is not an issue of race - but
of culture.
