Excerpt of an article originally published under the title
"More Horrible than Rape."
|
A
20-year-old Syrian immigrant identified as "Rokstan M" (left)
was allegedly stabbed to death by her father (right) and brothers because
they felt that her past gang rape had left her "unclean."
|
The body
of a 20-year-old Syrian woman, "Rokstan M.," was unearthed
from a shallow grave in the small Saxon town of Dessau last week. Her
father and brothers stabbed her to death on her mother's orders, after she
was gang-raped by three men. The rape left her "unclean" and the
mother allegedly demanded the killing to restore the family's honor. German
police are seeking the father and brothers.
That by itself is not newsworthy. What is newsworthy is that this affair
did not appear in any of Germany's major daily newspapers or websites. The
tabloid Bild-Zeitung ran the story, along with the regional press,
while the arbiters of enlightened opinion buried it. Der Spiegel,
the country's biggest news site, and the Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung,
the newspaper of record, made no mention.
The case of Rokstan M. is heart-rending. She had found work in Germany
as a translator for the government, but she knew her family would track her
down and kill her. "I am awaiting death. But I am too young to
die," she had written on a social
media profile. Her story deserves a line or two in the quality press.
But it's one of many that German leaders want to ignore.
Political leaders in Germany—which may absorb 1.5
million migrants this year—are struggling
to respond to reports of a sex crime epidemic among newly-arrived Muslims.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere urged Germans not to believe rumors of
widespread rape at refugee centers, while Germany's police union chief Rainer
Wendt warned, "There is a lot of glossing over going on. But this
doesn't represent reality." Wendt added, "It is understandable
that there is the desire to calm things down politically."
Germany's elite knows perfectly well that the migrants bring social
pathologies, because they have already seen the world's worst sex crime
epidemic unfold in Scandinavia. Sweden now has the highest incidence of
reported rape outside of a few African countries, and nearly ten times the
rate of its European peers—and all this has happened in the past ten years.
Sweden ranks near the top of the World
Economic Forum's Gender Gap Index, yet it has become the most dangerous
country for women outside of Africa, with an incidence of rape ten times
that of its European peers. Sweden's political leaders not only refuse to
take action, but have made it a criminal offense to talk about it.
Even in liberated, feminist, gender-neutral Sweden, there is something
more horrible than rape, something horrible enough to persuade the
political elite to sacrifice the physical and mental health of tens of
thousands of Swedish women. That is the horror of social disintegration in
the Muslim world. Sweden opened its borders to refugees twenty years before
the migrant flood arrived on Germany's doorstep, and the foreign born rose
from 9% of the population in 1990 to 15.4% in 2012. Foreigners have a
higher birth rate, so the percentage is higher including second-generation
immigrants.
There have been protests, to be sure, and nationalist parties like the
Sweden Democrats have gained support on an anti-immigration platform, but
Sweden will remain supine as its social fabric unravels. So, I expect, will
Germany. Europe is transfixed by the horror unfolding from Libya to
Afghanistan, as one of the world's major civilizations unravels in real
time. In its moment of agony, the Muslim world's most potent weapon is its
own weakness. The human cost of the collapse of Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan,
Iraq and Syria is horrendous, but it is small thus far compared to the
horrors that would attend instability in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and
Bangladesh. The West can't bear to look at it.
The incidence of rape in Sweden has tripled in the past ten years as the
country became Europe's premier destination for Muslim immigrants. Writing
for the Gatestone
Institute, Ingrid Carlqvist and Lars Hedegaard observe,
Since 2000, there has only been one
research report on immigrant crime. It was done in 2006 by Ann-Christine
Hjelm from Karlstads University. It emerged that in 2002, 85% of those
sentenced to at least two years in prison for rape in 2002 were foreign born
or second-generation immigrants.
A 1996 report by the Swedish National
Council for Crime Prevention reached the conclusion that immigrants from
North Africa (Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia) were 23 times as likely
to commit rape as Swedish men. The figures for men from Iraq, Bulgaria and
Romania were, respectively, 20, 18 and 18. Men from the rest of Africa were
16 times more prone to commit rape; and men from Iran, Peru, Ecuador and
Bolivia, 10 times as prone as Swedish men.
A new trend reached Sweden with full
force over the past few decades: gang rape — virtually unknown before in
Swedish criminal history. The number of gang rapes increased spectacularly
between 1995 and 2006. Since then no studies of them have been undertaken.
Sweden not only stands by while a large number of its women are raped,
but outlaws public discussion of the causes. Michael Hess, a
Social-Democratic population, was condemned by a Swedish court under a law
forbidding denigration of ethnic groups. for writing in 2014, "There is
a strong connection between rapes in Sweden and the number of immigrants
from MENA countries [Middle East and North Africa]."
