If you google "rape jihad" - top two sites that come up are Frontpage Mag and Pamela Gellar. Not exactly reputable, to put it mildly. Hate sites, like Stormfront.
Rape is rape. But some people seem to need to make it into something more sinister.
Rape is sinister. The fact that you can't or won't acknowledge that is scary.
You are caught up into phrasing. Rape Jihad, ethnic cleansing, rape, sexual assaults, these are all despicable acts and as far as I am concerned there is no "best option"
Rape is rape. It's an expression of brutality and power over a woman by a person who considers a woman less than. There is no ethnic cleansing going on and no "rape jihad". Ethnic cleansing has a very specific term and what makes a joke out of this (not out of rape, but out of these claims) is that somehow - all these migrants, who come from dozens of different countries and backgrounds, and "united" in "rape jihad". It's like people casually using Nazi references to modern day leaders and events.
And still, there is a lack of solid emperical evidence to support this "jihad".
I would disagree.
Besides that, many of the described actions of these immigrants into Germany and other areas, is only shocking, if you don't know how it works in their home countries. It's very normal single women, in rural and tribal settings, to be simply taken and given to men. Syria even to this day has slavery of women, as a normal situation. Forced into slave labor, or prostitution, is normal in Syria, and other middle east countries.
The BBC did a documentary on this, where they interviewed existing, culturally adapted immigrants in Germany. People who have lived there for some years, and are now German citizens who learned German, and are part of German society. They themselves said, this wasn't surprising. The actions of these immigrants, closely resembled how they would act in their own country.
Part of the reason women are still treated like property, and are closely guarded by their family and tribe, isn't just because of ancient views on women (though no doubt that is part of it), it's also for their protection. You let your daughter wander outside the village, you are not likely to see her again. Some men from another village, or other province, will come by and snatch them away.
Granted the more cosmopolitan cities of Syria, that isn't the case. But immigrants are coming from all over, not just the more acceptable upscale city areas.
Great post.
This is the exact reason why I think none of these migrants should be allowed into the west. It is too much of a burden on them to overcome.
How can they be expected to change their animalistic behavior?
A more reasonable destination for them is in other parts of their continents where this is permitted or accepted. They would have a better chance to assimilate and fit in with those countries.
Really we are setting the Muslims up for failure by accepting into the west.
I would actually agree with that view somewhat. One thing that we could do, and should do, is require cultural adaptation. Germany doesn't play around with immigrants. You come, you must learn German. Not "stop" and "go" and "Yes I want fries with that"... you have to be fluent in German, and the German government is willing to subsidize, (not 100% but to some level), German integration classes.
I support this. I actually think that our STATE level government could encourage privately funded tax deducted, charities with subsidized English lessons, and basic American culture classes.
But beyond that, I agree with you. Culturally, Islamic people's are completely and utterly different than us. We have, no matter what the mindless left-wing anti-god people say, a Judaeo-Christian culture. People from Christian based cultures will have a much easier time adapting to our culture, and we should encourage more Christian immigration. But Islamic culture is fundamentally different, and causes all kinds of problems.
You can't shut down the entire assembly production plant, to have a dozen workers in Colorado, walk to the prayer room and face Mecca 3 times during the day. And that is an unavoidable problem.
We just had a double Saturday over-time work shift. The manager purchased Pizza for the entire crew. Unfortunately, he under-estimated the number of Islamist in the group. 10 people crowded around one Veg-Pizza, and then were disappointed when there was not enough.
This isn't going to go away. Culture matters. So on that I think we shouldn't encourage Islamic immigration. Not just to avoid problems ourselves, but also because it simply isn't good for them. Unless of course, they wish to be Christian, and adopt our culture.
