The sons of the prophet have a hobby

From The Brussels Journal:

Norway's most important paper Aftenposten ran a story earlier this week saying that 65% of the rape crimes in Oslo were committed by foreigners, even though they only represent a mere 23% of the population in the Norwegian capital. The article was prompted by a call by the Rape Commission (Voldtektsutvalget) to the imams to put rapes and the attitude against women on the agenda.

Foreigners are six times more likely to figure in crime statistics concerning rapes in Oslo. During the first two months of this year sixteen rapes and rape attempts have been committed, and the three men the police are looking for in connection with four of those cases have one thing in common: they all have a Muslim background. Especially Somalis and Iraqis seem to be well represented in the statistics.

Even though the article doesn't do much more than quote some simple basic facts, it was nevertheless a bit controversial. The social democratic minister Bjarne Håkon Hanssen reacted quickly to condemn the tone of the article since it made a link between rapes and Muslims. According to him, asking the imams for help is wrong, «because we don't ask Norwegian bishops for help either when a Norwegian rapes somebody». Apparently the minister had not noticed that the debate had started precisely because of the huge number of Muslims in the rape statistics. And I wouldn't even dare to suggest he could have another agenda than trying to reduce the number of rapes in the Norwegian capital.

To an Muslim who takes the Koran seriously a Western woman is nothing but a whore because she goes about without an escort and with her face uncovered wearing clothes which show off the shape of her body. Rape is simply what she is asking for.

That the American feminist "sisterhood" finds nothing troubling about this, or at least nothing so troubling as to justify any concrete action, gives an infallible indication of where their true allegiance lies. They are not about the well being of women at all, but are simply one more group of shills for left-liberalism.

Like the black so called leaders who actively promote policies which keep their fellow blacks poor, ignorant, angry and dependant in order to be able to deliver a large block of votes for Democrat candidates the feminist leadership also sacrifices the interests of women on the alter of power for leftist politicians.

What else explains their hatred of George W Bush who is only the man who liberated the women of two Muslim nations from the cruelest oppression? In the case of Afghanistan the women were being tormented by evil old men in religious robes who would hang or stone them for exposing an ankle and in the somewhat more secular Iraq they were nothing more than fodder for the "rape rooms" of Saddam's demonic sons.

It is a curious thing about the worldview of the left that it inverts reality. To the person looking at the world through the prism of modern liberalism up seems down and evil appears good. What do you imagine the result would be if the vision of the American people could be restored so that they could see the world as it truly was?
