Multi-culturalism at its Finest
2003-10-25
From Mark Steyn:

EFL - read the whole thing:

In August, in Sydney, the pack leader of a group of Lebanese Muslim gang-rapists was sentenced to 55 years in gaol. I suppose I ought to say “Lebanese-Australian” Muslim gang-rapists, since the accused were Australian citizens. But, identity-wise, the rambunctious young lads considered themselves heavy on the Lebanese, light on the Australian. During their gang rapes, the lucky lady would be told she was about to be “fucked Leb style” and that she deserved it because she was an “Australian pig”.
But, inevitably, it’s the heavy sentence that’s “controversial”. After September 11th, Americans were advised to ask themselves, “Why do they hate us?” Now Australians need to ask themselves, “Why do they rape us?” As Monroe Reimers put it on the letters page of The Sydney Morning Herald:

As terrible as the crime was, we must not confuse justice with revenge. We need answers. Where has this hatred come from? How have we contributed to it? Perhaps it’s time to take a good hard look at the racism by exclusion practised with such a vengeance by our community and cultural institutions.

Indeed. Many’s the time, labouring under the burden of some or other ghastly government policy, I’ve thought of pinning some gal down and sodomising her while 14 of my pals look on and await their turn. But I fear in my case the Monroe Reimers of the world would be rather less eager to search for “root causes”. Gang rape as a legitimate expression of the campaign for social justice is a privilege reserved only unto a few.

......

Once upon a time we knew what to do. A British district officer, coming upon a scene of suttee, was told by the locals that in Hindu culture it was the custom to cremate a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre. He replied that in British culture it was the custom to hang chaps who did that sort of thing. There are many great things about India – curry, pyjamas, sitars, software engineers – but suttee was not one of them. What a pity we’re no longer capable of being “judgmental” and “discriminating”.

......

Islam For All approvingly reported the other day that, at present demographic rates, in 20 years’ time the majority of Holland’s children (the population under 18) will be Muslim. It will be the first Islamic country in western Europe since the loss of Spain. Europe is the colony now.

Or as Charles Johnson of the Little Green Footballs website drolly suggested: “Maybe we should start a betting pool: which European country will be the first to institute shari’a?”


Gaul, without a doubt - and Fred? I still loathe chickens.

#8   “Why do they rape us?”
What a pc dumb-ass.I guess Mz.Reimers is a propponet of the"I raped her cause she was wearing a halter top"defense.Reminds of the idiots who excuse a crime saying"It is not his fault,your Honor.He is the product of a poor,disenfranchised home.His daddy beat him and his Mamma din't love him".What a load.
Bet she would be screaming for a little revenge if she was on the recieving end of 14 depraved punks?

Could it possably be because these ass-wipes are taught at an early age that women are chattel.
Anon1,what is happening to the other rapists(this leaders"followers")? Do the get a pass on gang rape?

NMM,I see 2"Sheeple" here the punks who followed the head-punk,and you.You are the one controlled by the touchy,feely,"Can't we all just get along" Liberial Elit.

#7  Frank G "they'd rather attack Bush" the irony is you are whining about the man who will be the best financed candidate in American history since he's paid off all the special interests--Oil, pharma etc--he'll be re-elected by the sheeple--don't worry--but don't even try to play him as a "victim"

#6  As terrible as the crime was, we must not confuse justice with revenge.

Ah, revenge is an indivisible part of justice and what exactly is wrong with that? If it isn't part of justice, why bother with a trial and imprisonment? Why bother with doing anything about crime, it's just revenge afterall.

#5  .com I think you're right--but as a student at a state university in the Midwest in the 70's I found it humorous that the "ragheads" always were dating the fat girls

#4  sounds like a good campaign for NOW to undertake: energize French, Norwegian, etc. women to take back their society....but no, they'd rather attack Bush...the irony is immeasurable

#3  I'd say it's mainly 2 things (prolly much more to it):

1) In Islam, any female who isn't "properly" covered can be treated with contempt - as a whore. These Muslim gangs just use that as an excuse. Some have realized that the cops aren't coming, so the pretense seems to be falling away - they're just "wilding" - the term used by those asshats in the Central Park jogger rape - because they can get away with it.

2) As for the cops not coming... It's a Fort Apache thing... The "satellite ghettos" of not-quite-so-Gay Paree, for example, are isolated and dominated - something out of the futuristic nightmares (A Clockwork Orange - Malcom McDowell's parent's apt, for example) - perfect for local gangs. Probably similar to the "projects" housing in some major US cities.

That's my take from everything I've read, anyway.

So let's hear it for Liberal social-engineering via publicly-funded / subsidized housing policies!

#2  The rates of gang rape seem awful high in the moslem communities in Westen countries. I don't know if that has always been a sport in all ghettos or whether this is something particular to Islamic immigrants. Maybe allowing the kids to go out on dates would encourge the guys to learn to treat women as people. It would probably just increase the rate of date rape.

#1  Here's where many (some? most? your Aunt Harriet?) Merikans certainly differ with the other Western countries: the topic is Crime and Punishment. Not crime and rehab, or crime and color TV, or crime and a kickass Law Library, or crime and "the Loaf" - Crime and Punishment. Y'know, where it's not like a summer camp for Advanced B&E, it's actually an unhappy experience.

If the "I am so much holier than thou my feet don't get wet when I walk on water" types want to pretend that it's revenge and racism and that they are the true arbiters of justice and tut-tut over cocktails, then they will reap what they are sewing: brutal recidivism - and decay. I pity Anon1 and the rest of our Aussie friends.

I'm going to cover my butt:
$10 on the Nederlanders and $10 on zee Pfrench.
