The Muslim rape-gang scandal in the U.K. made headlines some years ago. Thousands of indigenous British girls were sexually abused and tortured by grown men while woke authorities turned a blind eye. Now we have the junior-league version of this, albeit on a smaller scale.
In this case, a 15-year-old Iraqi-descent boy in Austria reportedly turned a 14-year-old non-Muslim girl into, essentially, a sex slave. Oh, the lad was alluring in the beginning, wooing the lass with his exotic persona and sweet words. But those words eventually changed to remarks such as “By Allah, I will kill you,” as he later used threats and blackmail to control her. The boy has now been arrested. But the immigration regime and mentality that set the stage for the problem haven’t been arrested, let alone reversed.
The RAIR Foundation reported on the story last Wednesday:
A 15-year-old boy sits in pretrial detention in Vienna. A 14-year-old girl, from a difficult home, met him on a trip organized by Austria’s youth welfare office. According to her own statement to police, given only after weeks of hesitation, what began as a secret relationship, secret because her mother opposed it, became months of captivity in plain sight.
He told her what to wear. He forced her to convert to Islam. He forced her into a hijab. When she posted photos of herself veiled, he approved: “Möge Allah dich beschützen,” may Allah protect you. When she tried to leave him, he threatened to publish nude photographs of her and bombarded her with messages on TikTok despite a no-contact order.
When she resisted him, according to chat logs cited by the Austrian outlet Heute, he wrote: “Bei Allah, ich werde dich töten.” By Allah, I will kill you. “Du Hure, ich werde dich töten.” You whore, I will kill you. Investigators recovered blood traces on a stairwell wall at Vienna’s Brigittaplatz, tied to the last of what she says were repeated rapes, the final one on July 7.
A Now Old Story
On August 9, the aforementioned Austrian news site Heute related the story’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde aspect, writing (auto-translated from German):
“He was nice in the beginning,” the victim [stated, describing] how they first became a couple…
The teenagers met in stairwells and parks, and the dynamics quickly changed. The 15-year-old “told me what to wear,” the girl said — after all, he had become violent towards her.
This is, however, a now old story. Just consider the 2008 PJ Media piece “American Woman, Arab Man: Tales of Horror in the Harem.” As author Phyllis Chesler, who herself fell victim to exotic masculine wiles, wrote of the many female victims:
The stories are gripping, terrifying, highly dramatic — and depressingly similar. At first, the men are utterly charming, generous, solicitous of their American girlfriend’s every need. After they are married to American citizens and can claim their own citizenship, they revert to form: Almost overnight, they become cruel, condescending, physically abusive, suspicious, insanely controlling, unfaithful, deceptive, and highly secretive. Look, she is not writing about the happy marriages; as her title suggests [critics will say of Chesler], she is writing about “abusive Muslim Husbands.” The need to balance everything out, to allow every point of view, will prove our undoing.
Mere Bias?
What Chesler is alluding to in her last line is that in our time (though it is changing a bit), we’ve fallen victim to religious relativism. There’s an unwritten agreement: “I won’t say my religion is better, and you don’t say yours is better. We’ll just agree that all religions are morally equal, and we can then get along fine.” The problem?
It’s illogical and irrational. After all, since different religions espouse different values, not all religions can be equal unless all values are so. Of course, Westerners have this rationalized away, too, because they’ve also embraced moral relativism. (And religious relativism is a corollary of it.) This holds that all “values” — or sense of virtue, as we really should call it — are equal. This belief is self-defeating, however.
For if all values are equal, how could love be better than hate or tolerance better than intolerance?
How could kindness and charity in religion’s name be superior to killing in its name?
Moral relativism actually boils down to moral nihilism because it casts morality as preference and renders it indefensible. It is, too, why Westerners — morally confused and weak as a group — wilt in the face of Islamic supremacism. The high morale and passion are with the absolutists, not the “Whatever works for you” types.
In reality, we hear much talk about “diversity.” But, by definition, group “diversity” implies differences among groups. And is it rational assuming all those differences would be positive?
Once Called “Aliens” for a Reason
If Westerners understood the above and took it seriously, we might craft more mature immigration policy. We wouldn’t fancy all peoples assimilable, but instead would view prospective immigrants more critically.
In fact, we’d do well to take retired intelligence specialist Ralph Peters’ advice. Start with the view that all foreign groups “are aliens from another cultural planet,” he stated in 2009. “Build your assessment from a blank slate. What do the alien collectives desire or fear? How do they perceive the galaxy?” And what is their moral framework?
Upon doing this, the behavior of the 15-year-old Iraqi-descent boy, and of other such male Muslims, becomes understandable — and predictable. As to this, consider what British authorities noted about the Muslim rape-gang members mentioned earlier. “There was an educational issue,” a Greater Manchester Police constable stated. “Asian [i.e., Muslim] males didn’t understand that it was wrong…”
This sounds like a cop-out, perhaps even on the cops’ part. Then again, it may be absolutely true. Just ponder, after all, what Islam expert Robert Spencer related in 2024:
The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.
Once again, “diversity” means differences. Some differences are cute; others kill. And yet others blind people to exotically packaged threats — until it’s too late.
