The Cologne rapes and our culture of denial

Dennis Prager writes:

The men in Cologne lacked the value system and the self-control that we (mistakenly) take for granted in the West.
Which brings us to the second important aspect of the Cologne attacks that is widely denied: moral differences between cultures.
Hundreds of German women haven’t been sexually assaulted at previous New Year’s celebrations in Cologne. The reason is that hundreds of German men don’t gather to do this. Why? Because they are the beneficiaries of centuries of Western Judeo-Christian and secular values relating to sexual conduct. The attackers — nearly all of whom are believed to be immigrants from Muslim countries — are not the beneficiaries of those value systems.
Of course, not all Muslim men feel free to attack women, but many do — especially among those coming from Arab countries, and some non-Arab countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia.
Thus, there have been many incidents of rape by Muslim immigrants in the United Kingdom, Sweden and elsewhere in Europe, in addition to Germany. Only the silence of European media and politicians has prevented this from becoming a widely known European moral scandal.
In Sweden, rape was exceedingly rare until large numbers of Muslim immigrants arrived. As early as 1996, a Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention report revealed that Muslim immigrants from North Africa were 23 times more likely to commit rape than Swedish men. Yet when a Muslim commits a rape, the media refer to him only as Swedish.
According to a BBC report, the number of rapes in Sweden tripled between 2003 and 2010. According to Swedish writer Ingrid Carlqvist, “Forty years after the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the formerly homogenous Sweden into a multicultural country, violent crime has increased by 300% and rapes by 1,472%.”
This month, the BBC reported: “Last year, there were numerous sexual assaults at a music festival in Stockholm — many by migrant youths — but police did not make the information public. They have now admitted that keeping silent was ‘a big mistake.’ ”
In Rotherham, England, at least 1,400 girls from as young as 11 years old were gang raped from 1997 to 2013 by gangs of mostly Pakistani male immigrants. But the police and government officials did nothing and covered it up because of fears of being called Islamophobic.
In Denmark, the state’s official statistical office, Statistics Denmark, revealed that in 2010, more than half of convicted rapists had an immigrant background. Readers will also recall the gang rape and sexual assault of CBS reporter Lara Logan by at least 200 Egyptian men in Cairo’s Tahrir Square in 2011.
And none of this touches on the instances of individual and gang rape of young Muslim women in Europe. But since these immigrants’ cultures usually hold women responsible for their own rapes, far fewer Muslim women report being raped.
The same ideology that denies male-female differences denies cultural moral differences. I won’t name it. Try to guess.
