The men in Cologne lacked the value system and the self-control that we (mistakenly) take for granted in the West.
\nWhich brings us to the second important aspect of the Cologne attacks that is widely denied: moral differences between cultures.
\nHundreds of German women haven\u2019t been sexually assaulted at previous New Year\u2019s celebrations in Cologne. The reason is that hundreds of German men don\u2019t 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 \u2014 nearly all of whom are believed to be immigrants from Muslim countries \u2014 are not the beneficiaries of those value systems.
\nOf course, not all Muslim men feel free to attack women, but many do \u2014 especially among those coming from Arab countries, and some non-Arab countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia.
\nThus, 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.
\nIn 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.
\nAccording to a BBC report, the number of rapes in Sweden tripled between 2003 and 2010. According to Swedish writer Ingrid Carlqvist, \u201cForty 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%.\u201d
\nThis month, the BBC reported: \u201cLast year, there were numerous sexual assaults at a music festival in Stockholm \u2014 many by migrant youths \u2014 but police did not make the information public. They have now admitted that keeping silent was \u2018a big mistake.\u2019 \u201d
\nIn 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.
\nIn Denmark, the state\u2019s 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\u2019s Tahrir Square in 2011.
\nAnd none of this touches on the instances of individual and gang rape of young Muslim women in Europe. But since these immigrants\u2019 cultures usually hold women responsible for their own rapes, far fewer Muslim women report being raped.
\nThe same ideology that denies male-female differences denies cultural moral differences. I won\u2019t name it. Try to guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
