'Nothing More than a Slut, a White Whore!'
How the Left validates Islam’s sexual fantasies and
victimization of Western women.

Horowitz Freedom Center.
Western women are to blame for being raped by Muslim
men. Such is the latest position—the latest apologia—being offered by
those Western elements dedicated to exonerating undesirable Muslim behavior,
particularly in order to continue taking in more Muslim migrants.
According to a August 9, 2019 report, “in the Swedish city of
Uppsala … four women were raped in as many days…. Two ‘completed
rapes’ took place last weekend, with another attempted rape on
Saturday night, and another sexual attack in the early hours of Wednesday
morning.”
So many (reported) rapes in so brief a time span should be
unsurprising considering that, since opening its doors to
“multiculturalism”—which mostly means taking in male Muslim “refugees”—rapes in
Sweden have increased by 1,472 percent, making it the rape capital of the world.
Although Uppsala Police failed to issue descriptions of the
rapists—usually a sure sign of their origins—they did issue warnings for women
to “think how they behave,” to “think ahead,” and not “go out alone” (original
Swedish language report here).
Sweden is hardly the only Western European nation to
implicate victims with their own rape. In late 2018 in Germany, seven
Muslim migrants raped a teenage German
girl in a park, after drugging her at a disco in Freiburg. (She at least
survived; in a similar case that occurred a week earlier in Italy, the drugged
rape victim was left murdered.) Freiburg’s
police chief responded by warning German
women not to “make yourself vulnerable by using alcohol or drugs.”
Advice against alcohol, drugs, and reckless behavior would
be more welcome and sincere were it not made under duress. As things
stand, it is a copout.
For example, after mobs of Muslim migrants sexually
assaulted as many as one thousand women on New
Year’s Eve 2016 in Cologne, Germany, its mayor, Henriette Reker, called on women to “be
better prepared, especially with the Cologne carnival coming up. For this, we
will publish online guidelines that these young women can read through to
prepare themselves.”
Or, as another report discussing the
aforementioned rape in Freiburg puts it, “The focus on prevention is a good
thing, but also shows how German authorities and media barely hold the migrant
crisis responsible for the disaster that is unfolding in Germany.
Political correctness has caused officials to put the blame for the criminal
acts on the women instead of Merkel’s guests.”
Similarly, in Austria, after a 20-year-old woman waiting at
a bus stop in Vienna was attacked, beat, and robbed by four Muslim
men—including one who “started [by] putting his hands through my
hair and made it clear that in his cultural background there were hardly any
blonde women”—police responded by telling the victim to dye her hair:
At first I was scared, but now I’m
more angry than anything. After the attack they told me that women shouldn’t be
alone on the streets after 8pm. And they also gave me other advice,
telling me I should dye my hair dark and also not dress in such a provocative
way. Indirectly that means I was partly to blame for what happened to me. That
is a massive insult.
In Norway, Unni Wikan, a female professor of social
anthropology at the University of Oslo, insists that “Norwegian
women must take their share of responsibility for these rapes,” because Muslim
men found their manner of dress provocative. The professor’s conclusion was not
that Muslim men living in the West need to adjust to Western norms, but the
exact opposite: “Norwegian women must realize that we live in a Multicultural
society and adapt themselves to it.”
So much for the feminist claim that women are free to dress
and behave as promiscuously and provocatively as they want—and woe to the man
who dares cite this as justifying male sexual aggression. Apparently this
feminist refrain does not apply to Muslim men.
But perhaps the greater irony is that all these excuses that
implicate female victims in their own rape agree with Islam’s unwavering
view—on display past and present—that European women are by nature sexually
promiscuous.
Consider Islamic views concerning the first “white” women
encountered. Muslims habitually portrayed neighboring Byzantine women as
sexually promiscuous by nature. Thus, for Abu Uthman al-Jahiz (b. 776), an
Abbasid court scholar, the females of Constantinople were the “most shameless women
in the whole world”; “they find sex more enjoyable” and “are prone to
adultery.” Abd al-Jabbar (b. 935), another prominent scholar, claimed that
“adultery is commonplace in the cities and markets of Byzantium”—so much so
that even “the nuns from the convents went out to the fortresses to offer
themselves to monks.”
For all these reasons and more, Byzantine women became
Islam’s “beautiful femme fatale who makes men lose their self-control,” as the
author of Byzantium Viewed by the Arabs explains:
Our [Arab/Muslim] sources show not
Byzantine women but writers’ images of these women, who served as symbols of
the eternal female—constantly a potential threat, particularly due to blatant
exaggerations of their sexual promiscuity. In our texts, Byzantine women are strongly
associated with sexual immorality. . . . While the one quality that our
[Muslim] sources never deny is the beauty of Byzantine women, the image that
they create in describing these women is anything but beautiful. Their
depictions are, occasionally, excessive, virtually caricatures, overwhelmingly
negative.
Such fevered fantasies—which “are clearly far from Byzantine
reality”—existed only in the minds of Muslim men. “The behavior of most women
in Byzantium was a far cry from the depictions that appear in Arabic sources.”
Regardless, not only did Muslim writers/scholars fail to
“revise” their opinion concerning Byzantine women; they subsequently went on to
portray all white/European women encountered—including Frankish,
Spanish, and Slavic women—in the same manner.
Today, little has changed (except, as shall be seen, Western
responses): all European women continue to be seen as naturally promiscuous and
provoking Muslim men into raping them. Thus in the United Kingdom, a
Muslim man explained to a British woman why he was raping her: “you white women are good at it.”
Another Muslim man called a 13-year-old virgin “a little white slag”—British
slang for “loose, promiscuous woman”—before raping her.
Another British woman was trafficked to Morocco where she
was prostituted and repeatedly raped by dozens of Muslim men. They “made
me believe I was nothing more than a slut, a white whore,” she recollects. “They treated me
like a leper, apart from when they wanted sex. I was less than human to
them, I was rubbish.”
In Germany, a group of Muslim “refugees” stalked a 25-year-old
woman, hurled “filthy” insults at and taunted her for sex. They too
explained their logic to her—“German girls are just there for sex”—before
reaching into her blouse and groping her. A Muslim man who almost killed
his 25-year-old German victim while raping her—and shouting “Allah!”—asked
afterwards if she enjoyed it.
In Austria, an “Arabic-looking man” approached a 27-year-old
woman at a bus stop, pulled down his pants, and “all
he could say was sex, sex, sex,” prompting the woman to scream and flee.
In Australia, a Muslim cabbie groped and insulted his female
passengers, including by saying “All Australian women are sluts and deserve
to be raped.”
In short, the ancient Islamic motif concerning the alleged
promiscuity of European women is alive and well—irrespective of the latter’s
behavior—and continues justifying the Muslim rape of Western women.
The only thing “new” is that Muslim would-be rapists can
turn to those “progressive” elements that dominate Western society for
cover. For, just as “the Left” has worked long and hard to portray
Islamic intolerance, violence, and terrorism as the West’s fault—because of the
crusades, because of colonialism, because of Israel, because offensive
cartoons—it now adds Islam’s perverted fantasies concerning Western women
to the list of reasons that “provoke” Muslims to lash out.
Note: For numerous documented examples of Muslims
sexually objectifying and enslaving Western women throughout history, see
author’s new book, Sword and Scimitar,
which also sources many of the above quotes.
