| Michael J. Totten, always always worth the read, describes the issue at length in the World Affairs Journal. Very long so just a few paragraphs here to whet your appetite. Egypt apparently is the worst, to which Lara Logan could attest. Hat tip Instapundit. |
Germany is in an uproar. Protests are breaking out everywhere, with demonstrators yelling “deport them” and carrying signs that say “Rapefugees not welcome” in English.
The culprits are mostly Arabs, and Merkel’s refugee policy is predictably collapsing as a result, but the rapefest in Cologne was not imported from Syria. It mostly comes from North Africa.
Women have fewer rights in the Middle East and North Africa than anywhere else in the world with the single exception of Afghanistan, and they’re abused far more often over there than anywhere in the West, but they aren’t routinely assaulted by hundreds of men in unruly mobs all at once anywhere except Egypt. |
