Trust you to discount something simply because a muslim wrote it
Trust you to discount a fact simply because I said it
This teenager handed himself in, none of the Cologne attackers did.
Spot the cultural difference.
She then tries to compare being sexually assaulted in the dark by large groups of men with no one to help, with being wound up during the day in front of a whole camera crew (say six people) in relative safety.
Then suggesting those teenagers were Christian Germans, now while they were clearly white Germans, to suggest they were Christian or that religion was the reason for this is clearly trying to blame shift away from Islam -
"look, Christians raping people"
She then likened the claims of rape to the fantasies of racist conspiracy theorists, when they were just facts being covered up by the State.
Then suggesting that rape is a normal thing because white people rape half a million in the UK. Not sure what this has to do with Germany, or why we should treat this any differently.
Then she tries to discredit the clear association of an increase in rapes with immigrants by invoking Hitler (Godwins Law), and again a reference to "beer swilling Christians".
If anyone else had tried to associate such a bizarre stereotype with Islam do you imagine it would have been published?
Is every concern about immigration going to be censored by invoking Nazi's? Which she then does in the next paragraph, just in case you were still pretending this was unbiased...
"Brown men are not inherently more misogynistic or brutal than white men"
Being disingenuous again, because the culture of those "
brown men" is often misogynistic and brutal (by our cultural standards), but she sidesteps this fact by pretending this is somehow about race.
But then instantly jumps back to religion by saying
"Muslims are just as likely to be family-orientated, peaceful citizens ", and yes they areBut by quickly swapping the context she is manipulating the readerinto thinking this is about race when it's clearly about culture.
Zoomee this was a shoddy bit of journalism, and yes I doubt someone who wasn't from a muslim background would have been so desperate to blame shift because they wouldn't have been so anxious about how this was being seen.
