Normally, there are only two possible courses of action.
The most natural thing would be for the victim to report the crime and assist the police as best she can. Alternatively, some women may be so traumatised that they may choose to suffer in silence.
‘Normally’ was actually a disclaimer, for our time is far from normal. Witness the dilemma that gored Selin Gören with its horns.
Selin, 24, is a German woman, a prominent member of the Linksjugend Solid, an extremist far-left youth organisation. Her remit is to make sure the millions of aliens cordially invited by Angela Merkel suffer no racist abuse.
If what happened on 27 January weren’t so disgustingly awful, one would be prepared to suggest there was poetic justice to it. For three of those potential victims of understated hospitality grabbed Selin off the street and dragged her into a dark playground.
There she was forced to ‘perform a sexual act’ on two of them, with the third assailant providing a blow-by-blow commentary, accompanied by hissing abuse at the victim. At least that’s what she thought it was, for her assailants were Arabic-speaking migrants.
Eventually the girl broke loose and ran to the nearest police station, where she experienced a severe conflict of pieties. Yes, she had been subjected to a violent and degrading assault. However, she was concerned that, should the details of the gang rape become known, anti-Muslim feelings would become even stronger.
Hence the third possible course of action, one I didn’t think of: Selin went to the police but lied to them. Omitting the rape, she only said that her handbag had been stolen – by “foreigners and Germans alike”, all speaking German.
However, having discovered the next morning that the libidinous Mohammedans had raped another woman in the area, she owned up. Presumably out of sympathy for her ordeal, the police didn’t charge her with perverting the course of justice – to the regret of those who refuse to accept against all evidence that we now live in a madhouse.
But Selin then suffered another attack, that of remorse. Consequently she did what anyone experiencing such feeling would do: she apologised, using her Facebook page as the medium. Addressing a hypothetical collective Muslim, a recent arrival in Germany, Gören wrote (I’m abridging her rambling message):
“Dear male refugee,
“I am so incredibly sorry! I am happy and glad that you made it here. But I fear you aren’t safe here.
“You aren’t safe here because we live in a racist society. I am not safe here, because we live in a sexist society.
“But what truly makes me feel sorry is the circumstances by which the sexist and boundary-crossing acts that were inflicted on me may make you beset by increasing and more aggressive racism.
“I promise you… I will not stand by idly and watch as racists and concerned citizens call you a problem.
“You are not the problem. You most often are a wonderful human being, who deserves to be free and safe like everyone else.
“Thank you that you exist, and glad to have you here.”
In other words, “the sexist and boundary-crossing acts” were inflicted on Selin by Germany’s society, not by those three “wonderful human beings”. Absolved of any personal responsibility, they’re as much the victims of the gang rape as Selin is.
According to the same post, many other women are also driven by their flaming conscience not to report being raped by Muslims. God forbid someone might suggest that the country’s immigration policy ought to be more selective. They’d rather suffer in silence and let the innocent victims of society go on raping to their hearts’ content.
One wonders if Swedish women, 40 of whom have so far been raped during the ongoing Islamic festival, are equally forgiving. Some judges from here to Australia certainly are: they often let Muslim rapists off, citing ‘cultural differences’ as an extenuating circumstance. Does the compulsion to stone adulterers or castrate young girls also fall into that category, Your Honours?
Does suicide bombing? It could be plausibly argued that, while our culture encourages us to build skyscrapers, the Muslims’ culture makes them fly hijacked airliners into those skyscrapers. Vive la différence and all that.
The problem indeed isn’t with the Muslims, Selin is right about that: they are what they are. The problem is with us: we are what we’ve become.
We’ve jettisoned absolute truth as the ballast holding us down. As a result our reason has lost any teleological aspect – in other words, it has stopped being reason. Instead we’re each encouraged to have our personal sets of little truths: you like one thing, he likes another, they like a third – who’s to say which is right?
The only judgement we accept is not to be judgemental: nothing is right or wrong, anything goes. If in the past people like Selin would have been confined to the margins, possibly to the lunatic asylum, today they set the tone for the whole society. Increasingly they are the whole society.
Saying that they ought to be confined to the margins, possibly to the lunatic asylum, is already difficult; before long it’ll become illegal. Brace yourself: before long Selin will become an EU Commissioner. She’s amply qualified.
Leftism strikes me more and more as being essentially a suicide cult. They promote policies which will surely result in their own extinction; they attack those who stand between them and the barbarians, so that when they have succeeded in defeating the forces that would otherwise defend the West they will then be powerless to resist the invasion.
They possess a set of beliefs that does not correspond to any known reality; but they cling to their cherished beliefs in the absence of any evidence. They have their own parallel sources of information which shelter them from any substantive challenge to their world view.
You would have as much luck trying to convince a devout Hindu to eat a hamburger as you would have trying to convince a Leftist that global warming was not an existential threat to civilization. The real threats to civilization, not so much.
One word: Enlightenment.
The description for this has to be Grope-think.
If Selin had done the right thing in the first place she may have prevented the other victim the pain of gang rape. The fact she ignored the crime initially means that she sent a message to other would be rapists that it is acceptable to overpower and rape a female against they will. To me on both counts Selin should be ashamed of her selfish actions and should feel a sense of responsibility for other women who could suffer sexual attack on account of her misguided attitude .
For centuries, the left brought Tears, Destruction and Mass Genocides to their own people and nations.
The left, champagne socialists, are fully aware that Muslims have waged a HUGE RAPE JIHAD on our women and children in Britain and Europe for decades. Allowed by our evil rulers.
Every day, the leftist woman and her fellow leftists are digging our graves.
Form Defence Groups. Immediately.
The Tribe that rape another tribes women symbolises conquest, domination and suppression of the weaker Tribe. See these things has they really are
