National Public Radio attributes the high rate of gang rape in India to “unelected, all-male village councils” that “influence attitudes toward women.”
25
America was bristling with “all-male village councils” from around 1620 to 1960, and yet women here were astonishingly safe.
LATIN AMERICAN RAPE CULTURE
India’s rape culture is impressive, but, according to Professor Carlos Javier Echarri Cánovas of El Colegio de Mexico, who studies violence against women: “The fact is that the rate of rape in Mexico is higher than in India.”
26
A report from the Inter-American Children’s Institute explained that Latin America is second only to Asia in the sexual exploitation of women and children because sex abuse is “ingrained into the minds of the people.” Women and children are “seen as objects instead of human beings with rights and freedoms.”
27
Try to imagine waking up to this report on American cities: “Women, especially if they are young, working class and poor, run the risk of being murdered and having their mutilated and raped bodies show up some morning in the streets of numerous Latin American cities, as evidenced by the more than 1,500 cases reported in the last decade that remain unsolved and unpunished.”
That’s from a report by the Inter Press Service titled “Latin America: Women Murdered, Raped—and Ignored.”
28
The women’s corpses are typically defaced, especially the genital areas, and their bodies are “positioned so that their sex organs are exposed.” Commenting on the sexually macabre murders, Claudio Nash, the coordinator of the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Chile, said that in Latin America, “being subjected to these kinds of attacks is almost intrinsic to being a woman. They are not seen as violations of basic human rights.”
29
There are sex-segregated buses in Mexico
30
and a sex-segregated metro system in Delhi.
31
How will sex-segregated subway cars go over in New York City? Will Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg approve that in our new country? While we’re at it, why not let the Hottentots replace Supreme Court justices? They’ll make the court more vibrant.
MUSLIM RAPE CULTURE
By now, Muslim rape culture is well known in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark on account of their own deranged immigration policies. A 2001 police study in Oslo, Norway, for example, found that two out of three rapes were committed by Muslims.
32
But—as in America—the local press neurotically portray the Muslim rapists as “Swedish men.”
33
Muslim gang rapists taunt their victims in court.
34
The “grand mufti” of Australia, Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali, gave a speech blaming the Muslim rape epidemic on Australian women, for not being veiled. (“If you take uncovered meat, put it on the street . . . and the cats eat it, is it the fault of the cat or the
uncovered meat?”)
35
In the middle of the internationally covered “Arab Spring” protests in Egypt, a mob of Muslim men sexually assaulted a female CBS reporter, Lara Logan.
What do Muslims have to do to get the media to shift their focus from apocryphal fraternity rapes by preppie white guys to real rapes by these barbaric, alien cultures being foisted on the West?
The CBS broadcast in which Lara Logan described her “brutal sustained sexual assault” by Egyptian men celebrating in Tahir Square topped the Nielsen ratings.
36
But the
New York Times
devoted less newspaper ink to Logan’s actual rape than it did to a nonexistent rape by Duke lacrosse players. In fact, the
Times
published less about the sexual assault on Logan than it did on the Augusta National Golf Club’s all-male membership policy.
ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL—EXCEPT AMERICA’S, WHICH IS THE WORST
This is how PC kills. Political correctness requires that American women not be warned that, when they leave the West, they will be encountering cultures that do not share our Protestant virtues of self-restraint and legal equality.
Here are some news accounts of sexual assaults on Western tourists from a just few months in 2013 and 2014:
In February 2013, an American photographer from Staten Island was murdered on a “safe” street of Istanbul by a Turkish man, who hit her with a rock because she wouldn’t kiss him. A local storeowner downplayed the murder, saying, “If the woman does not flirt, a man would not attempt to do anything,” and adding, “Everything starts with a woman.” A thirty-year-old tour operator also blamed the murdered victim, saying, “She was asking for trouble.”
37
You know, by being a woman.
That same month, a female tourist from Italy was gang-raped by police in Mexico when she refused to pay a bribe
38
—the same police force accused
by a Canadian tourist of gang rape just a year earlier.
39
Around the same time, masked men broke into an Acapulco beach villa and gang-raped six tourists from Spain. A seventh woman was told she was not raped because she was a Mexican.
40
I’m trying to imagine what would happen if a group of white men gang-raped a half dozen Latinas, but skipped one woman because she was white.
The following month, in March 2013, a twenty-four-year-old Dutch woman working in Dubai was raped by a Sudanese colleague. When she reported the rape to the police, they asked her, “Are you sure you just didn’t like it?”
41
For reporting the rape, she was charged with the crime of having unlawful sex and sentenced to sixteen months in prison. A few months later, the polygamist ruler of Dubai pardoned her for the crime of being raped—and simultaneously pardoned her rapist.
42
In March 2013, a Swiss woman was gang-raped by seven or eight men while on a bicycle trip with her husband in India. The rapists tied her husband to a tree for him to watch.
43
That same month, a British tourist leapt from her third-floor hotel room in India to avoid being raped by
the hotel owner.
44
In April, a twenty-one-year-old American student was gang-raped for six hours inside a moving public transit minivan on the Copacabana Beach in Brazil. Her boyfriend was tied up and forced to watch. Among the accused rapists was the bus’s fourteen-year-old fare-taker.
45
In one month, January 2014, a Danish woman was robbed and gang-raped at knifepoint for three hours by men she had stopped in a popular Indian shopping district to ask for directions;
46
a Polish tourist traveling with her two-year-old daughter in India was raped by a cabdriver, then thrown along with her child to the side of the road;
47
and an eighteen-year-old charity worker from Germany was sexually assaulted on a train in India.
48
In March that year, a British woman was raped by a security guard who was walking her back to her room in a five-star hotel in Egypt. By the Egyptian government’s own account, staff at that one upscale hotel had been responsible for three other rapes as well as numerous sexual assaults in the previous two years.
49
BUT AMERICAN MEN ARE NO PICNIC, EITHER!
Lauren Wolfe, director of Women Under Siege at the Women’s Media Center, recounted many of these adventures in Third World travel in the
New York Times
, but smothered the facts with PC palaver about how it could happen anywhere. “Reports of rape
in all countries
[emphasis added],” she dutifully wrote, are undermined by “corruption and a cultural willingness to ignore violence considered ‘normal,’ even close to home.”
50
In all countries? Even when reporting on innocent American women being raped and molested throughout the Third World, the media won’t question their dogma that all cultures are equal—except American culture, which is the worst!
Wolfe admitted that when she searched for articles about tourists being raped in the United States, she didn’t find any. Instead, she kept getting more articles about American tourists being raped abroad. But Wolfe checked with Julia Drost, the policy and advocacy associate in women’s human rights at Amnesty International, and Drost confirmed that sexual violence “knows no national or cultural barriers.”
51
Most women travelers, Wolfe said, would agree that “bad things can happen when you get in a taxi in New York.”
52
Well, yeah: 99 percent of New York taxi drivers are immigrants.
53
IMMIGRANTS FLED THESE CULTURES!
Today, thanks to Teddy Kennedy, even Americans who haven’t technically left home are being forced to encounter these foreign rape cultures in their own country. Immigrants who thought they were fleeing backward, misogynistic societies are being attacked by the same rapists they knew back home. In 2009, illegal immigrant Juan Carlos Conseco-Figueroa raped a Hispanic immigrant in her Annapolis, Maryland, home, forcing the woman to perform oral sex on him at knifepoint, in front of children. He then grabbed the six-year-old, ripped off her clothes, and dragged her into a bedroom. As he was raping the child, police broke down the door.
54
Among the things that Conseco-Figueroa’s rape victim must have thought she was escaping by coming to America was the Hispanic rape culture. But without an immigration moratorium, soon the only difference between America and Mexico will be that in the United States, you’ll be able to push “one” for English. Immigrants may wonder why they bothered coming. Another few years of our current immigration policies, and we’ll all have to move to Canada to escape the rapes.
CASE NO. 3
| DEATH SENTENCE CHAMPIONS
I
NTERNATIONAL LAW WAS CREATED DURING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE
a group of Mexicans—and one African American—gang-raped and murdered two teenaged girls in Houston, Texas.
1
The crime made history in another way: It led to the most death sentences handed out for a single crime in Texas since 1949.
2
Do you even know about this case?
The only reason the media eventually admitted that the lead rapist, Jose Ernesto Medellin, was an illegal alien from Mexico was to try to overturn his conviction on the grounds that he had not been informed of his right, as a Mexican citizen, to confer with the Mexican consulate.
Journalists have an irritating tendency to skimp on detail when reporting crimes by immigrants, a practice that will not be followed here.
One summer night in June 1993, fourteen-year-old Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Peña, who had just turned sixteen, were returning from a pool party, and decided to take a shortcut through a park to make their 11:30 p.m. curfew. They encountered a group of Hispanic men, who were
in the process of discussing “gang etiquette,” such as not complaining if other members talked about having sex with your mother.
3
The girls ran away, but Medellin grabbed Jennifer and began ripping her clothes off. Hearing her screams, Elizabeth came back to help her friend.
For more than an hour, the five Hispanics and one black man raped the teens, vaginally, anally, and orally—“every way you can assault a human being,” as the prosecutor put it.
4
The girls were beaten, kicked, and stomped, their teeth knocked out and their ribs broken. One of the Hispanic men told Medellin’s fourteen-year-old brother to “get some,” so he raped one of the girls, too. But when it was time to kill the girls, Medellin said his brother was “too small to watch” and dragged the girls into the woods.
5
There, the girls were forced to kneel on the ground and a belt or shoelace was looped around their necks. Then a man on each side pulled on the cord as hard as he could. The men strangling Jennifer pulled so hard they broke the belt. Medellin later complained that “the bitch wouldn’t die.” When it was done, he repeatedly stomped on the girls’ necks, to make sure they were dead.
6
At trial, Medellin’s sister-in-law testified that shortly after the gruesome murders, Medellin was laughing about it, saying they’d “had some fun with some girls” and boasting that he had “virgin blood” on his underpants.
7
It’s difficult to understand a culture where such an orgy of cruelty is bragged about at all, but especially in front of women.
By the time the girls’ corpses were found four days later, their bodies were so badly decomposed that dental records were required for identification. The decomposition was especially pronounced in the head, neck, and genital areas.
8
Jennifer’s father, tipped off that bodies had been found, rushed to the scene, but the police held him back, as he shouted, “Does she have blond hair? Does she have blond hair?”
Activist Ralph Reed tells the
New York Times
that Republicans should take a more “charitable” view of immigration.
9
When he’s a fourteen-year-old
American girl being raped and murdered by Mexicans, we’ll be more interested in his ideas on charity.
GANG RAPIST SEES HIMSELF AS “THE GOOD GUY”
Arrested a few days later, the Mexican gang rapists were “utterly without remorse”—as the
New York Times
said in its one, lonely article on the case. Entering the court, the defendants cursed at reporters and kicked a news camera to the ground.
10
To the surprise of the police, Medellin not only confessed, but bragged about the grisly rape-murder.
