Cologne Sexual Assault Victim Called a Racist and Harassed After Identifying Her Attackers
Breibart ^ | 13 Jan 2016 | John Sexton

Posted on 01/14/2016 7:33:03 AM PST by GonzoII

A woman, who came forward and told her story of being sexually assaulted in Cologne, Germany, on New Years Eve, was victimized a second time after an Internet video gave out her identity and suggested her account of the attack was anti-Muslim propaganda.

The 26-year-old woman named Selina withheld her full name when she gave an interview to German television channel SWR Fernsehen last week. In the interview, she described her moment of terror being surrounded by dozens of men who looked at her like "free meat at the supermarket" and groped her repeatedly. She noted that her attackers spoke Arabic and did not seem to understand German. She described the group of men as "southern looking" with "darker skin."

In a follow-up interview with SWR Fernsehen, Selina describes what happened to her after the interview aired. Someone posted a video containing a portion of her interview and suggesting all of the reports blaming Muslims for the Cologne sexual assaults were propaganda. Titles appear in the video which say, "Strange that Selina 1 day after this horror (3 days before this interview) on Insta still was happy."

That's apparently a reference to her Instagram account which the video creator found along with her Facebook page. The video not only suggests Selina is wrong about who attacked her but includes images of her full name and where she works from her Facebook page.

The video went viral and was viewed nearly a quarter of a million times. Selina eventually saw it on the Facebook page of an Islamic preacher who has been described as radical in the German media. She tells SWR Fernsehen she became frightened, wondering, "What if someone sees who believes it or has a radical background?" She began getting threatening calls at work and people were..

Speaking ill of muslims is racist? I’m waiting for Christians to become a ‘race’.

The “War on Women” card takes second place to the Race Card, and it’s trivial compared to the Anti-Muslim Backlash Card. In liberal victimology, facts do not matter. The only issue is who has the greatest claim to special privileges, and she just lost. Big time. Next time she is assaulted by thugs, I hope she has a gun, or at least a knife - government (whether in the USA or in Germany) will no longer protect ordinary people.

The obvious solution is that these women are going to need to arm themselves, and start bringing in carcasses as proof of the identity of their attackers.

This is what happens when you let them into the country. I wonder if the imam was a moderate or a radical or a radical pretending to be a moderate? The poor woman was victimized, now these throw backs who could never invent modern internet technology by themselves are using the west’s invention to terrorize its own citizens. This is what has happened to the Swedish and Danish cartoonists, the author of the Satanic Verses, Van Gogh in Holland and Pam Geller in our country. Not only that but they are trying to track down the families of our service men and shooting our police.

The charge of racism is a great way for the governments to beat down their majority into submission. Funny, Islam means submission. The Europeans didn’t have a minority to use as a means of beating up on their citizens so they had to import them and of course the European population had to pay for the intruders welfare.

The muslims are the top men on the totem poll because everyone fears them the most. They don’t really fear women they just manipulate them to get votes.

Yeah, but Geller offended them by wearing a bikini. See, she too is provoking these kind, caring, tolerant folks. Yes, we have gone completely freakin’ bonkers.

A pair of ears was good enough to get the bounty for a wolf or coyote. Now let me think- what would be appropriate for a rapist? Hmmm.

I’m so sick of these hateful, racist savages I could spit. Instead of women making a special point of arming themselves, not going outside, dressing modestly, trying to keep a mob of 30 savages at “arm’s length,” and changing their lives in other ways, how about they just boot the savages out? Admit they made a mistake letting them in. The savages have shown no gratitude, they’ve been nothing but a problem, now they have to go! No apologies. Ignore whatever name-calling results. Just kick them OUT. Why is that option never on the table?

Because the PURPOSE of Liberalism/Progressivism is to wipe out Christianity. Islam is just the latest available weapon.

Given that Germany has no 2nd Amendmemt, no right of self-defense and gun ownership by private citizens is streng verboten, the actual implementation of this program is not so obvious.

But what happens when they try to control or wipe out Islam. Unlike Christians they will not go quietly.
