Sweden and Norway are blind. They are well on their way to being conquered.




The Rape of the Sabine Women is a mythological event from just after the founding of Rome. The young city of Rome had granted citizenship to criminals and lawless persons to grow quickly, and was therefore winning the wars againgst its neighbours, but a lack of women made it clear that the greatness of the city would vane in a generation or two due to lack of male offspring.

The neighbouring town scorned at Roman requests to marry their women, but accepted an invitation to a huge religious celebration in honour of Neptun. In the middle of the party, the Romans rushed in and abducted the Sabine women, who were the forced to marry their rapists.

The Sabines were horrified at this open breach of the rules of hospitality, and went home to prepare for war. When they later returned in arms to take back their women by force, the Sabine women had reconciled with their now husbands, and stopped the commencing battle before it started by placing themselves inbetween the two battleready groups.

The Romans and the Sabines were reconciled and the city of Rome could continue on the path to greatness.

The Rape of the Sabine was the original primary definition of rape, to carry away a woman by force. Kidnap for marriage.

The muzzies are perpetrating the post deconstruction definition, carnal knowledge of a woman without consent.

The Romans were interested in gaining wives, which is why it was possible to make peace.

The muzzies are just pillaging and raping their newly conquered territory of Euroweenia.

That wouldn't work with Muslim males, who would feel compelled to slaughter all the women first as "honor killings" and then the battle with the Romans could commence. Good thing the story takes place so long before the birth of Islam or else it would have a very different ending!
