I don’t understand why the author of this article states that explanations for sexual predations by Muslim men may be difficult to understand. Has she read the writer Ayan Hirsi Ali? Has she followed events in Islamic countries or among Islamic communities in the West? Does she know any Muslim women? The Catholic Church, in which I was raised, is profoundly misogynistic.
But compared to Islam today it looks pretty tame. I had close friendships with two highly educated Muslim women when I lived in Paris. Not one of them would return to an Islamic-run country unless dragged there by force, yet they could not under any circumstances bring themselves to criticize Islam in the smallest way, although they spent hours tearing Christianity apart—and doing it with historical references.
Yet their stories of their own lives showed me clearly how female sexuality is viewed by Muslim men—basically as something that these men ‘own’. These beautiful Muslim women—dressed as Parisians, trilingual, with brilliant minds, were as screwed about sex as it is possible to be. One more thing: in all my years in Paris only one group of men ever caused me fear. No matter if I were wearing the most conservative business attire imaginable , Muslim men leered at me, made remarks, threatened me physically.
I could see that in their eyes because I was blonde and white I was nothing and they felt they could treat me complete disrespect. At the same time, they were obsessed with Western women and sex. The twisted mores of their culture make that inevitable. I believe that these attitudes, based on a hatred and contempt for women are gaining ground in Islamic communities everywhere in the world—and that includes the West.
A few Muslim female writers have pointed this out, but no-ones seems to listen, or to understand the implications. Not until new stats on female genital mutilation, forced marriages and murders come out, or a story like the Rotherham horror breaks. Then there a fluster of interest. But nothing changes.
