NYC Police Ignore Muslim Brotherhood Assault on the Streets of New York

New York City residents were treated to a glimpse of their (and our!) future recently when Egyptian journalists in town to cover the visit of Egyptian president Al-Sisi to the U.N. were assaulted by Muslim Brotherhood agents -- in full view of New York City police.

The journalists were assaulted verbally and physically while New York’s finest looked on, deigning to intervene in much the same way a schoolteacher does with a recalcitrant student – tut-tutting and tsk-tsking – rather than apprehending and jailing the violent assaulters as one would expect on the streets of an American city.

In the end, after clearly committing crimes of personal violence, the attackers were sent on their way. Not arrested. Not detained. Simply allowed to wander off, their intimidation attack successful and unchallenged.

One cannot imagine a similar response to similar circumstances involving gay men and bigoted attackers, or Muslim men attacked by Hindus. Indeed, our nation’s news feeds are rife with examples of investigation and punishments meted out to miscreants who targeted a “protected” group.

A primary tool of Islamic intimidation is the exploitation of the risk-averse nature of civilized Western democracies. Threaten to riot, and watch the spineless politicians quail in revulsion from the prospect of confrontation.

This is the model by which Islamic enclaves have gained supremacy over entire swaths of major European cities, creating functional "no-go" areas where even the police will not enter for fear of sparking a violent reaction from the Muslim residents. This results in what you might expect – the utter abandonment of native citizens who live in the area or happen to wander into the neighborhood by mistake.
