France Takes on Plague of Sexual 'Rite' {Muslim gang-rape of teen-age girls!)
The International Herald Tribune ^ | October 23, 2003 | Elaine Sciolino [The New York Times]

Vigneux sur Seine, France – The boys were patient, standing in line and waiting their turn to rape.

Their two victims, girls of 13, were patient as well, never crying out, at least that is what the neighbors said, and enduring the violence and abuse not once, but repeatedly over five months.

That was three years ago. Late last month, 10 young men, now ranging in age from 18 to 21, were convicted of rape in a closed courtroom in nearby Evry and sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to five years. Seven others will go on trial in November. The fact that they are being brought to justice at all is highly unusual.

The phenomenon of gang rape in France has become banal. It occurs — how often is unknown — in the concrete wastelands built as cheap housing for immigrants on the outskirts of France's big cities. Here, according to sociologists and prosecutors, teenage boys, many of them loosely organized into gangs, prey on neighborhood girls.

Many of the boys are raised in closed, traditional families and are hopelessly confused or ignorant about sex; others are simply street toughs. In this world, women enjoy little respect; often girls who appear weak, or who wear tight-fitting clothing or go out unaccompanied by their fathers or brothers are considered fair game.

To avoid trouble, many girls of the projects have taken to wearing loose-fitting jogging clothes and hidden themselves behind domineering fathers or brothers; others have organized themselves into their own gangs. Many of the Muslim girls have donned head scarves — more for protection than out of religious conviction.

In the basement of 4 Place Albert Einstein, in this working-class suburb where the rapes took place, a graffiti message scrawled across a white wall explains why so few cases are prosecuted. "The law of silence is our sixth sense," it reads. "I've heard too many of these stories, and it's become unbearable," said Samira Bellil, 30, a gang-rape victim, whose book, "In Gang-Rape Hell," was a bestseller in France last year. "The word of the boys is often believed. So the trauma is not just the violence but the torment that comes if a girl comes forward and breaks the silence. We have to stop taking sides with the wolves."

Bellil was gang-raped at age 14. She had fallen in love and agreed to have sex with her boyfriend. Three of his friends were waiting outside. They kicked and beat her and gang-raped her throughout the night. She waited before reporting the rapes, and did so only after three of her friends told her that they, too, had been raped by one of her attackers.

The appearance of Bellil's book last year coincided with the death of a 17-year-old girl named Sohane, who was burned alive by an angry boyfriend in the suburb of Vitry-sur-Seine. A book about the murder, which trained the spotlight on violent crime against young women in the suburbs, is still on the best-seller list. In the case of the two girls in the recent court case, the penetration was oral or anal; vaginal sex would have stolen the girls' virginity, which apparently was not the goal of the attackers.

More socialist tripe. The imms are fortunate to have free/cheap housing. God forbid they had to pay like evrtyone else.

Rape is not a function of housing or poverty.

I don't doubt it but where in the story does it mention the religion of the raping boys?

I have a Scandanavian friend who sends me news from Scandanavia about the Muslim rapists there. The French Muslims seem to be raping their own. In Scandanavia, they are raping the natives because, since they aren't Muslim, they don't have to be respected.

Chirac blocked the EU from condemning the 'jews run the world' comments

why would he dare offend his voters by telling them not to gangrape young girls?

You need an Italian Jewish grandfather to teach your girls how to cuss in High Hebrew (Aramaic) - OR - get a former US Womens Marine Corps Training Sargeant to teach them self-defense...

Some cultures need to be eradicated.

Cortez knew this ... So did Charles Martel ... and el Cid.

Yopu may recall that several years ago there was a Muslim gang in Australia using the same rationale for raping Australian girls.

I didn't see that it said all of them were. Many of the Muslim girls... they are the victims. Why should we assume the perps are also muslim?

Dont get me wrong... Islam is at its core, evil, IMO.
