Are Western women responsible for provoking Muslim men into raping them? Some Europeans certainly seem to think so.
Recently, after a 20-year-old Austrian woman waiting at a bus stop in Vienna was attacked, beat, and robbed by four Muslim men from Afghanistan—including one who “started [by] putting his hands through my hair and made it clear that in his cultural background there were hardly any blonde women”—police responded by telling the victim to dye her hair:
At first I was scared, but now I’m more angry than anything. After the attack they told me that women shouldn’t be alone on the streets after 8pm. And they also gave me other advice, telling me I should dye my hair dark and also not dress in such a provocative way. Indirectly that means I was partly to blame for what happened to me. That is a massive insult.
She is not the first victim to be blamed. According to FrontPage Magazine editor Jamie Glazov:
Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker’s response to the assaults under her watch [when 1,ooo German women were sexually molested and raped by Muslim migrants] has been to reprimand the victims, suggesting that they had asked for it. She has vowed to make sure that women will change their behavior, so that they don’t provoke Muslims to sexually assault them again. There will now be published “online guidelines” for women to read so they can prepare themselves…. Oslo Professor of Anthropology Dr. Unni Wikan’s solution for the high incidence of Muslims raping Norwegian women is not for the rapists to be punished, but for Norwegian women to “take their share of responsibility” for the rapes because Muslim men found their manner of dress provocative. Norwegian women, she has counseled, “must realize that we live in a Multicultural society and adapt themselves to it.”
These responses overlook the fact that, from the very start of Islam 14 centuries ago, European women—even chaste nuns—have always been portrayed as sexually promiscuous by nature.
This is easily discerned by examining medieval Muslim perceptions of Byzantine women. (Islam’s initial contact with Europe in the seventh century was through the Christian empire of Byzantium; it came to represent European women in Islam). Consider the following excerpts from Byzantium Viewed by the Arabs, by Nadia Maria el-Cheikh:
One quality that the Arab Muslims inevitably assigned to the Byzantines was beauty…. This characteristic, beauty, is associated with Byzantine women in particular. Byzantine women are described as being white-complexioned blondes, with straight hair and blue eyes.
This view traces back to Muhammad. The prophet once asked a new convert “Would you like the girls of Banu al-Asfar?”—the “yellow haired people”—to entice him to join the jihad on Byzantium and reap its rewards, which, in this case, included the possibility of capturing blonde women. “O Abu Wahb,” Muhammad cajoled another, “would you not like to have scores of Byzantine [fair] women and men as concubines and servants?” Wahb responded: “O Messenger of Allah… if I see the women of the Byzantines, I fear I will not be able to hold back. So do not tempt me by them…”[1]
Nor was this predilection limited to Arabs. In regards to the Turks, Bernard Lewis writes in Islam and the West, “Europeans saw themselves primarily as Christians threatened by a new assault from the old Islamic enemy…. Among the faults and vices ascribed to the Turk, two themes dominated: arbitrary power and unbridled lust. So universal were these themes and so striking the terms in which they were presented, in both letters and arts…”
Unfortunately for European women, they also came to exemplify Islam’s femme fatale. Continues the author of Byzantium Viewed by the Arabs:
In our [Muslim] texts, Byzantine women are strongly associated with sexual immorality… Our sources show not Byzantine women but [Muslim] writers’ images of these women, who served as symbols of the eternal female—constantly a potential threat, particularly due to blatant exaggerations of their sexual promiscuity….
Then there’s Muhammad’s assertion that there is no “fitna more harmful to men than women.” El-Cheikh explains:
Fitna, meaning disorder and chaos, refers also to the beautiful femme fatale who makes men lose their self-control. Fitna is a key concept in defining the dangers that women, more particularly their bodies, were capable of provoking in the mental universe of the Arab Muslims….
Cheikh documents how Muslims claimed that Byzantine (or “white”) females were the “most shameless women in the whole world”; that, “because they find sex more enjoyable, they are prone to adultery”; that “adultery is commonplace in the cities and markets of Byzantium”—so much so that “the nuns from the convents went out to the fortresses to offer themselves to monks.”
Concludes the author of Byzantium Viewed by the Arabs:
While the one quality that our [Muslim] sources never deny is the beauty of Byzantine women, the image that they create in describing these women is anything but beautiful. Their depictions are, occasionally, excessive, virtually caricatures, overwhelmingly negative…. Such anecdotes [of sexual promiscuity] are clearly far from Byzantine reality and must be recognized for what they are: attempts to denigrate and defame a rival culture through their exaggeration of the laxity with which Byzantine culture dealt with its women…. In fact, in Byzantium, women were expected to be retiring, shy, modest, and devoted to their families and religious observances…. [T]he behavior of most women in Byzantium was a far cry from the depictions that appear in Arabic sources.”
Little has changed some 1400 years after the founding of Islam: European women continue to be seen as naturally promiscuous and thus provoking Muslim men into raping them.
Thus last December in the UK, a Muslim father-of-four “dragged a young pub worker off the street and raped her for three hours, while telling her ‘you white women are good at it.’” Another Muslim called a 13-year-old British virgin “a little white slag”—British slang for “loose, promiscuous woman”—before raping her.
After the endemic sexual abuse of native British women at the hands of Muslims was revealed, a Muslim imam in the UK confessed that Muslim men are taught that women are “second-class citizens, little more than chattels or possessions over whom they have absolute authority” and that the imams preach a doctrine “that denigrates all women, but treats [non-Muslim] whites with particular contempt.”
This mentality is hardly limited to Britain. A Muslim man who almost killed his 25-year-old German victim while raping her—to shouts of “Allah!”—asked if she enjoyed it afterwards. Another Muslim migrant said that “German girls are just there for sex.” In Austria, an “Arabic-looking man” approached a 27-year-old woman at a bus stop, pulled down his pants, and “all he could say was sex, sex, sex,” until the woman screamed and he fled.
In short, the ancient Islamic motif concerning the alleged promiscuity of European women is alive and well, and continues justifying the Muslim rape of Western women.
Yet, even in this, Islam can turn to its Leftist ally for cover. For, just as the Left has worked long and hard to portray Islamic intolerance, violence, and terrorism as the West’s fault—because of the crusades, because of colonialism, because of cartoons, because of Israel, because of freedom of speech—it now adds “because of Western promiscuity” to the list of reasons that provoke Muslims to acts of violence and worse.

So when are American and European citizens going to wake up and take their communities back from these islamic dogs? The more these incidents are documented, the more American men like me are ready to go out there and do something about it. These are our wives, daughters and sisters these savages are raping and murdering, often by very gruesome means. When will we say we’ve had enough???
seems like the inbred moslem(s) who attack deserve some of my police grade pepper spray. I wonder what the useful idiots will say to that. (probably tell me that the widdle moswems got their feewings hurt and it is my fault too)
That would only make an opportunity for me to educate some judges and lawyers because I will demand that they be shown what sharia laws provoke these muzzrats to attack – they invade and are at war with us.
Thank you for documenting and analyzing this violent Muslin disdain of non-Muslim women. Let us hope this message will reach many others, including leadership, to prompt them to put a stop to Muslim immigration to their nations. At some point, the Western nations will rise up, as before, to beat back the Muslim horde. Wartime necessitates and justifies extreme measures — in this case, expulsion of dangerous Muslims if not removal of all Muslim immigrants to their home countries. Remedies exist if only leadership will activate them in the interests of public safety.
The western women are definitely to blame for their own rapes, at least here in Norway, they are the ones that are advocating the multi-culti society loudest.
If the girl had brown, or black hair …she would have still been attacked. These so called ‘muslim immigrants’ are animals.
The liberals would tell her to get colored contacts
Another very informative article Raymond. Keep them coming.

Fucking sick. Muslim men are so disgusting I almost throw up just reading about them. If I meet one I will most likely die of disgust. They need to be thrown out of Europe. All of them.
How could it be otherwise when their lascivious false prophet was a sex maniac and pressured his son in law to divorce his wife so that he could have her in his harem? Whenever he wanted to give into his lust, he conveniently had a “revelation” from Allah to justify it. After all, he is considered “the perfect model of human behviour!ª. Besides, they are also incapable of considering themselves responsible for their own acts. They have to blame someone else. They rape a woman and blame her.
I think the photograph says it all.
LOL…all of you whinig will vote for HRC…and it will just get worse..the pos Hillary has supported muslims for years, has been connected with them for years , has been paid millions by them for years…and YOU will vote for her……
Unni Wikan quote primary source: “I do not blame the rapes on Norwegian women. But Norwegian women must realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves accordingly.” translated from “Jeg vil ikke legge skylden for voldtektene på de norske kvinnene. Men norske kvinner må innse at vi lever i et flerkulturelt samfunn, og innrette seg deretter.” http://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/2001/09/06/279676.html
If Western countries are not going to throw this scum out the courts must make them realize that this behaviour will be severely punished. Rape carries a maximum of life imprisonment. That is the sort of sentence that will stop these animals from raping women. It won’t happen ;the West is weak and stupid.
Still goes on in Istanbul. All the Turkish men eyeing the tourists up and down and getting unprofessional in shops, restaurants etc. No Turkish women anywhere in sight after 7 pm…
Funny, I JUST spent four days in Istanbul, walked around at all hours . . . did not hear ONE catcall or inappropriate remark. All of my conversations with Turkish men–in shops, restaurants, museums, at my hotel–were completely professional and respectful. I felt much safer there than I do in the US.
Clearly, you are not the type that they like…or you are a Turkish man yourself that’s come here to improve the image of your country…
If Islam is so much better and safer I wonder why you don’t leave the U.S?
This is one of the most irresponsible things I have ever read: you lead with “ONE THIOUSAND women attacked AND RAPED”–but your own link to “document” this claim ACTUALLY says that there were SIXTY-SIX allegations of ASSAULT (not rape) in Cologne on New Year’s Eve. Violence against women is endemic to ALL patriarchial societies–Christian, Muslim, Hindu, secular–so if you REALLY care about women, let’s talk about patriarchy. Absolutely ridiculous.
What a bunch of third-world, tropical/desert pigs.
May I add to your reference to the mass rape in the UK. The victims were little more than children, not adult women;1400 victims in the northern town of Rotherham over a decade and many of the perps still not brought to justice. Rape and exploitation of young girls barely in their teens has come to light in many other cities and towns. The common denominator has been the reluctance of social services and police to intervene for fear of disrupting ‘community cohesion’. Many of these young girls had troubled backgrounds and were often groomed by one man who became the boyfriend who loved them. Once caught, the girls were pimped out and even transported to various other parts of the country to be raped by ‘family’ men, including those in their 60s.
jihad. get some motherfucker
There will soon be no other option than to terminate brownskins, they are riddling the planet with hatred from their backwards ways. Whilst there are very many good brown skinned people we will not be able to afford to discriminate between the good and evil. It will be done when the law falls and all hell breaks loose and it is imminent, not probable.
It shows too that from their earliest encounters with their fair Byzantium ‘other’ the Muslims and Seljuks seem to have developed a powerful ‘brown’ inferiority complex which they have ever since striven to conceal behind the facade of their supposedly superior religion and culture. We’ve seen the same thing happened to the ‘blacks’ at a later stage of history.
,Why do they label as racist and islamophobic any attempt to tell the truth. And why do the press, leftist-liberals and public officials always scramble to defend criminals if they are foreign, dark-skinned or Muslim? Do they not care about their own citizens and the women that are attacked, molested or raped. Why do they defend or cover-up immigrant Muslim crime, are they terrified of offending Muslims, of seeming unjust or are they afraid that the Muslims will react and retaliate with more crime, more violence and more terror? The Muslim immigrants are going to continue to destroy the lives of our innocent citizens until they are locked up and or deported.
Wow so the European culture that just shifted the blame onto the victim
doesn’t have anything to do with it at all? Didn’t you just point out
that all cultures are equally as bad, and think women don’t deserve to
be defended against rape? It was the Vienna police who told the victim
it was “her fault”… and that is not something limited to Muslim
attacks on women.
