“All White Women are Sluts and Deserve to be Raped”: The West Adopts Islam’s Perspective?
American Thinker Russian European women are to blame for being raped by Muslim men.

How Saudi ‘Donations’ to American Universities Whitewash Islam
Gatestone Institute Why would the center of illiberalism, religious fanaticism, and misogyny ever sponsor the center of liberalism, secularism, and gender equality?
