1 - Today marks the fifth anniversary of the mass sexual attacks in Cologne.

Around 1000 Muslim men, most of whom had only arrived in Germany a few months before, claiming to be refugees, subjected 100s of German women celebrating New Years Eve to savage racial + sexual assault

2 - Working in groups, the men systematically encircled and separated their prey – the white, Christian women that their religion and culture deem racially and religiously inferior – from their friends.

3 - Once isolated, they tore at their clothes and groped them.

They stuck their fingers up their vaginas and anuses, and inside their bras.

They shot fireworks at them.

They robbed them.

Some were raped.
4 - It took days for the attacks to come to public attention as the authorities and media scrambled to downplay or lie about them.

The truth came out on social media + when the scale could no longer be denied, they tried very hard to pretend that it was nothing to do with Islam
5 - Some of the most revolting excuses came from feminists – those ‘wh*res for Islam’ that @patcondell so aptly describes - insisting it was all about ‘toxic masculinity’ and ‘patriarchy’ and all the other meaningless mantras they use.

6 - The worst media excuse I’ve found came from the Guardian which twisted the narrative onto “xenophobes’ and ‘racists’ and, even more deceitfully, shoehorned Farage and Brexit into the mix.

7 - The racists were the men who premeditated their attacks on the white women.
8 - To understand how obscene these reactions are, consider what would have happened if the races and religions had been reversed?

If 1000s of white, Christian men had walked into a Muslim country and racially and sexually assaulted 100s of Muslim girls celebrating Ramadan?
11 - The kindest I’m prepared to be is that the attacks where so extreme, so brazen, so utterly foreign to the way European men behave that the police and media simply couldn’t understand what they were dealing with.
12 - I was not remotely surprised.

Only shocked by the scale and audacity of the attacks
13 - I’d watched with growing alarm a few months earlier, in the summer of 2015, as hundreds of thousands of Muslim men – both economic migrants and those who had chosen to leave the safety of the refugee camps the UN had established for them - forced their way into Europe.
14 - I knew it would be a disaster for European women, especially the blonde ones that the men retain the most visceral entitlement and racist contempt for.

But then I’ve lived in Muslim countries and knew what was coming.
15 - The worst was when my sisters and I were moved to Turkey as teenagers because of my father’s job with the UN Refugee Agency.

1We were subjected to unremitting sexual + racist harassment, and sometimes assault, every time we left the house, because we were female and blonde
16 - Leered at.

Jeered at.

Hissed at.

Spat at.

Groped.

Mocked.

Insulted.

Hit.

Flashed at.

Masturbated at.

Sperm thrown on us.

My first observations in the main thread are here, but this offshoot is needed because there's been so many wise & witty things I've


2/ First, re: those who in their wayward moral obtuseness feel we "can't speak ill of the dead." I've said that this is what abuse enablers say, but I hear that some religious traditions preach this. Oy.

4/ There's definitely a Jewish Tradition angle for how to treat evil people who die: the only respect is to justice, right & wrong, and above all compassion's existence necessitates condemning cruelty


5/ We're coming up on #Purim, and that's all about how to remember evil. There may be a reason, then, that I share the attitude of many other people committed to righting
