Assaults in Cologne and other European cities part VI

[HelpTheAnimalsFirst]

Thread 6.

anoonoo - very good article. Thanks for posting

Allison ( from Telegraph) has replied asking if there is anything else she can do...

Good for her! Yy to all out's suggestions.

anonoo I don't know where to start with that article ...I think this sums it up
In Germany, feminist icon Alice Schwarzer has been one of the most vocal critics of Islam, claiming that as both a religion and culture it is responsible for the oppression of women; over the years, Schwarzer has been joined by a wide array of political actors, including social democrat Thilo Sarrzin. This idea has become so widespread that according to a survey conducted by the polling agency Allensbach in 2012, 83 percent of Germans associate the word “Islam” with “oppression of women”.

So the idea of Islam and the oppression of women being connected is due to the words of a Western feminist and some political actors - right ok - that makes complete sense.

I'm so glad that article has set me on the right path - and there was me thinking that any rise of attitudes and ideas like that would be most likely caused by what has happened to the women under the Taliban and Daesh ...silly me...eh?

Is the petition ready yet?

I'm worries it's getting too late, this will soon be old news.

DD said that today too. I have her ready to share the petition to all the young women she knows and ask them to sign and circulate too but she said today that to remember that her generation have very short attention spans and they'll have forgotten about this story if we don't move soon

On New Year’s Eve, women across the EU were subjected to mass sex assaults. UK women must be free to travel, work and live without intimidation or sexual violence. We ask the Government to debate and enforce measures to promote and uphold women's rights irrespective of cultural attitudes

This one is good and is not provocative in that it sticks to the facts. If someone doesn't like the wording, they don't have to sign. I say we go for it. Anna, others- are you still up for it?

I haven't heard any more from the volunteer.

This is so depressing - so close and no volunteer...surely someone can do it?

Perhaps MN headquarters might consider starting it ?

Evening folks. Pleased to see this thread back on track now. Thank you to you all for posting by the rules this afternoon. Polentapies we don't have any PM from you. Would you mind contacting us via the reports system? Just hit report on your post above and put your PM in the report. That's the best way to get hold of us usually.

Have read latest version of petition. Instead of E U authorities can we say response of governments or something like that?

Great article anonoo

I like four mummy's final version now. We only need a volunteer! We had two earlier- have they both pulled out?

It is becoming apparent that new years eve was just the tip of the iceberg.

There are now many reports like the one above coming out, similar attacks have been happening for a while and the authorities are happy to put their female citizens at risk in the name of political correctness. This is not going to be forgotten because it's not going away.

This article focuses on the consequences of denial.

Someone has Pm'd me - not a name I recognise from this thread -telling me not to give up hope (cautious) .
Apparently the petition is all ready and just awaiting confirmation by the people who did supply email....they should have received emails and just need to reply - anyone here?

(unless that was a hoax pm or something...but seemed genuine.)

TtUnlucky83, it does make sense. Some people have become used to associating Muslims with hard-line barbaric regimes, even though those regimes don't represent Islam. Politicians and press blur the line between Muslim and barbaric regime sometimes for their own ends. President Zeman of the Czech Republic gave a speech about Muslims saying that they will stone women to death and rape women. This distortion of the truth sadly does have some bearing on what people think, especially when many have never met a Muslim.

What do you think of WidowWadman's experience of living in Germany? She said that groping and harassment in public has been common for many years. It seems the police are not inactive because of political correctness, they just don't care for women's rights very much.

The Petition has been lodged

The 5 volunteers who agreed to support the petition need to access the email they gave and click the link on the email to confirm support. This will activate the petition

I will post link when it is active

At last!

Brilliant!

We'll done everyone, well done!!!!

Well

Been compiling a mental list of everyone I want to send to. Let's hope it reaches a swift momentum.

Excellent, well done to all those who have been working away on this. Have some well deserved .

So pleased it's been lodged!

Great news, thanks all for your hard work

When its live I will send link to Allison.
