This from Ayaan Hirsi Ali is interesting
Ayaan Hirsi Ali:* *I don’t know if I would call it disagreement. I would say I have a different perspective obviously because of my background. I grew up a Muslim. I lived in Muslim countries and I come at the problem differently. And around 2003, I was publicizing the abuse of Muslim women by Muslim men in the Netherlands. One anecdote I remember from a well-known Dutch publicist was when he sat me down and he said, “You are trying to draw attention to abuse against Muslim women. Let me tell you about the middle classes in Europe: They’re indifferent.” And I remember asking him if they will be indifferent if European women are abused? And he said, “No, if there’s a blonde girl on national television and she’s been sexually abused by one of these, there’ll be huge outrage. The feminists will not stand for it.”
Unfortunately, fast-forward to around 2013, all the messages I’m getting are about these grooming gangs in Britain—young men chasing women, raping them. I started diving into the subject, and what I discover, unfortunately, is the systematic sexual abuse of white working-class girls and women by men, mostly Muslim. And what the British have come to call grooming gangs—that is, sexual and the systematic sexual abuse of white working-class girls and women by men, mostly Muslim—was dismissed as “they’re slags.” I’ve heard the phrase “white trash” over and over again. And so there’s a class element to this. And the same reasoning that was applied to look away from the abuse of Muslim women was also applied to the abuse against these white girls—not just by men in power, but by feminists, mostly by feminists.
I think it’s very important to get all of these perspectives on the table to get a full picture. I’m coming at this by saying, it’s very important to understand not just why the social workers were silent, why the police were silent, why politicians are silent, but let’s also do the other side. Why is it that these men are committing these crimes in this way? What is wrong with the families and the wider community of these men? Why do they tolerate it against their own women and then against women that they don’t think of as women? And we have to answer that question.
And once you go down that path, then you open the door to the issues of immigration, the failure of integration, the role of Islam in this. And the one key question that Europeans simply don’t want to talk about is: What do we do about it?”
” There are different layers of fear. There is the naked threat of “If you do anything about this issue, we will come and rape you, burn you, kill you.” And these people do act on these threats. I’ve been living with protection for a very long time. I know exactly what I’m talking about. And so the threat from the immigrant Muslim men and their families—whether it is Islamist-driven or tribal-driven or whatever it is—is absolutely key.
There’s another layer of fear which is more sinister, which is that some of the politicians have come to depend on the vote of those immigrants. And so the white working classes numerically are no longer important to them. They don’t serve them. “
