Think my post yesterday about Norway's problems with sexual assault by Muslims and justifications by the Left was some kind of unusual case? Let's move on to France, courtesy of the Weekly Standard article "Allah Mode":

"The most alarming stories in Pech's investigation concerned tournantes, or gang-bangs. Girls who, for whatever reason, lack a father or brother to defend them get loaned out by their boyfriends to fellow gang members. In the United States, when the taboo against racism faces the taboo against sexism, the taboo against sexism prevails--i.e., people take the girls' side. Not so in France. Daniel Welzer-Lang, a sociologist whose latest book studies manliness and machismo in the ghetto, told Pech that virilisme is a strategy of collective defense, "in response to the fear of unemployment, of racism, of lawlessness, to the suffering of not being able to show other aspects of manliness."

One more time, all together now: it's always the West's fault, and Third Word peoples can never be morally wrong. Here's the real bottom line on the "multicultural" ethic, from the same article:

"Let's not laugh at France for this -- it is merely the country where a problem belonging to the West in general has become most clearly visible. It is in France that, under the pressure of Islam, the secular state is most in danger of being exposed as contentless, and therefore not worth fighting for -- and where fears should be arising that, if secularism cannot be fought for as religions are fought for, it will not last long."

I should note that this link came via an email from Fred Lapides, who is certainly not winning points with any fundamentalist crowds. I'm sure his chosen format of combining politics and photography is very effective. As for the women featured there... let's just say that I wouldn't expect any of them to qualify for greeting jihadi martyrs in Paradise.
