Australian "Feminists" Protest Long Sentences Handed Out to Rapists!

In Sydney Australia, two men, Pakistan-born Muslims, were found guilty of gang rapes of two teenage girls. This comes as strict justice for a growing problem in this region. Muslim men have been roaming Sydney in gangs, raping non-Muslim women, calling them "Aussie pigs" and "sluts" who ask for it. If previous jail sentences are any indication of their punishment, a 55 yr long jail term is in their future as was given to Balil Skaf.
Balil Skaf, lest we forget, led a rape gang including his own brother, and defended his actions in court by saying that his victims failed to dress in Muslim female garb and hence "asked for it." These two scumbags evidently followed a similar philosophy.
But feminist reaction was not praise; it was hostility. Those in the audience at the conference that announced the news cried the convictions were “nothing but racist prosecutions.” They were outraged over the “racism” of the strict punishments given to the Muslims rapists.
The surrealism of this reaction is plain: more lenient punishments would, of course, make future rapes more likely!
Hysterics from the likes of the Anti-Discrimination Board seem to be working: cops are now afraid to stand up to Muslim criminals. This includes an incident when cops found three Muslims with stolen property. They called for backup - and so did the three Muslims. After the stand off, the final response of the cops was to order the officers to retreat.
This is seriously bad -- it means that the police were forced to let criminals escape with stolen property because they feared confronting the friends of the criminals. Incidents like this, if not corrected, generally precede the breakdown of civil order in a neighborhood. I lived in New York City under David Dinkins, and know whereof I speak.
This is not an isolated case of this happening either. During the OJ Simpson trial, the National Organization for Women, the largest, most visible feminist organization in America, defended OJ Simpson not Nicole Brown Simpson, i.e. the black, male murderer not the white female victim. It should be relatively common knowledge now that feminists do not care about female victims of rape or sexual/domestic violence.
Not only is it about identity politics, it's not even about identity politics in FAVOR of women!
Feminists utterly fail at solving these issues. You know who is effective at solving these evils? Conservatives, especially conservative men.
Every conservative man I know who hears of these gangs raping women vow they would take the situation into their own hands if the law didn’t bring justice to the rape victims.
Yep. And this would be very likely to happen in Australia if the police and courts backed down -- eventually, non-Muslims would form militias which would attack Muslims. When a society fails to enforce the law on one side, it will find that the other side will also resort to private violence.
By the way, I might ask the women among my readers -- if someone tried to rape you, would you rather have people violently stop your rapist, or protest the rape with a candlelight "Take Back the Night" march after the fact?
Despite feminist activism for several years about the oppression of women in the Middle East - under the likes of the Taliben and Sadddam Hussein - they were utterly impotent in their ability to help Middle Eastern women. It was conservatives, the Bush administration, with quick, effective military action that liberated these people, including women, from these oppressive regimes.
Indeed. And, lest someone argue that Saddam Hussein's regime was "progressive" in its treatment of women, remember that raping the relatives of dissidents in front of the dissidents was a routine form of torture in his prisons.
Sorry, but Muslims can be held to the same moral standard as every other human being, and they can learn how to follow the law. If feminists really cared about women in the Middle East, they would strike at the root of the problem: Islam. Despite what Shirin Ebadi says, the problem for women in the Middle East is not “the patriarchy,” it is Islam. Muslims are literally given a free pass to do whatever they want - including raping women, looting restaurants in France that sell food not approve by the Koran, etc. Unless moral people start speaking up - not cowering in fear, worried about being called a “racist” - this and other issues like it (not the least of which is terrorism) literally will mean the death of us.
Quite right. There is no appeasing people who hold that they have the right to enforce their religion upon us in defiance of our laws. They will take every concession we give and insist on more, until we grow spines and tell them where to stuff their silly demands.
