. . . "Some media, including feminist media, refused to name the perpetrators as being of Arab or North African descent or as “Muslims.” They do not wish to be demonized as “racists” or “Islamophobes” but there is also a legitimate feminist reason.

"European men rape European women every single day. Gang-rape often characterize rapes perpetrated by young men in the West. But make no mistake: the pattern of sexual harassment and rape in the Muslim world in general is vastly different. Muslims in Sudan and Nigeria have perpetrated similar horrific attacks upon Christian, animist, and Muslim women. Similar atrocities took place in the former Yugoslavia, perpetrated by both Serb and Croat Christians and Muslims. Nevertheless, in an Islamist era, such Muslim-perpetrated attacks have assumed monstrous proportions.
"Recall the roving gangs in Egypt in Tahrir Square in 2011, the mass groping and the assault of blonde American journalist Lara Logan. Realize that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Egyptian Muslim and Christian women were also groped and sexually assaulted, whether or not they were wearing headscarves or face masks." . . .
