‘White Whores’: Islam’s Unwavering View on Western Women

A young woman targeted by what the obscurantist media label an "Asian" Rape Gang told her story after years of being trapped as a young teen after being groomed by Muslim men in the UK. The British woman going by the pseudonym “Kate Elysia” recently revealed
the extent of her sexual victimization by Muslim men. While this
included the numerous details seen in many similar cases -- including drugs, and gang-rapes by as many as 70
men in one night -- her story had an interesting twist to it.
According
to the report: “At one point during her abuse, she was trafficked to
the North African country of Morocco where she was prostituted and
repeatedly raped.” There she was kept in an apartment in Marrakesh,
where another girl no more than 15 was also kept for sexual purposes. “I
can’t remember how many times I’m raped that first night, or by who,”
Kate recounted.
That she
was seen as a piece of meat is evident in other ways: “The Pakistani men
I came into contact with made me believe I was nothing more than a
slut, a white whore. They treated me like a leper, apart from when they
wanted sex. I was less than human to them, I was rubbish.”
What explains the ongoing victimization of European women by Muslim men -- which exists well beyond the UK, and has become epidemic in Germany, Sweden, and elsewhere?
While
these sordid accounts are routinely dismissed as the activities of
“criminals,” they are in fact reflective of nearly fourteen centuries of
Muslim views on and treatment of European women. Nothing in Kate’s
account -- not even the otherwise extreme aspect of taking her to
Morocco to be a sex slave -- has not happened countless times over the
centuries.
For starters, Muslim men have long had an obsessive attraction for fair women
of the European variety. This, as all things Islamic, traces back to
their prophet, Muhammad. In order to entice his men to war against the
Byzantines -- who, as the Arabs’ nearest European neighbors came to
represent “white” people -- Muhammad told them they would be able to
sexually enslave the “yellow” women (an apparent reference to their hair
color).
For
over a millennium after Muhammad, jihadi leaders -- Arabs, Berbers,
Turks, Tatars -- also coaxed their men to jihad on Europe by citing (and
later sexually enslaving) its fair women, as copiously documented in Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West.
For one example, prior to invading Spain, jihadi hero Tarek bin Ziyad
enticed his men by saying: “You must have heard numerous accounts of
this island, you must know how the Grecian maidens, as beautiful as houris [sexual superwomen are awaiting your arrival, reclining on soft couches in the sumptuous palaces of crowned lords and princes.”
That
the sexual enslavement of fair women was an aspect that always fueled
the jihad is evident in other ways. Thus, for M.A. Khan, a former Muslim
author, it is “impossible to disconnect Islam from the Viking
slave-trade, because the supply was absolutely meant for meeting [the]
Islamic world’s unceasing demand for the prized white slaves” and for
“white sex-slaves.”
And
just as Muslim rapists saw Kate as “nothing more than a slut, a white
whore,” so did Muslim luminaries always describe the nearest white women
of Byzantium. For Abu Uthman al-Jahiz (b. 776), a prolific court
scholar, the females of Constantinople were the “most shameless women in
the whole world ... [T]hey find sex more enjoyable” and “are prone to
adultery.” Abd al-Jabbar (b. 935), another prominent scholar, claimed
that “adultery is commonplace in the cities and markets of Byzantium,”
so much so that even “the nuns from the convents went out to the
fortresses to offer themselves to monks.”
As Nadia Maria el-Cheikh, author of Byzantium Viewed by the Arabs, explains:
Our [Arab/Muslim] sources show not Byzantine women but writers’ images of these women, who served as symbols of the eternal female -- constantly a potential threat, particularly due to blatant exaggerations of their sexual promiscuity. In our texts, Byzantine women are strongly associated with sexual immorality. … While the one quality that our [Muslim] sources never deny is the beauty of Byzantine women, the image that they create in describing these women is anything but beautiful.
Their depictions are, occasionally, excessive, virtually caricatures, overwhelmingly negative … The behavior of most women in Byzantium was a far cry from the depictions that appear in Arabic sources.
But even
taking Kate to Morocco and turning her into a sex slave is a mirror
reflection of history.
Thanks to Ottoman support for the slave-raiding
pirates of North Africa, the so-called “Barbary States,” by 1541
“Algiers teemed with Christian captives [from Europe], and it became a
common saying that a Christian slave was scarce a fair barter for an
onion.”
According to the
conservative estimate of American professor Robert Davis: “[B]etween
1530 and 1780 [alone] there were almost certainly a million and quite
possibly as many as a million and a quarter white, European Christians
enslaved by the Muslims of the Barbary Coast,” of which Morocco was one.
Women slaves -- and not a few men and boys -- were almost always
sexually abused. With countless European women selling for the price of
an onion, little wonder by the late 1700s, European observers noted how
“the inhabitants of Algiers have a rather white complexion.”
It
was the same elsewhere. The slave markets of the Ottoman sultanate were
for centuries so inundated with European flesh that children sold for
pennies, “a very beautiful slave woman was exchanged for a pair of
boots, and four Serbian slaves were traded for a horse.” In Crimea --
where some three million Slavs were enslaved by the Ottomans’ Muslim
allies, the Tatars -- an eyewitness described how Christian men were
castrated and savagely tortured (including by gouging their eyes out),
whereas “[t]he youngest women are kept for wanton pleasures.”
Such
a long and unwavering history of sexually enslaving European women on
the claim that, like Kate Elysia, they are all “nothing more than a
slut, a white whore,” should place the ongoing sexual abuse of Western
women in context -- and suggest that there’s little chance of change
along the horizon.
