Allah's Willing Executioners

Andrea Pirlo, one of the greatest midfielders of his generation and a key figure in Italy’s 2006 World Cup-winning side, has pulled out of the race to become the next head coach of Italy’s national team after a political controversy over his commercial ties with Russia.

“I learned last night that I am no longer a candidate for the bench of the Italian national team,” he wrote on social media on July 27, a day before the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) was due to confirm him.

Pirlo’s path to the Italy bench was disrupted not by questions over his tactical credentials, but by a trip to Moscow. His appearance in Russia on behalf of one of the country’s largest betting companies triggered a political row, with critics arguing that any commercial association with Russia is incompatible with representing Italy while the war in Ukraine continues.

Pirlo, 47, is widely regarded as one of football’s greatest deep-lying playmakers. During a long playing career, he represented Brescia, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus and New York City FC, winning two UEFA Champions League titles with AC Milan and four consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus. He earned 116 caps for Italy, scored 13 international goals and played a pivotal role in the country’s 2006 World Cup triumph in Germany.

After retiring in 2017, Pirlo moved into coaching. In July 2020, he was appointed head coach of Juventus U23, but just nine days later was promoted to lead the club’s first team following Maurizio Sarri’s dismissal. In his only season in charge, he guided Juventus to the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup before leaving in 2021. He then managed Turkish club Fatih Karagümrük, followed by Sampdoria in Italy’s Serie B. Since 2025, he has been head coach of United FC, also known as Dubai United, in the United Arab Emirates. Although his managerial career has yet to match his achievements as a player, his status within Italian football kept him among the country’s most respected coaching candidates.

Following Italy’s latest football crisis, Pirlo quickly emerged as the leading candidate to take over the national team. Italian media reported that newly appointed FIGC technical director Paolo Maldini identified him as his preferred choice after Pep Guardiola declined the job on July 24. A World Cup winner with strong international credentials, Pirlo was widely considered the federation’s first choice, with his appointment expected to be completed soon.

The controversy centres on Pirlo’s commercial partnership with Fonbet, one of Russia’s largest bookmakers. In October 2025, he became a global ambassador for the company and, in May 2026, travelled to Moscow to participate in its “Football Day” celebrations at Luzhniki Stadium ahead of the Russian Cup final.

During the event, Pirlo appeared alongside fellow 2006 World Cup winner Marco Materazzi. Both were among a group of retired Italian internationals, including Francesco Totti, who took part in Fonbet promotional events in Russia. He took part in autograph sessions, media appearances and promotional activities organised by Fonbet for supporters attending the Russian Cup final.

Pirlo has insisted that his involvement arose from his work in the United Arab Emirates and was “exclusively commercial and sporting” in nature, adding that reading a political meaning into it meant attributing to him beliefs he had never expressed.

The explanation did not satisfy critics. Politicians from across Italy’s political spectrum have questioned whether someone maintaining a commercial partnership with a major Russian company should become the public face of Italy’s national football team. On July 25, European Parliament vice-president Pina Picierno criticised the possibility of Pirlo’s appointment, arguing that someone promoting a Russian betting company while Ukraine remains under attack could not credibly represent Italy’s national team.

Criticism also came from Kyiv. Andriy Shevchenko, president of the Ukrainian Association of Football and Pirlo’s former AC Milan team-mate, said he had spoken directly to several of the Italians involved: “I clearly expressed my opposition and Ukraine’s position.”

The controversy has sent the Italian Football Federation back to the drawing board. The nomination was due to be formalised at the federal council meeting on July 28, and Italian media have reported that Maldini and adviser Leonardo, who backed Pirlo, are now weighing their own positions. Roberto Mancini and Antonio Conte have been named among possible replacements, with the federation needing an answer before Italy return to competitive action in the Nations League in September.

A 29-year-old Afghan migrant has been charged with murder and placed in pretrial detention after allegedly stabbing a 65-year-old Chinese woman to death in an apartment used for prostitution in Béthune, northern France.

The victim’s body was discovered on July 13 in a short-term rental apartment in the city center. An autopsy found that she had suffered multiple stab wounds — around 20, according to La Voix du Nord. Investigators believe she was killed on July 11, two days before her body was found.

The suspect was arrested on July 22.

He confessed during police questioning but has not clearly explained why he carried out the attack, prosecutors said, according to Le Figaro. Initial findings indicate that he had been a client of the victim, who authorities believe may have been engaged in prostitution at the apartment.

The Afghan national was legally residing in France and had been granted subsidiary protection by the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons.

Local authorities reportedly asked the agency to withdraw that protection, arguing that the suspect’s conduct represented a serious threat to public order.

A separate investigation has been opened into alleged aggravated pimping connected to the apartment, which had reportedly been used for prostitution for several years and had previously been linked to violent incidents.

A Chinese man in his forties, suspected of renting the property and profiting from prostitution, has been charged and placed under judicial supervision. Prosecutors had sought his detention and have appealed the judge’s decision to release him under supervision.

A 21-year-old university student, young mother, and pregnant woman has been convicted in Poland for the “crime” of speaking the truth about mass immigration.

On July 16, 2026, the District Court in Zamość found Oliwia Olejniczak guilty of “inciting hatred” and slapped her with a 3,000 PLN fine (roughly $800–$1,000) for remarks she made at a completely legal and peaceful “Stop Immigration” rally on July 19, 2025. She was pregnant with her second child at the time of the verdict.

Her husband, Adam Olejniczak, reached out to The Gateway Pundit with the details of this outrageous free-speech persecution under Donald Tusk’s left-liberal government.

Oliwia, a top physiotherapy student and mother of a one-year-old, took the stage in Zamość, one of roughly a hundred similar demonstrations held across Poland that day, and voiced the fears shared by countless ordinary Poles.

She spoke about the real risks of uncontrolled mass immigration from incompatible cultures: rising crime, violence, and rape already plaguing Western Europe.

Adam Olejniczak wrote to The Gateway Pundit:

“My wife, Oliwia Olejniczak, a 21-year-old university student, young mother, and (at the time of the verdict) pregnant with our second child, was recently convicted and fined ~3,500 PLN (around $1000) simply for speaking out against mass immigration.

On 19 July 2025 she took the stage at a peaceful, legal “Stop Immigration” rally in Zamość — one of roughly a hundred such demonstrations held across Poland that same day. Two days later an investigation was opened. On 16 July 2026 the District Court in Zamość found her guilty of “inciting hatred” and imposed the fine.

Notably, the case was not handled by the local prosecutor’s office in Zamość. Instead it was immediately taken up by the other District Prosecutor’s Office, an office roughly an hour away that is widely known for its ideologically leftist leanings.

They launched proceedings against Oliwia with extraordinary speed. In the Polish justice system such rapid action almost never happens unless the target is someone who has criticized the current left-liberal government.

During her speech she voiced legitimate fears for her own safety and that of our young child. She warned that uncontrolled mass immigration of people from incompatible cultures would bring the same rise in crime, violence and rape already visible in Western Europe.

She said the words “That could have been me, that could have been you,” directly referencing a horrific crime that had occurred only weeks earlier in Toruń: a 24-year-old Polish woman from her home region was brutally murdered by an illegal Venezuelan national who gouged out her eyes so she could not identify him and then killed her.

This fear was not abstract. Not long before the rally, Oliwia had already taken part in protests in our region against the opening of special centers for migrants.

Across Poland, dozens of such facilities were being established where illegal immigrants — many of whom had crossed the eastern border illegally — were to receive assistance and even help legalizing their stay. These centers were part of a broader policy that many ordinary Poles, including my wife, saw as a direct threat to public safety.

Among the emotional lines she spoke were:
“I am a mother, I am a Pole. I am afraid for the future of my child. I am simply afraid that some Black man will come when I am out walking with my child and harm us. Do not let Black people and Islamists colonize our beautiful Zamość. Down with immigration!”

After the verdict she stated clearly:
“I am simply a mother who wants her child to be able to walk safely on the streets of a Polish city. I just wanted Poland to remain safe. I don’t want to be afraid of evening walks. I don’t want to be afraid of strangers on the street. At the rally many statistics were presented from Western European countries where mass immigration, especially from Africa and Islamic countries, has brought a rise in crime — these are facts, not racism.”

There was no call to violence and no incitement to hatred — only a mother’s public warning about real risks. Yet the court convicted her. In its reasoning the court even treated slogans such as “A Pole is the host in Poland,” “That could have been me,” or “Down with immigration” as racism, incitement to hatred, and psychological manipulation intended to frighten people. This is absurd.

Official statistics from Western Europe clearly show that certain groups of immigrants commit far more crimes per capita than the native population. Pointing out these facts is not hatred — it is reality.

Official statistics from Western Europe clearly show that certain groups of immigrants commit far more crimes per capita than the native population. Pointing out these facts is not hatred — it is reality.

The double standard is glaring: while my wife was swiftly investigated and punished for her words, the Venezuelan murderer still has not received a final sentence more than a year later.

The court imposed this financial penalty knowing our circumstances. We are both full-time physiotherapy students at the university, raising a small child and relying on academic scholarships.

My wife is currently the top physiotherapy student at the entire university; I am second. We work hard because we want to help people through our future profession.

Last year my wife was one of the main organizers of a large charity event that helped a hundred children from orphanages in our region. She also organized the local March for Life and Family. She is a person with an angelic heart — yet the court treated her as if she were some kind of beast inciting hatred.

In addition to the 3,000 PLN fine, the prosecution had demanded 10 months of restriction of liberty for my pregnant wife! This demand alone is an unimaginable absurdity. They also commissioned a linguistic expert opinion that cost approximately 5,000 PLN (about $1,300).

That expert produced an extremely left-wing, politicized report that went far beyond linguistics and even urged the authorities to punish such statements harshly so Poland would not become “anti-democratic, dangerous and backward.”

The court itself completely rejected this opinion as incomplete, non-objective and biased — so we were spared being burdened with those extra thousands of zlotys. Despite discarding the expert’s report, however, the court still adopted essentially the same narrative that the far-left expert had pushed.

Altogether we were looking at a potential cost of around 8,000 PLN (roughly $2,100) plus the threat of 10 months of restricted freedom.

The conviction has no legal foundation under Polish free-speech protections or the European Convention on Human Rights. Ordo Iuris, the respected Christian-conservative legal institute that defends civil liberties, is representing Oliwia and has already announced an appeal demanding full acquittal.

Since the case became public, the harassment has intensified. My wife, myself, and even our young child have become targets of online insults. There have been isolated but very real threats coming from leftist, including some who live in our own city.

Poland was long regarded as one of the most resistant countries in Europe to the woke agenda. Under the current liberal government that resistance is being systematically dismantled.

Citizens who dare to warn about the dangers of mass immigration are now being prosecuted while real violent criminals face far slower justice.”

This is not isolated. It is the same pattern of speech policing and elite double standards we have documented across Europe and increasingly in the United States.

A young Polish mother is punished for protecting her children. The actual killers and the politicians importing the chaos face far less urgency. Free speech is under attack in Poland just as it is elsewhere. The voice of a young mother should never be treated as a crime.

“Abdul B. was scheduled to attend a deradicalization course today”

Abdul B, the Lebanese Muslim terrorist who rammed his car into a gay pride parade in Berlin, killing 1 and wounding 16, predictably had a quite extensive track record with the authorities as most of his ilk do.

None of that track record actually kept him behind bars or out of the country.

As bad as our pro-crime justice system is, look at the horrifying situation in Germany that led to this murderous rampage.

Abdul “had been arrested in November 2025 at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) after serving a three-month prison sentence in Lebanon, following unsuccessful attempts to join the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) in Syria.”

“After a lengthy period of pre-trial detention, he was sentenced on May 12th by a juvenile court at the Tiergarten District Court to 22 months’ imprisonment – ​​among other things for preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state. The decision regarding whether to suspend this sentence on probation was therefore postponed for a period of six months.”

“According to the public prosecutor’s office, searches were carried out at his address in Berlin-Schöneberg at the beginning of this month. The searches were reportedly based on an initial suspicion of a violation of the weapons law. However, only a toy gun was found. According to the newspaper “Bild,” Abdul B. was scheduled to attend a deradicalization course today, Monday.”

I’m sure he would have passed. The good news is he was shot and killed so at least this part of the circus is over.

frontpagemag

In a video posted on social media, the suspect appears to be pinned to the ground by several individuals. He seems somewhat disoriented and says: “It was Allah who ordered me to do it.” Speaking to the press, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said he remained “very cautious about the motive behind this violent act” committed by a man “making incoherent statements.” The suspect provided a self-declared identity that still needs to be verified. According to a source close to the investigation, he has the profile of a “mentally disturbed individual.”

“I hoped it was not an Arab Muslim but a white Christian.”

The remark was made during a vigil held in Berlin for the victims of the attack on the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade on Saturday. The woman who spoke revealed something more telling than a mere emotional reaction: a desire for the terrorist to fit a politically convenient frame.

She was not hoping that the attacker did not exist. She was hoping he was someone else.

🚨WTF. At a vigil for the Berlin Pride parade victims, an LGBTQ+ speaker says she had hoped the attacker was "not an Arab-Muslim, but a White Christian person"

The attack took place on July 25th in Berlin’s Tiergarten park. A man drove into the crowd, and then attacked people with a bladed weapon. One woman was killed and another 29 people were injured.

The suspect was later identified as Abdul B., a 21-year-old German of Lebanese origin known for his Islamist connections. German authorities classified the incident as Islamist terrorism. The attacker was shot dead by police the following day.

The facts forced part of the Left to confront its own reflection. A white Christian attacker would have allowed the assault to be presented as a direct consequence of supremacism, the far Right, or Western intolerance. A radicalised Islamist, by contrast, forces an acknowledgement that there are religious and political currents incompatible with the rights the LGBT movement claims to defend.

The CSD organisers, predictably, called for the attack not to be politically “instrumentalised” and insisted that no community should be placed under general suspicion. The principle is reasonable: no citizen should be held responsible for another person’s actions because of their origin or religion. The problem arises when caution is used to prevent any discussion of the terrorist’s specific ideology.

The attack must not be politicised, they say—except to decide in advance which interpretation is forbidden.

The episode reinforces a familiar pattern. When an attacker happens to belong to the far Right (a much less common occurrence in Germany than violence committed by Islamists or left-wing extremists), the Left demands an examination of the political climate, “hateful” public rhetoric and speaks of collective responsibility. When the perpetrator is an Islamist, the debate shifts towards Islamophobia, social exclusion, or the danger that the Right might exploit the facts. Sometimes, a veil of silence is simply drawn over the incident in the hope that it will be forgotten.

The identity of the perpetrator ends up mattering the most, lest it further shatters the diversity myth. 

Those attacked in Berlin were not victims of an abstraction. They were attacked by a radicalised individual whose ideology regarded violence as legitimate. Acknowledging that does not criminalise all Muslims. Denying it is a disservice to all Germans.

An American tourist who was left disfigured after intervening in an assault on a woman aboard a German tram has claimed the country’s Government tried to cover up his attack.

John Rudat, a 21-year-old model, was slashed with a box cutter when he tried to protect two women from being “assaulted and harassed” in Dresden last August.

The attack left him with a scar stretching from beneath his eye, across his nose and through his upper lip, requiring extensive surgery.

The 21-year-old Syrian national who inflicted the life-changing injuries was handed a three-year youth prison sentence, while his accomplice, who also assaulted Mr Rudat, was suspended on probation for a year and eight months.

Speaking exclusively to GB News, Mr Rudat claimed a minister ordered him to “keep quiet” about his ordeal while he was in hospital.

He said the minister visited him in hospital and advised him to stay silent in the media.

The politician is also alleged to have promised that his attacker would face a “hard sentence”.

“The minister spoke to me off the books for about an hour in a private room in the hospital… he said: ‘John, we’re going to give them a hard sentence, don’t you worry but here’s what I need you to do.’

“I need you to keep quiet about it… Stay out of the media light and just let us handle it for you.”

Mr Rudat also slammed his attacker’s “lenient” sentence, branding it “insane.”.

Both he and his accomplice were sentenced under Germany’s youth criminal law.

“What everybody was really confused about, including my lawyer when I went over there to testify, was why these grown men were being tried under juvenile law. It doesn’t make sense.”

The two defendants had prior convictions including assaults on police officers and drug trafficking.

Both had subsidiary protection status in Germany at the time of the attack but this has since been revoked.

It remains unclear whether they will be deported.

Both defendants expressed remorse and apologised for their actions, claiming they had been drunk at the time of the attack.

“These two individuals had 10 prior accounts each… It’s insane,” Mr Rudat told The People’s Channel.

“Three years is very lenient. One year and eight months on probation suspended for the man who was assaulting the woman, with 100 hours of community service.

“What kind of verdict is that?”

Mr Rudat suggested that he had no regrets over intervening to try and defend the frightened girl.

When asked what he would like others to learn from his ordeal, he encouraged them to “step in no matter what.”

“I would be grateful if, the next time they saw violence or injustice happening in public, they stepped in no matter the consequences.

“Because the moment people refuse to stand up for each other as citizens is the moment we lose the sacred moral fabric of society.

“I hope people stand up for one another, both in Europe and here in America.”

Yesterday, a German-born man named Abdul Ballout—and when I wrote “German-born,” I bet you were expecting a name like Fritz Shlangenbaum—drove a rented car into a huge Pride parade in Berlin, after which he attacked attendees with a machete. Ballout killed a woman and injured 29 others, many seriously.

Even though Ballout was a known Islamic terrorist sympathizer and used a preferred terrorist method for attacking a crowd, Berlin police were mystified as to his motive. And now that Ballout is dead, I guess we’ll never know.

The attack needs little description: Ginormous parade with out-and-proud LGBTQ+ attendees, car driven right into the parade, man jumps out with a big knife. We’ve seen it before. And every time we’ve seen it, as the meme goes “…and it’s Islam.”

What’s a little more interesting in this case is the attacker and what the German authorities knew about him before he went on a rampage:

Although the 21-year-old Ballout was born in Germany, he came from a Lebanese family.

Ballout had an extensive youthful criminal history.

In 2024, he was distributing Islamic State propaganda on Instagram.

In 2025, he headed to Lebanon intending to continue to Syria, where he could join ISIS. The Lebanese arrested him, and Germany, because he was a citizen, took him back.

In May 2026, the police arrested him for his efforts to join ISIS. Ballout was eventually sentenced to almost two years in prison, but he got a suspended sentence. Because he’d been held in prison in both Lebanon and Germany before his trial, and because he promised he’d distanced himself from ISIS, the authorities let him walk.

As part of this suspended sentence, Ballout was sent to an extremism-prevention or deradicalization counseling program. He’d attended two sessions and was due for another session tomorrow. His first two sessions were unsatisfying, for he was hard to assess and gave clearly rehearsed responses to the counselors.

In sum, Ballout was a first-generation German, a home-grown radical Islamist, a man anxious to shed blood, and a career criminal. But there he was, out and about, driving a rental car around, and ready to commit jihad. Such is the state of modern Germany.

The police soon announced that they suspected Ballout might be a terrorist, but they were never ready to commit to that conclusion. They eventually located him in Spandau (the location of the prison in which convicted Nazis were held after the war). When Ballout saw police approaching, he attacked them with a knife, earning a bullet that killed him.

In other words, it’s a typical story, one we’ve read and seen over and over. It’s what the West has become since it made porous the border between the West and the Islamic world.

And yes, most Muslims are peaceful, but 10% are not, and 10% of 1.6 billion is a very big number (160 million), especially because, in some places, as many as 90% of “peaceful” Muslims support the same goal as the violent ones: The establishment of a global caliphate controlled by sharia law.

But here are a couple of thoughts for you. Across the West, LGBTQ+ people tend to be leftists—although certainly not all. Brave people like Scott Bessent, Scott Presler, Dave Rubin, and others think with their brains, not the contents of their undies. But there are the brainless ones…so many brainless ones, like this man at Berlin’s Pride parade before the jihad attack:

A gay man at Berlin Pride described Israel as the aggressor and enemy of the LGBT community, saying that Muslims and Palestinians are their true allies instead.

I wonder if this man is still locked in his pro-Islam, antisemitic delusion or if he’s struggling with cognitive dissonance. The best-case scenario is that he’s heading for the nearest AfD headquarters.

For those who don’t pay close attention to German politics, AfD stands for Alternative für Deutschland or “Alternative for Germany.” One of its founders is Alice Weidel, a lesbian, who concluded that unlimited Islamic and other Third World immigration was destroying Germany and putting people like her at risk.

The German establishment has relentlessly castigated the AfD as a Nazi-style party and has worked hard to make it illegal. What the establishment really objects to is AfD’s core stance: It’s opposed to unlimited Middle Eastern and African immigration, which has changed Germany into a place unrecognizable from what it was a mere 30 or more years ago.

And while it’s true that Germany successfully had mass Turkish immigration in the 1960s, because it needed people to do its scut work, those Turks were secular and mostly assimilated well. The newer immigrants have not assimilated well, and they’ve managed to radicalize many of the descendants of those original Turks.

Despite government efforts, the AfD is the largest opposition party in the Bundestag, with 151 members out of a total of 630. I suspect its numbers will grow in the next election.

But meanwhile, the German police will just be left guessing as to what really drove Abdul Ballout to target a gay Pride parade.

Via Nius.de:
Terrorist Abdul Ballout was shot dead today during a police operation in Berlin. This was confirmed by the Senate Department for the Interior.

According to reports, police surrounded a garden plot before moving in and killed the Islamist who drove through the gay pride parade in Berlin on Saturday.

According to Bild.de the terrorist was killed at 6:34 PM German Time.

Abdul attempted several times to join the Islamic State.

On Saturday a suspect believed to be tied to Berlin’s “Islamist scene” plowed through the Berlin Gay Pride Parade killing at least one person and injuring 16 others. The Berlin Christopher Street Parade is one of the largest annual LGBT events in Europe.

The killer rammed his car into revelers at the annual Christopher Street Day celebration.

The Sun reported that the suspect then left the vehicle with a bladed weapon and attacked people in the park near the end of the parade route.

According to Bild.de, the man, currently at large, is known to be a member of the Islamist scene. He is believed to be Abdul B., 21. The manhunt for him is currently underway.

Hours later the media admitted Abdul Ballout was linked to Islamist groups and was on the authorities’ radar.

Abdul was born in Germany but left the country for Lebanon.

According to Drew Pavlou:

Germany identified him as an Islamist threat, so they had him arrested in Lebanon and FLEW HIM BACK TO GERMANY to put him on trial for plotting terror attacks.

He was convicted and sentenced for terrorism offences in May 2026 but released on time served.

By July 2026 he was back on the streets.

German authorities told him to attend de-radicalisation counselling sessions.

He responded by carrying out a jihadist terrorist attack on a pride parade.

Obviously, the authorities dropped the ball on this one.

Abdul finished his de-Islamization counseling two months ago. On Saturday he drove his car through the Gay Pride Parade.

Via Adrian Shtuni:

– In May 2026, the Amtsgericht Tiergarten in Berlin sentenced him to a youth sentence of 1 year and 10 months for preparation of a serious state-endangering violent act.
– He was released from juvenile detention in May 2026 on probation and ordered to attend a deradicalization programme.
– Of the 26 scheduled appointments, he is reported to have attended only 2.
– Despite prior violent offenses, documented ISIS affinity, and a concrete attempt to join the group, he was released on probation with minimal oversight.
– Roughly 2 months later he is alleged to have carried out a vehicle-ramming attack.

Abdul Ballout (21) has been identified as the suspect in an attack targeting #Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (CSD/Pride parade).
– One person was killed and 29 others were injured.
– Ballout is a German citizen (born in Berlin in 2005) of Lebanese descent.

The constant recourse to “patriarchy” serves to dilute culturally alien responsibilities into a universal broth of “male violence.”

Chilling data from the German government capture this dramatic reality.

In 2025, Germany recorded 751 gang rapes.

If my math is correct, that is two gang rapes a day. One cannot say that multiculturalism has not enlivened life in European societies.

And we are talking only about gang rapes, not rape in general.

A sophisticated form of nihilism: one that, in order not to break the taboo of mandatory migration, accepts that two gang rapes a day become a mere statistic.

Or, as the excellent Ulf Poschardt of the liberal newspaper Welt put it, “if the perpetrators are migrants, then the victims don’t count.”

Poschardt writes:

“The current feminism is one of the leading disciplines of selective empathy. After the atrocious crimes of Pakistani gangs in Britain, with mass rapes and unbearable accounts of abuse of young girls, one would have expected a clear and decisive feminist reaction. Instead, it was completely absent. To be cynical, one could say that these victims had the misfortune of not being entertainment stars who had previously posed in bikinis for men’s magazines – and of not having public-funded NGOs to bring their demands to ministries and the media.

“The same applies to the victims in Nuremberg. There, numerous young girls were seduced, made dependent on drugs, abused, raped, and forced into prostitution. The alleged perpetrators come from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, and North African countries. Here too, there is feminist silence. Even worse: according to the session record, the left-wing deputy Katrin Fey laughed when Alice Weidel said: ‘At Nuremberg Central Station, the hometown of CSU president Markus Söder, migrant gangs drug underage German girls to abuse them as sex slaves.’

“If the perpetrators are migrants, then the victims don’t count. The silence on the mistreatment of women in Iran when they dance without a veil, on the rapes and murders of Jewish girls perpetrated by Hamas barbarians, on the fate of girls in Afghanistan who live like animals, speaks for itself.

“Meanwhile, public television airs reports in which the veil and the covering of the female body are idealized and even interpreted as a feminist gesture of self-determination. The last feminists who are not blind to that barbarism, which also has a religious-cultural dimension, come from the heroic generation of Alice Schwarzer, who debated with icons of the movement like Simone de Beauvoir. Today’s feminism is largely an Instagram perfume: it doesn’t contain even a shred of thought.”

It is a failure by which one measures the moral bankruptcy of contemporary liberalism: “women’s rights” are exalted, but their concrete safety is sacrificed on the altar of “diversity” understood as a non-negotiable, almost theological value.

53 percent of the 574 suspects do not hold German citizenship, and for the others, any possible migrant background is not specified. Syria tops the list with 110 suspects, followed by Afghanistan with 64, Iraq with 46, and Turkey with 44.

Friedrich Merz said this as opposition leader, but now that he is Chancellor, he does not yet seem willing to change policy.

The victims, in 80 percent of cases, are German citizens.

These figures put Western society in a dead end: it values women’s rights but imports millions of men from countries and cultures that subjugate them. It is difficult to raise the issue without being shouted down with cries of “Islamophobia.”

The same is true in other European countries.

In Sweden, the homeland of sexual freedoms, the BBC (not some right-wing site) reports that 80 percent of rapes are committed by foreigners.

Data from the Paris police show that 77 percent of solved rape cases in the capital are committed by people without a French passport.

In England, 84 percent of men convicted as members of grooming gangs are Pakistani.

We have seen no shortage of feminists justifying and relativizing the gang rapes committed by jihadists against Israeli women.

But the fear of racism now prevails even over the defense of European women. Ralf Jaeger, Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, said about the Cologne rapes: “What happens on right-wing platforms is at least as terrible as the acts of those who assault women.”

Thus, the mainstream prefers collective gaslighting: “it’s just poverty,” “it’s migrant trauma,” “it’s universal patriarchy.” As if the rate of native sexual violence were comparable to that imported from tribal and Islamized societies. As if they did not know about “taharrush gamea,” the rape game in which men surround women, strip them, and rape them.

Until a few decades ago, “gang rapes” did not exist in Europe, except in the darkest corners of crime news. Now we have ended up like the boiled frog.

In Germany, a couple of Islamists who, with ISIS, had kidnapped and enslaved two Yazidi girls and brought them to Germany – where they continued to keep them as slaves – have just been convicted.

Is this also “patriarchy”?

If the lukewarm water suddenly boiled, the frog would jump out of the pot. But if the temperature is raised little by little, imperceptibly, it will even be pleasant – and when the frog realizes it is too hot, it will be too late.
