On a few afternoons in the late summer of 2015, I stood in a line with like-minded humanitarians from the PMC to deliver clothes, household items, and toys to Syrian refugees in far-away Greek or Italian refugee camps. During that time, I also started donating to various organizations building schools and facilitating day-to-day life in refugee camps in Eastern Europe.
I and my like-minded humanitarians from the educated classes saw the rise of the German PEGIDA (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident) or claims like that made by the AfD’s Frauke Petry in 2015 that border police officers must prevent the illegal crossing of the border and, if necessary, make use of a firearm, with understandable worry (though it must be noted that Petry merely quoted German Federal Law). Hence, as good humanitarian multicultural leftists, we even overcame our distrust in elite representatives and supported the Christian Democrat’s leader and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s iconic “Wir schaffen das!”—“we can make it!”: open the borders to anyone who wants to be let into the country, notably young Muslim men from the Levant who made up the greater part of immigrants. We were the good people, after all.
Today, ten years after the so-called refugee crisis and non-stop media coverage of the plight of the refuguees, almost no day goes by that we don’t hear of violent crime committed by immigrant Muslim men against German citizens, though the lesser crimes, like sexual assault, often no longer get media coverage. But Mannheim, Solingen, Bad Oeynhausen and more recently Magdeburg are now known as cities where people in the last year alone have found death at the hands of immigrants from Islamic countries.
But with the sheer scope of the rape gang epidemic in England, now revisited with long overdue urgency, and more recent deadly attacks in Belgium and France, the impression grows: multiculturalism is dead. It was killed along with the tortured, raped, and murdered girls at the hands of mostly British-Pakistani and other immigrant and second-generation men of Muslim background. The perpetrators did not accidentally pick their victims: these girls, many of them living near or below the poverty line in care or foster homes, were completely defenseless. They never had a “diversity” or “multiculturalism” lobby to speak for them.
The raped and tortured girls never had a “diversity” or “multiculturalism” lobby to speak for them.
To the contrary: the “multiculturalism” lobby helped prepare the grounds and encouragement for these girls to have become victims of these terrible crimes in the first place.
