Migrant Playfulness in Sexual Assertion Games

The "rape game" Taharrush is about a large group of Arab men surrounding their victim, usually a Western woman or a woman wearing Western-style clothing, and then the women are subjected to sexual abuse. 
They surround the victim in circles. The men in the inner circle are the ones who physically abuse the woman, the next circle are the spectators, while the mission of the third circle is to distract and divert attention to what's going on.
If there is enough men, the woman is dragged along by the mob, while the men take turns ripping her clothes off, grope her, and inserting fingers in her various body orifices.
Taharrush is noted in Egypt as a kind of "lighter sexual abuse or gang rape" and occurred during the Egyptian Revolution (The Arab Spring) of 2011 in the unrest at the Tahrir Square, where Egyptian women and in some cases foreign journalists were surrounded by groups of men, often having been touched with sexual intent and partly undressed, stripped naked and gang raped.

The world knows about the event that took place on New Year's Eve in Cologne, Germany. Although it only learned days after the mass molestation, robbery and rape occurred. Because the police kept it hushed since the German administration preferred it be so rather than implicate any of the perpetrators who were 'vulnerable' individuals as migrants requiring German protection, and the news media complied initially, having nothing to report about the fact that over 500 German women were the victims of a mass assault.

A coordinated one, no less, where an estimated 1,000 men congregated, broke up into small groups and began to target select women.

When it was reported, the police admitted that many of the men were of "Arab or North African origin" who publicly began molesting women. Cologne's police force had issued a press release which described the New Year's Day celebrations as "peaceful". The media in Germany reported nothing amiss for five days, despite hundreds of women coming forward to report the crimes. Apart from the Taharrush game considered a 'light' form of sexual harassment, there were of course rapes. But people were warned not to ... jump to conclusions.

The world learned about the sexual predation games that are so appealing to Egyptian men when CBS reporter Lara Logan became separated from her bodyguard while she was reporting a protest that turned into a riot in Tahrir Square in 2011 leading to her prolonged sexual assault by a horde of Egyptian men who viewed her as a victim placed there for their sexual gratification. Her trauma was such that she felt certain she was going to die. Her public shame did not restrain her from speaking in agonized detail afterward of the atrocity committed against her.

And this is the game that has been turned loose in Europe, where Muslim men have sought haven and opportunity to grow their futures, bringing with them the contempt for women and their cultural affinity for sexual violence meted out to women who dare show themselves in public. In Dusseldorf a large criminal gang of migrants has been molesting women in preparation of robbing them for several years, but does anyone really care since the migrants are viewed as the vulnerable ones and the women are advised to exert extraordinary precautions not to place themselves in compromising positions.

"With this proposal we are significantly lowering the hurdles for the possible expulsion of foreigners who have committed crimes in Germany", stated Interior Minister Thomas de Maisiere in Berlin, while making a public announcement that Germany is planning to ease the way to legally deport criminal foreigners. Not that this violently vicious predation on women by foreign elements in the country is new, but the Cologne event has brought it to the fore, and caused the kind of public outrage and international scrutiny that the authorities must now address.

No fewer than 553 criminal complaints have been lodged with police in connection with those assaults. And roughly 45 percent of the files involve those 'vulnerable' migrants who must be treated with tender consideration. The police have finally admitted that most of the suspects have been identified as foreign nationals. And although quite a few of the perpetrators have been identified, there have been no charges laid against anyone. For German authorities take into consideration the dangers these men may face should they be returned to their countries of origin.

If the announced deportation changes are approved by the German cabinet and parliament, a suspended prison sentence would also be grounds for deportation should someone be found guilty of crimes such as homicide, bodily harm, sexual assault, violent theft, and serial shoplifting; and youth sentences also would be covered. Meanwhile, German women are cautioned to comport themselves with a view to avoiding the unwanted attention of men unwilling to control their sexual urges.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation conducted a poll in 2013 which distinguished Syria to be worse than most in the Arab world for its disgusting treatment of women on issues of marriage, education, procreative rights and judicial corporal punishment. "Whether covered or uncovered, women here are used to hearing foul language and sexual suggestions from frustrated teenagers. They are also used to seeing men look hungrily at them as they walk by in the street.

"Sometimes the men brush against them, touching parts of their body. This is strictly forbidden, of course, but these incidents are rarely reported", reported BBC correspondent Lina Sinjab from Damascus in 2010.
