Berlin — A brutal murder case has gripped Germany: On June 6 the body of a 14-year-old girl, Susanna Maria Feldmann, was found in Wiesbaden. She had been raped and strangled. Two days later her alleged assailant, Ali Bashar, a 20-year-old asylum seeker from Iraq, was apprehended in Iraqi Kurdistan, where he had fled. He reportedly confessed to the murder.
The case is just the latest in a string of murders and assaults by asylum seekers against women in Germany. In October 2016, Maria Ladenburger, a 19-year-old university student, was raped and killed by an Afghan asylum seeker. In December 2017, Mia Valentin, a 15-year-old girl, was stabbed to death in a drugstore by her ex-boyfriend, an Afghan migrant.
The cases have added fuel to the far right’s fiery anti-immigrant rhetoric. And it has created a dilemma for Germany’s liberal feminists: How can they fight against violence without supporting anti-immigrant resentments? Or to put it even more bluntly: Is it even possible to defend pluralism and women’s rights at the same time in Germany today?
Violence against women committed by immigrant men first became a topic of debate after hundreds of women were sexually harassed and abused by groups of young men, most of whom were immigrants from North African countries, at Cologne’s main train station on New Year’s Eve in 2015. Since then there has been a steady drumbeat of stories, ranging from harassment in the streets to rape and murder, across Germany.
The far right has exploited these cases to support its call to defend Western culture against “Islamization.” Men from “Muslim” societies generally hold negative and denigrating images of women, the far right claims, and these hideous crimes make clear how much of a threat they are to “the Occident” in general and to women in particular.

For sane people, there is no dilemma: If you value freedom, if you value Western Civilization, you can NOT support islam.
The mental gymnastics required to justify trying to integrate muslims into Western Society would make Nadia Comeneche (sp) blush.
You can bet your bottom dollar that this author, as well has hundreds if not THOUSANDS of these idiot Feminists have very different public vs private opinions of these savages.
They may screech to the heavens about the Neanderthals on the Right, but SECRETLY they agree with them in many instances.
Tough choice. i go with the Muzzies on this one. Feminism depends on a wussified male counterpart. Let them encounter men who are genuine animals with no consideration for women as human beings. What are they going to do with that? They have a choice. Kill themselves, kill their attackers, or love being raped. I know which they will choose because I know they are not brave or strong, just nasty. They will always choose nasty.
LOL! "The far right claims"? Is the New York Times going to defend Muslims from this statement?
or prone to “fearmongering”
Great video! Thanks for posting it.
