Danish Muslims

Someone has pointed out with alarm that the majority of gang rapes in Denmark are by Muslim immigrants.

But this is not that surprising to me: a sad clash of cultures and cultural signals. Remember, good Muslim women are supposed to cover their legs and hair at all times. It is not surprising if someone raised in a traditional Muslim culture supposes that a woman who is walking by showing, say, the clear outlines of her breasts and buttocks, and exposing her legs and stomach, is advertising that, for her, anything goes. It would imply not just consent, but eager desire. Why hang a flashing neon shop sign if you’ve nothing to sell?
