In Greece, Elisabeth-Jane Ross, a Scottish woman who had come to work with migrants, was murdered and had her body stuffed into a suitcase and left in an abandoned building by an Afghan refugee who had his own refugee charity. In Ireland, Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old woman from upstate New York, hooked up with a ‘Palestinian’ refugee she met at an anti-Israel rally and he beat her to death and then fled. In Norway, Maren Sømme, a 30-year-old woman, was killed by an Afghan refugee previously facing deportation for abusing another woman.
But what may be difficult for the readers who scroll through these accounts in the tabloids to understand is that these horrific crimes are not aberrations or abuses, as they are in our culture, but normative behavior in the native Afghanistan of two of the alleged killers, or the ‘Palestinian’ areas in Israel, where men follow the teachings of the Koran to beat ‘disobedient’ women.
And in these cultures, women are routinely murdered in culturally sanctioned ‘honor killings’.
According to the UN’s World Health Organization, “almost 90% of women in Afghanistan have experienced at least one form of domestic violence.” The perpetrators were Afghan men following the dictates of an Islamic and Afghan culture where 92% of women “believe that a husband is justified in beating his wife.” After losing thousands of lives trying to redeem this brutal culture, we instead decided to import it to America and Europe in the form of ‘refugees’.
Afghan ‘refugees’ however don’t stop being Afghans. And they don’t stop beating women.
In Gaza, which after the Oct 7 massacres by Hamas became the supreme social media cause and looped in women like Jamey Carney, 70.4% of women reported domestic abuse. Carney became eager to learn about her new boyfriend’s religion, but learned about it the hard way.
And she’s far from alone.
The stories of these three women, abused and killed by Muslim ‘refugees’ across Europe within a short period of time are not unique and they show the threat that migrants from Muslim terrorist states pose to women and girls across Europe and the rest of the Western world.
Advocates for open borders hail mass migration as an engine of diversity, but what diversity really means is that the political, social, religious and cultural norms of America and Europe are being equalized with those of the rest of the world.
That doesn’t just mean more ethnic restaurants: it means that the situation for women in the West will resemble that of the cultures that the migrants are coming from… including Pakistan, Gaza and Afghanistan.
Each wave of mass migrants has been accompanied by a wave of violence against women.
The Arab Spring mass migration to Europe led to shocking events like the mass sexual assaults on 1,200 women on New Year’s Eve in the German city of Cologne. Pakistani Muslim mass migration to the UK resulted in the ongoing grooming gang crisis in the UK in which hundreds of thousands of young girls, many of them underage, were drugged, trafficked and raped.
The mass migration of Afghans is resulting in its own mostly invisible crisis of assaults that has played out against the background of vocal denials by the political establishment and the media.
Yet what is becoming painfully obvious is that women’s rights cannot coexist with open borders.
The same political establishment that welcomes mass migration has also set aside any expectation that Afghan, Iraqi or other Muslim migrants should adapt or leave at home any of their uglier cultural practices. Behaviors such as female genital mutilation (FGM), domestic violence and animal cruelty that were once a subject of reform efforts by activists have been subordinated to the supreme cause of unreservedly welcoming Muslim migrants to the West.
Traditional feminist concerns or criticisms have now been dismissed as ‘Islamophobic’. The authorities rush to excuse and even praise questionable behaviors such as cousin marriage, and ignore or cover up more problematic tribal ones, such as rape and violence that are sanctioned by the Koran when practiced by a conquering Muslim population against non-Muslims.
Mentions of this are quickly pigeonholed as ‘Islamophobic’, ‘anti-immigrant’ or ‘far-right’ even when those raising the issue are otherwise progressive or liberal, but worried about women. Even underage girls in the UK who complained about abuse were deemed ‘Islamophobes’.
No one wants to discuss what happens when a culture where even 9 out of 10 women find domestic violence acceptable comes into contact with our culture. And so women suffer and die.
It is not a coincidence that two of the three murdered women lost their lives because Islamic terrorism and mass migration were politicised and became a partisan issue, drawing in women to campaign for them. Politics has been used to censor away an issue that was once reported on in the pages of major newspapers, but that hasn’t eliminated its consequences.
Women keep on being assaulted, beaten and killed even if the media won’t report on it.
The wave of assaults on women and girls is only one of the undiscussed consequences of the larger crisis of Muslim mass migration. Misogyny, child abuse, fraud, corruption, antisemitism, terrorism, and extremism are the outcomes of the ‘equalization’ of Western nations to the level of the home countries of the migrants.
Just as Afghan refugees don’t stop beating women, they don’t stop shooting up gay nightclubs, like the Pulse Massacre in Orlando, they don’t stop stabbing Jews, like the Afghan man who stabbed a rabbi in the German city of Frankfurt, and they don’t stop joining ISIS like members of an Afghan refugee family who plotted an ISIS Election Day attack in Oklahoma.
Mass migration isn’t making Muslim refugees more Western. Just the opposite, it’s making Western nations more Middle Eastern, destroying the rights of women and minorities, wrecking public trust and civil society, tearing apart our moral codes and breaking apart the West.

Sadly, this is very true and has been going on for decades. My mother married an Iranian man in the 1970's. Once he had that marriage certificate and eventually citizenship papers his true nature came out. He was a terrible Muslim in terms of avoiding pork and alcohol and praying 5 times a day, but proudly endorsed its misogyny. He literally had a business plan which began with marrying an American woman to get citizenship then blackmailing her family so he could acquire property and expand to having 4 wives. 2 wives would work outside the home, 2 in an in-home business which he had built into the house while he was recruiting wife #2. When my traditional American mother finally had enough and took us kids and left seeking divorce, she found that social workers in our nation's political correct capitol district (Fairfax County VA) justified his physical, emotional and financial abuse of her as being required for HIS MUSLIM CULTURE to be respected. A PC female social worker actually sought to grant the abuse Iranian Muslim father custody of my sister and myself to insure HIS cultural rights were protected. That was in the 1980's! The situation grows worse with each immigrant from Muslims countries..legal or otherwise.
If you’re right, and I have no reason to doubt it, you know which side the Democrats are on. And the Republicans too, come to think of it.
So how many women are going to switch to the Republicans?
