Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The Battered Woman Syndrome

“Every living creature loves itself, and as soon as it is born strives to preserve itself.” — Cicero

Cicero, fortunately for himself, was not familiar with the concept of Identity Politics, Critical Race Theory, Institutional Racism, Intersectionality, or “White Privilege/ Male Privilege”; otherwise he would certainly have changed his mind. He did not yet know that a new race of people would appear that would not strive to preserve itself, but to voluntarily sacrifice itself in the name of the universal progress, personified in Muslim migrants, BLM and, of course, “Free Palestine.”

In Israel, this race has multiplied in an extraordinary way, and even Oct. 7 could not change its nature. Recently, two Israeli women decided to defend Arabs in Mukhmas, east of Ramallah, from “noar ha’gvaot” (“Hilltop Youth”). The stones of Jewish settlers injured them, and they were evacuated to an Israeli hospital.

Let’s think about it: two young women put themselves in huge danger TWICE. First, they traveled to an Arab village, where they could at very least easily have become the target of sexual aggression from those they were there to protect; second, they got involved in a direct conflict between groups of armed men.

This anomaly, a challenge to the basic instinct of self-preservation, is, of course, not just an Israeli phenomenon. Masochism has become the norm in Western civilization.

  • The story of Robert Fisk from The Independent provides a textbook example. In Pakistan, Afghan refugees severely beat him. His reaction was forgiveness and understanding. He pointed out that their “brutality was entirely the product of others, of us, of we who had armed their struggle against the Russians and ignored their pain and laughed at their civil war and then armed and paid them again for the ‘War for Civilization’ just a few miles away and then bombed their homes and ripped up their families and called them ‘collateral damage.’”
  • In 2008, an Italian activist and co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), Vittorio Arrigoni, 36, arrived in Gaza on a boat which broke Israel’s blockade to help “Palestinian people.” He had the Arabic word for “resistance” (مقاومة, muqāwama) tattooed on his right arm. Salafist jihadis seized and executed him.
  • After mass gang rapes in Cologne on New Year’s Eve, Mayor Henriette Reker urged young women and girls to remain at “an arm’s length” from strangers, that is, apparently wear closed clothing (possibly burkas?). Not long before this, Recker herself was stabbed and seriously wounded whilst campaigning to become mayor.
  • In October 2015, a young activist of the “No Borders” group who went to a refugee camp to help Sudanese refugees was brutally raped. Her friends recommended her not to report it to the police.
  • In December 2015, a gay person took pity on two young refugees in a park, inviting them to his home and offering food and clothing. This was the very last good deed in his life. Moroccans (aged 16 and 19), raped their benefactor, beat him to death and then dressed him in women’s clothes and strangled him with a dead snake, which they found in the park. (It is difficult to find a more symbolic story of the end of Western civilization than this one).
  • In early April 2016, a Norwegian politician, Karsten Nordal Hauken, who helped immigrants from the Third World, invited a refugee from Somalia to his home. After getting food and shelter, the asylum seeker decided that all this was not enough for him; he raped Karsten Nordal Hauken. For Karsten, this was a “serious trauma”: he fell into depression, became addicted to alcohol and drugs, and needed to see a psychologist. His rapist was arrested and sent to prison (which, given the state of prisons in Norway, resembled a five-star hotel for him). Five years later, after a lengthy trial, the Norwegian authorities decided to extradite the migrant to his homeland. For the long-suffering Hauken, this decision was another trauma. In an interview with the Norwegian TV channel NRK, he said that he felt pain and bitterness. “I had a strong feeling of guilt and responsibility. I was the reason that he would not be in Norway anymore, but rather, sent to a dark uncertain future in Somalia.” He also added that “I see him mostly as a product of an unfair world, a product of an upbringing marked by war and despair.”
  • In July 2016, 24-year-old Selin Gören, national spokeswoman of the left-wing youth movement Solid in Germany, “was ambushed late at night in a playground” by migrants from Iraq, and “was forced to perform a sex act on her attackers.” In spite of this, she did not disclose the Arabic or Farsi names of the rapists to the police, out of fear of fueling racism against refugees.
  • In August 2018, a group of American cyclists travelled to Tajikistan. They wanted to prove to themselves and the whole world that evil does not exist, that all people are good, and the stories about Muslim terrorists are only a scarecrow for stupid children. They were riding bicycles when a car crashed into them at full speed. Later, people shouting “Allahu akbar” murdered those who had survived the crash.
  • In December 2018, jihadis in Burkina Faso captured 37-year-old Canadian Edith Blais and her Italian companion Luca Tacchetto while they were touring the region. They were held in the desert in northern Mali for 15 months before fleeing one night on foot. But …she justified her abductors. “They don’t have anything, they’re very poor and they don’t understand they’re doing wrong,” she said.
  • In February 2020, mights subjected an 18-year-old Swedish teen to heinous bullying. Among other things, they urinated on his face and forced him to open his mouth while doing so. But according to Mikael Damberg, Sweden’s Social Democratic Minister of the Interior, the young migrants did so “because they feel hopeless and like they do not belong in society.”
  • After the massacre in Würzburg in June 2021, in which a Somali man who was screaming “Allahu akbar” murdered three women in a shop and seriously injured five others, including an eleven-year-old girl, Würzburg’s mayor Christian Schuchardt (Christian Social Union, CSU) said that “the Somali community is now deeply insecure.” “How would you feel as a foreigner in our city?,” he asked.
  • On December 31, 2024, Imogen, a 19-old Briton, became victim of the mass sexual assault attack at Piazza del Duomo, Milan, when she brought in the new year with friends. According to the Italian news agency ANSA, the men were identified as young North Africans. Eyewitnesses reported that they were carrying Palestinian flags. Imogen didn’t let them be disparaged. “It is a total, blatant lie, to claim that our group were attacked by men holding Palestinian flags,” Imogen insisted.
  • In October 2025, a Malian migrant raped Izaro, a young woman from Bilbao (Spain). After she shared her story publicly, the conservative party Vox wrote on X: “This is how these scoundrels operate.… We urgently need to close borders, even more so to eradicate this irrational do-gooderism. A firm hand, or the system will never work.” Rather than directing her criticism toward the left’s facilitating the mass arrival of criminals, Izaro took aim at the Vox party, and blamed it for spreading “racist junk propaganda.”

This is not an exception to the rule; it is already the norm. Many on social media are sarcastically asking whether countless “woke” people who stand for a “Free Palestine” know what would await them if they found themselves in Gaza. I’m convinced they do. They know, and they’re ready to sacrifice themselves. Because this is a new quasi-religion that demands voluntary human sacrifices in the name of “universal progress and justice.”

The social experiment was a success. Mice save cats; hares defend foxes; sheep help wolves. Cicero would certainly have been quite astonished to encounter such a phenomenon.

Comments

  1. Yet even in the Roman Empire the same decadent trends arose: according to David Goldman birth rates among Graeco-Romans had fallen below replacement rate. From Gibbkn we learned that the Imperial Army, lacking native recruits, had to import Goths as “auxiliaries” who, once they perceived the internal weakness of the Empire, set about looting it instead if defending it.

  2. Not a “bride,” not her ‘husband,’ but her rapist and tormenter; and not exactly OT

    “A child bride, who was impregnated at just 13 years old, faces execution for the murder of her husband unless she raises £80,000 to pay off his family. Goli Koohkan was 12 years old when her parents arranged for her to be married to a cousin. When she turned 18, she was arrested and sentenced to qisas (retribution-in-kind) for involvement in the killing of her husband after years of being trapped in an abusive marriage.

    Koohkan, who is now 25, was thrown into Gorgan Central Prison in northern Iran. She was sentenced to death by hanging and has so far spent seven years in jail, making her the longest-serving female inmate in the region. An inside source told the Iran Human Rights (IHR) non-profit organisation: “On the day of the murder, her husband had been beating both Koohkan and their young son.
    “Desperate and helpless, she called his cousin for help. When he arrived, a fight broke out, which ended with her husband being unintentionally killed.

    “Goli called for an ambulance and told the authorities everything.”

    The fight broke out after Kookhan returned home to find that her husband had beaten up their five-year-old son, it is reported.
    After the child bride was arrested, her family completely abandoned her. As a result, former prison mates have launched a campaign to raise £80,000 to pay off the husband’s family debt.

    Under Iranian law, the family of the victim can pardon Kookhan in exchange for a ‘blood money’ payment in cases of murder or bodily harm.

    The agreement expires in December, and they have so far only collected around 1.5% of the money, it is understood.

    The source added: “Goli was 12 when she was forced to marry a cousin. A year later, she gave birth to a son at home without medical care.
    “While pregnant, she was forced to do heavy farm and house work and consistently subjected to physical violence at the hands of her husband who also cut her contact with her family and friends.”

    A former cellmate of the victim told IranWire that Kookhan nearly died giving birth to her son.
    “Her pelvis was too small, so she was afraid, and this became the reason for violence against her,” they said. She was reportedly pressured to have more children.

    Kookhan attempted to escape from the abusive marriage, yet was unsuccessful each time due to her undocumented status – which is common in minority communities – and pressure from her family.

    She managed to flee once, yet her father threatened her when she returned to her parents’ home.

    Last year, at least 31 women were executed, the Metro reported, which is the deadliest year since 2015.

    • Thanks for the link to this grim story. In fact, *most* women in prison in Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are in because they resisted forced marriage, ran away from an abusive marriage, or dared to talk to an unrelated male. Some are also imprisoned because they, often after years of abuse, tried to defend themselves.

  3. Western females are of particular concern because they have been given power that has never before existed in human history and look what they have done with that. Really pathetic.

    • Of course, their Stockholm Syndrome arose from their experience in the Western Patriarchy. And now many “Conservative” Western men are pushing the narrative that this is 100% because women are naturally weak, and therefore fair game for these men to continue to dominate and disempower. Be careful how you spin this. There is nuance involved and you can’t always blame and take advantage of women without contradicting yourself and looking as bad as the M…ims.

      • Your comment is straight out of a women’s studies class. I just commented on what I see. Refugees welcome, they are in danger! Conservative Western men are pushing the narrative that this is 100% because women are naturally weak. I have always been around conservative men and I have never witnessed that type of behavior before among them. Women have always liked me because I treat them as equals but I also know that women are better at some things than men are and men are better at some things than women are. If you think Western men have a patriarchy you wont want to thoroughly examine most of the rest of the world. There has never been such a thing as gender based elevation for Western Conservative men. But on the other hand, yeah. The truth is, back in the day, the two genders had a better cooperative working relationship than they do today.

        • I agree. I have known many men….I grew up with a lot of brothers, uncles, cousins and I can agree with your assessment.

          Women who don’t recognize the fact that men are better at some things, or have some strengths which women do not, and women have some things they can do better and have different strengths, are missing the importance of there being both men and women.

          If there is a strong moral man who heads a family, the family is going to be happier and better equipped to face whatever comes. His wife is there to help him, not take over, but using her strengths and insights to see family success.

          Neither can fully take the place of the other.

      • And whats the deal with M…ims? Is that just nuance? Are M…ims already dominating and disempowering you? .If you are a western female you should be ashamed of yourself for fearing spelling it out. If you are a western male you should be ashamed of yourself for fearing spelling it out. I am a conservative Western man and that is my version of equality. In my writing do not expect me to hold back and treat women as if they are to weak to read the sometimes uncomfortable truth.

  4. It seems to me that there isn’t even any proof that it was Goli who killed he husband, rather than the cousin. Hideously unjust.

  5. Die Feministinnen im Westen sind ein machtgeiler Abschaum, die weder für Frauenrechte noch für den Schutz von Kindern eingetreten sind. Diese Aktivistinnen sind größtenteils Männerhassende, Familienverachtende Furien, die nie ein Interesse an Gleichberechtigung für Frauen hatten, weil sie größtenteils Lesben sind. In diesem Milieu wurde der Wokismus, der Genderkult und der Klimaschwachsinn geboren.
    Bei ihren Forderungen nach gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe von Frauen, die sie mit der Einführung von Quoten erzwingen wollten, sucht man vergeblich die Forderung von Parität in ganz normalen Berufen wie dem Handwerk, Maschinenbau, Straßenbau etc, sondern immer nur da, wo viel geschwätzt und wenig geleistet wird. Am liebsten lassen sie sich in den Führungsetagen von Konzernen und in der Politik nieder. Das DEI-Programm ist genau auf diese leistungs- und verantwortungslose Klientel zugeschnitten, um an die Futtertröge der Macht zu gelangen.
    Die Unis sind voll von unnützen “geisteswissenschaftlichen” Bullshit-Studiengängen, die mehrheitlich weiblich konnotiert und ein Wissenschaftsbetrug sondergleichen sind.

  7. Regardless of what these idiots have to say afterwards, you can be sure that these personal traumas will keep festering beneath their posture. They can keep projecting the image of do-gooders to the outside world, but they know, deep down, that the nagging doubt of never being able to feel safe again will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

    It’s going to slowly eat away at them. They are a lost cause, no matter what they have to say for themselves. They know that all that stupid talk is not going to solve their issues. They have to drag themselves out of this gutter of their own accord. They are on their own.

    So fuck them !

  8. Yes, it’s battered-wife syndrome, but why? Recently, there has been talk of the feminization of society and its negative effects, and of course leftists are more feminized than society generally. And so the left sticks up for people who hate them and want to kill them. Feelings are more important than facts.

    This might also explain the lockdown, in which people seemed frightened way beyond what the facts suggested.

  9. I don’t think it’s Stockholm etc.

    I thinK it might be the emotion driven desire to be a saint, a savior,
    to be better than everyone else.

    They alone can rise above nationalism and “do the right thing”.
    ESPECIALLY if it’s at a cost to themselves.
    That fact proves their purity!

    IT’S THE ULTIMATE VIRTUE SIGNAL.

    Rather like the daughter of a rich family that joins in a worker revolution.
    Or Chickens for KFC.
    See how pure I am, I’m
