Slate puts mother of 5-year-old Muslim migrant rape victim on trial

Aug 3, 2016 10:47 am By Robert Spencer

This is an unconscionable exercise in journalistic terrorism by Slate’s Michelle Goldberg, as the mainstream media continues its mad quest to cover up the devastation wrought by Muslim migrants, and to portray their victims as evil. They don’t care if this little girl’s life and family are destroyed.

Here’s the family’s gofundme page. Please help them: they need to move, as they’re still living next door to one of the rapists.

“Pamela Geller: Slate Puts Mother of 5-Year-Old Rape Victim on Trial,” by Pamela Geller, Breitbart, August 2, 2016:

Slate magazine on Sunday published “If You Want to Live Here, You Need to Live by the Rules Here,” a 5,000-plus word exposition of the Muslim migrant rape case in Twin Falls, Idaho. Author Michelle Goldberg subtitles her piece: “A sexual assault case involving refugee children in Idaho. A microcosm of America in the age of Trump.” That tells you all you need to know: Goldberg and Slate are using this case to demonize opposition to the Democrats’ suicidal policies regarding Muslim migrants.

Goldberg doesn’t care about the five-year-old rape victim in Twin Falls in the slightest degree. In fact, throughout her lengthy piece and in texts with the victim’s mother, she puts this little girl and her family on trial.

Goldberg’s agenda is further exposed by the fact that throughout her wordy article, she doesn’t deign to include a full description of the attack itself. The closest Golberg comes to this is her account of the victim’s mother’s brief description of the video that the attackers took while they were raping the girl: “Her fiancé, she said, told her it showed oral sex as well as their daughter being urinated on.” But Goldberg follows this with prosecuting attorney Grant Loebs waxing “indignant at all the misrepresentations still swirling around about the case. ‘I’m a lifelong conservative Republican, and the behavior of the right-wing alternative press on this is atrocious.’” Loebs’ own dishonesty I have shown in a previous article.

The full exchange between Goldberg and the victim’s mother, whom Goldberg calls “Lori,” reveals how manipulative and deceitful Goldberg is. In text messages since shared with me, Goldberg appears determined to make the rape charge out to be some kind of cynical money-making scheme, questioning Lori about the GoFundMe page that was set up for the family — as if the family was claiming their daughter was raped by Muslim migrants only to make money. Goldberg presses Lori about the one-day suspension of the GoFundMe page in the wake of false charges that the rape claim was a “hoax” – was Goldberg hoping to expose the whole thing as a “hoax” as well?

In reality, the family is desperately poor and have not yet been able to move out of their apartment, where they have been living right next door to the rape suspect. Without any resources or powerful allies, they are going up against the well-greased leftist/Islamic machine in the media, law enforcement, refugee resettlement programs, and more.

In her text exchange, Goldberg repeatedly tries to manipulate Lori into reflecting Goldberg’s point of view. She disputes Lori’s account of what happening, at one point asking, “Wait, I thought there was no rape?” Lori has to remind her (spelling as in original): “Forced oral sex is a rape mam.”

Meanwhile, the victim’s mother told me this: “This is what my daughter has told me: that they grabbed her at knifepoint and forced her into the laundry room and told her that if she tried to leave, they would kill her. The seven-year-old boy took her clothes off. She tells me he put his private in her mouth and peed in her mouth, and put it in her private, and then peed all over her. And she said they recorded her, too… She also told the emergency room CARES doctor that they had a knife as well, and they found on her neck a cut. Then the day after, they claimed it was a scratch, when in fact it looked like a cut.”

Lori’s fiancée told me what he saw on the video: “I watched the 8-year-old boy push my daughter up against a wall and pull her pants down and his pants down; he then attempted to penetrate her from behind. She was able to run away and crouch in a corner shaking in fear while the boy danced around naked laughing at her. I stopped watching after that.”

How is it that Goldberg found these facts unremarkable, too insignificant to report?

Goldberg repeatedly asks Lori manipulative questions designed to depict Lori as having an anti-refugee agenda: “I’m just asking if you agree with those who want to make it a story about refugees, or if they’re taking advantage of your family’s tragedy.” “Are they not being charged because they’re refugees, or because they are minors?” “Did you worry about having people from the Middle East in your complex before, or only since this happened?”

Then in her article, Goldberg compares Cambodian refugees of the 1980s to what’s happening now. But this is a whole other thing: no previous group of refugees or immigrants has had a holy book that sanctions the sexual enslavement of non-believing women (cf. Quran 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). Goldberg does not, of course, discuss that. Instead, she writes: “At first glance, it might seem like an odd idea to bring traumatized foreigners to a remote, conservative American farming town.” But don’t worry: Michelle Goldberg will convince you otherwise.

Goldberg quotes Zeze Rwasama, whom she identifies as “the director of the CSI Refugee Center and a Congolese refugee himself,” saying: “The integration process happens faster than in big cities,” he said. “In small towns like this, everyone knows everyone. People are approachable.” Yeah, and rape-able, with a political and media machine ready to come to the aid of the rapist.

Further tilting the playing field, Goldberg writes: “Refugee advocates insist that the vast majority of Twin Falls citizens support the newcomers.” Who are these “advocates”? Has there been a vote, a referendum?

Zeroing in on her agenda, Goldberg also says: “This mounting demonization of refugees in Twin Falls has coincided, of course, with the rise of Donald Trump.” Of course, blame Trump. The fact is, this is not a which-came-first, the chicken or the egg thing. Anti-jihad and anti-sharia sentiment led to the rise of Trump, not the other way around. But Goldberg relentlessly pushes her agenda, looking for witnesses who call members of the counter-jihad group ACT “pure racists.” It’s plain slander.

Who is really looking to exploit the story here?

Goldberg is intent on demonizing even the victim’s mother. She quotes her as saying, “Maybe it’s what they do in their country, I don’t know. But I do know that the kids in that country can and are used as sex slaves.” Goldberg pulled that quote out of context, luring Lori into answering this way by asking her why the boy who videotaped the rape showed the video to her fiancée. Goldberg doesn’t quote another statement Lori texted to her: “I do believe there are good refugees that come here to live to get away from the horrible places they’re at.” Goldberg can’t show Lori saying there are good refugees; it wouldn’t fit her narrative. How low can Slate go? To pursue its pro-migrant agenda, Michelle Goldberg is demonizing and vilifying the family of a five-year-old rape victim.

Also, Goldberg tries to paint “Lori” as some kind of a nut. While leaving out statements that would make her sympathetic, Goldberg makes sure to include Lori’s saying she has not been well, as if to imply that she is unbalanced, and her story false.

The media is going to extraordinary lengths to kill this story, going so far as to target the family for character assassination. We cannot allow them to do so. The leftist migrant agenda be damned: this poor little girl must have justice.

    Yes. How dare the mother of a rape victim protest against the JIHAD! How dare she criticize our new Muslim rulers!

    The unforgiveable sin of the cultural Marxist elites is to criticize JIHAD.

        I thought liberals always took the side of the woman or child when it comes to rape! Not now, it seems as they have an election to win and they want to portray muslims as no different than any other people. I really do hate liberals like this woman, and I do hope that poetic justice occurs and she is raped by a muslim immigrant.

      Michelle Goldberg does not list her email at the end of her stories, as some Slate contributor’s do. Slate has said it will not forward emails to individual writers.

      But–with respect–if you *do* find her email address, I recommend that you don’t use a deceptive subject line, and that you be as polite as possible. One can be critical of this smear job while remaining professional.

    You could see this coming the way the powers that be in Twin Falls & Idaho doubled down on the family and supporters, when they knew all the time the truth of what happened, they knew the details and lied about them, and demonized (and threatened with prosecution) anyone who believed what little had been made public from the child’s mom. We might as well have Angela Merkel in charge. How can this not make anyone furious?

    It is absolutely shocking what is happening to the World!! I am appalled at this story, and I hope that people will support the family and help them relocate. Wish Trump would step in here.

    In Europe, we are experiencing the same: moslems have become ‘the Untouchables”! We have an asylum center in my country, where a perverse, evil mohammedan from Iran is creating havoc and the police has been called numerous times. This guy is threatening staff with a knife! What happens? Some organization now tries to tell us that these ‘poor fellas’ (refugee ‘children’ of approx. 20-20 years of age!) are sooo traumatized and can’t distinguish right from wrong! Isn’t that the main problem with ALL moslems??

    I feel bad, also because I am now sure that Hillary will win. Do Americans really think that Middle East leaders and dictators will take an old, American hag seriously? The West is going down in all aspects: morally and economically. People have forgotten what made the West great and prosperous: Christianity! Remember the founding fathers of America, e.g. Jefferson. He was an evangelical Christian. Today the West mocks Jesus Christ, and they are drowning in perverseness. Perhaps this is why so many have become blind and cannot recognize what is evil and what is good, and therefore we are becoming lawless societies that turn our blind eye to evil and punishes the victims.

    Yep. Terrorism isn’t only hijacking planes and flying them onto the Twin Towers. These are communicational hitmen, this systematic, pervasive, targeted harassment is another form of terror by pathologically sociopathic ideologues who must silent, curtail and whitewash any news and info that puts their ideological comrades into a bad light. Pure, 100% Goebbelsian acts on terror.

    As articles go, that one is quite skillfully deceptive, with so many little twists and tweaks to the story that it’s difficult to know what’s fact and what’s opinion.

    It’s a like someone fishing; she plays out a little slack, then tightens the line a bit more, always drawing the unsuspecting reader closer to her ideological net, ready to haul them out to flap and die, with her nonsense she’s been pushing for all along, that the problem lies with “the anti-refugee movement, not the refugees themselves.”

    You can clearly see how the UK Rotherham child abuse scandal happened and how Sweden has become the rape capital of the world – bar one country – you simply attack those who report Muslim sex assaults – as racists.

    In Sweden when a 10 year old was raped by a migrant boy on the school playground – the concerned parents were called ‘racists’. There were several migrant boys [from the migrant flow], recently introduced into the school – again in a small town – who were pestering the girls and though the girls reported it, nothing was done – until one of the girls was raped – and the headmistress’ complete indifference caused the whole thing to blow up in town.

    To blame Donald Trump – is like a cheap trick the Left pull out of a hat every time something goes wrong with Islam!! Basically the people are to blame.

    ::

    Under pressure – after the German New Year’s Eve assault – and a mass sex assault on young girls at a music festival in Sweden – the Swedish police finally released a report – citing that Muslim men really don’t know what they are doing when the rape Swedish women and girls. As Muslim men insist their women are covered head to toe – and more and more in burqas – it’s these men – the Swedish police say – who don’t understand the significance of attacking women outside of their faith for sex!!

    And the police suggested it might also be the way women dress. The Left are taking us back at least 50 years!

    ::

    After Cologne attack on New Year’s Eve – under Merkel’s direction all those men were released – free to attack again. And I’m sure Michelle Goldberg and the Slate would agree.

    They are not exactly placing these migrants – around Obama’s kids or Hillary’s grand-babies – they dumping them in small villages and towns across Europe and America [this is the new thing] – and it’s causing a lot of problems.

    ::

    One story in Norway or Denmark – a 12 yr old girl was walking home from school – and it’s a way the kids walked forever – a short cut – but local officials put a migrant shelter along the route. When she walked passed the center – a couple of the migrant men or teens followed her. One of the locals was sitting in his car and saw this – and out of precaution decided to drive up and see what was going on – when he arrived he saw the migrants knocking her and pulling at her clothes. But when they saw him they ran off. And the good man drove the girl home.

    This girl did not have a chance!

    If the migrants had been successful – you would get the Michelle Goldbergs and the Slate journals – accusing her parents – in fact any witnesses – of trying to stir up social strife. Remember the women victims of the NYE Cologne sex assaults were also called racists!!

    The Left simply don’t see rape by Muslim men as being as bad as by western men. A Swedish politician finally said that the other day!! There you have it!!

    I read the ‘top comments’ after the article, and the main point seems to be ‘rape happens in every community and has nothing to do with islam’. These people are incapable of actually reading the koran or noticing what islamic societies do.

    The less than *gold* woman is working for the wild beast. Anyone who can do what she did, has a heart taken over by satan, a conscience burned beyond help. What comes out of the mouth is what is in the heart (Jesus told us this) and she has shown exactly what is in hers.

    People like this woman, who was raking the poor woman and her little child over the coals…essentially raping the child again…will not escape punishment.

    islam is from the devil. The devil is full of rage and anger as his time is so very short. He is using islam and the *left* and people like this *reporter* and those who favor moslims over what is right, and just, and truthful, to bring the world of humankind to the greatest time of trouble ever seen by any of mankind.

    Jesus told us that there would be “great tribulation.” He said one of the things that would happen would be that evil would increase and His disciples would be persecuted. He also said that these days of trouble would have to be “cut short” for anyone to continue living.

    We cannot change this woman. Her heart is blackened by satan and her wish to elevate herself over even what is right, and to use whomever…even a poor little child and her mom…to make a name for herself.
    But she, herself, will soon be on trial for her very life. As will all those who worship satan and his evil beast.

So I don’t think it is wrong to say “karma has everyone’s address” and wonder what will happen to Goldberg for her totally unprofessional demeanor as a reporter. I am not wishing her evil.

        You’re quite correct. It is Pamela Gellers response that is sane, compassionate. In the face of such horrors Ms. Goldberg’s actions are despicable. All over the world Jewish communities are being targeted and terrorized by Islamic criminals, yet Ms. Goldberg cannot make the moral stretch to identify even slightly with a brutalized child. Instead she deems it expedient to twist and contort facts and shill for Hillary. I get it, but the moral bankruptcy is difficult to process at times.

    ISLAM VS ADULTERY
    24: 3. The adulterer marries not but an adulteress or a Mushrikah and the adulteress none marries her except an adulterer or a Muskrik [and that means that the man who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan or idolatress) or a prostitute, then surely he is either an adulterer, or a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater, etc.) And the woman who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater) or an adulterer, then she is either a prostitute or a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan, or idolatress, etc.)]. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (of Islâmic Monotheism).
    24: 26. Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad statements (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women), such (good people) are innocent of (each and every) bad statement which they say, for them is Forgiveness, and Rizqun Karîm (generous provision i.e.Paradise).
    24: 21. O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahshâ’ [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.)], and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islâm, etc.)]………….
    25: 68. And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allâh, nor kill such life as Allâh has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.
    60: 12. O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give you the Bai’â (pledge), that they will not associate anything in worship with Allâh, that they will not steal, that they will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood (i.e. by making illegal children belonging to their husbands), and that they will not disobey you in any Ma’rûf (Islâmic Monotheism and all that which Islâm ordains) then accept their Bai’â (pledge), and ask Allâh to forgive them, Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
    16: 90. Verily, Allâh enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and worshipping none but Allâh Alone – Islâmic Monotheism) and Al-Ihsân [i.e. to be patient in performing your duties to Allâh, totally for Allâh’s sake and in accordance with the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet SAW in a perfect manner], and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that Allâh has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of help, etc.): and forbids Al-Fahshâ’ (i.e all evil deeds, e.g. illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right, etc.), and Al-Munkar (i.e all that is prohibited by Islâmic law: polytheism of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take heed.
    6: 151. Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty – We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Fawâhish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islâmic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand.
    42: 37. And those who avoid the greater sins, and Al-Fawâhish (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and when they are angry, they forgive
    53: 32. Those who avoid great sins and Al-Fawâhish (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) except the small faults, verily, your Lord is of vast forgiveness…………….
    70: 29. And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts) .
    30. Except with their wives and the (women slaves and captives) whom their right hands possess, for (then) they are not to be blamed,
    31. But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers.
    60:12 O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give you the Bai’â (pledge), that they will not associate anything in worship with Allâh, that they will not steal, that they will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood (i.e. by making illegal children belonging to their husbands), and that they will not disobey you in any Ma’rûf (Islâmic Monotheism and all that which Islâm ordains) then accept their Bai’â (pledge), and ask Allâh to forgive them, Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 89 :: Hadith 320
    Not to join anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an accusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds.
    Muslim :: Book 17 : Hadith 4238
    Ubida b. as-Samit repnrted: I was one of those headmen who swore allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) that we will not associate anything with Allah, and will not commit adultery, and will not steal, and will not kill any soul which Allah has forbidden, but with justice nor plunder, nor disobey (Allah and His Apostle), then Paradise (will be the reward) in case we do these (acts) ; and if we commit any outrage(bad, violence) (and that goes unpunished in the world), it is Allah Who would decide about it. Ibn Rumh said: Its judgment lies with Allah.
    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 104 ,105,109
    Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah observed: The fornicator who fornicates is not a believer so long as he commits it and no thief who steals is a believer as long as he commits theft, and no drunkard who drinks wine is a believer as long as he drinks it. ‘Abdul-Malik b. Abi Bakr’ narrated this on the authority of Abu Bakr b. Abdur-Rahman b. Harith and then said: Abu Huraira made this addition: No plunderer[looter, robbery] who plunders a valuable thing that attracts the attention of people is a believer so long as he commits this act.
    Malik :: Book 55 : Hadith 55.1.2
    Muslim :: Book 17 : Hadith 4235 ,37
    ‘Ubida b. as-Samit reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) took (a pledge) from us as he took from the women that we will not associate anything with Allah and we will not steal, and we will not commit adultery, and we will not kill our children, and we will not bring calumny upon one another. And he who amongst you fulfils (this pledge), his reward rests with Allah, and he upon whom amongst you is imposed the prescribed punishment and that is carried out, that is his expiation (for that sin), and he whose (sins) were covered by Allah, his matter rests with Allah. He may punish him if He likes or may forgive him if He so likes.

      The vicious sham wrote:

      ISLAM VS ADULTERY
      24: 3. The adulterer marries not but an adulteress or a Mushrikah and the adulteress none marries her except an adulterer or a Muskrik
      ………………………….

      This story has nothing to do with adultery–instead, it has to do with Muslims raping Infidels in Jihad, which is perfectly Halal. The foul “Prophet” himself did this many times. In fact, he sneered at his thug followers when they *didn’t* rape their captives.

      More:

      24: 26. Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad statements (or bad men for bad women).
      ………………………….

      Does sham consider Islamic exhortations to rape Infidels “bad statements”, or “good statements”? One guess…

      More:

      24: 21. O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahshâ’ [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.)], and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islâm, etc.)]………….
      ………………………….

      But raping the “filthy Infidels” is *not* “illegal sexual intercourse”, as sham well knows.

      More:

      25: 68. And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allâh, nor kill such life as Allâh has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.
      ………………………….

      And who “associates other gods with Allah”, as Muslims see it? Why, that would be Christians. As such, they can be abused, raped, and murdered. I don’t know the faith of this little girl’s family–if any–but they are considered Christian by dint of being non-Muslims living in a Christian land. Hence, she could be raped by sham’s pious coreligionists on just this basis.

      More:

      60: 12. O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give you the Bai’â (pledge), that they will not associate anything in worship with Allâh…
      ………………………….

      Again, sham is emphasizing that non-Muslims are considered beyond the pale by his vicious coreligionists.

      More:

      6: 151. Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him
      ………………………….

      And he’s reemphasizing it yet again…

      More:

      70: 29. And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts) .
      30. Except with their wives and the (women slaves and captives) whom their right hands possess, for (then) they are not to be blamed,
      ………………………….

      And here the vile sham makes it clear that Muslims can be considered “chaste” if they have sex with up to four wives–including little girls–and *their sex slaves*. The above is from the Qur’an itself.

      In other words, he just confirmed that Muslims raping this little girl were acting perfectly Islamically. *Ugh*.

    Biblical God Orders The Rape of Women
    KJV Translation

    Isaiah 13:16

    Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

    Zechariah 14:2

    For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

    RSV Translation

    Isaiah 13:16

    Their infants will be dashed in pieces
    before their eyes;
    their houses will be plundered
    and their wives ravished.

    Zechariah 14:2

    For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

    New American Standard Bible Translation

    Isaiah 13:16

    16Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces
    Before their eyes;
    Their houses will be plundered
    And their wives ravished.

    Zechariah 14:2

    2For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

    Amplified Bible Translation

    Isaiah 13:16

    Their infants also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered and their wives ravished.

    Zechariah 14:2

    For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

    ew International Reader’s Version Translation

    Isaiah 13:16

    16Their babies will be smashed to pieces
    right in front of their eyes.
    Their houses will be robbed.
    Their wives will be raped.

    Zechariah 14:2

    2The Lord will gather all of the nations together. They will fight against Jerusalem. They’ll capture the city. Its houses will be robbed. Its women will be raped. Half of the people will be taken away as prisoners. But the rest of them won’t be taken.

    Also, for those of our readers who do not know, the word “ravished” means to rape.

    Bible commentator John Gill says…

    Verse 16. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes,…. Upon the ground, or against the wall, as was foretold should be, Psalm 137:8 and in way of retaliation for what they did to the Jews, 2 Chronicles 36:17 and this was to be done “before their eyes,” in the sight of the inhabitants, which must make it the more distressing and afflicting; and, as Kimchi observes, this phrase is to be applied to the following clauses:

    their houses shall be spoiled; plundered of the substance, wealth, and riches in them, by the Persian soldiers:

    and their wives ravished; by the same, and both before their eyes, and after that slain, in like manner as they had ravished the women in Zion, Lamentations 5:11. (John Gill’s Exposition to the Bible, Commentary on Isaiah 13:16, Source)

    Matthew Henry states…

    dash the children to pieces, and ravish the wives. Jusque datum sceleri–Wickedness shall have free course, Isaiah 13:16. They had thus dealt with God’s people (Lamentations 5:11), and now they shall be paid in their own coin, Revelation 13:10. It was particularly foretold (Psalms 137:9) that the little ones of Babylon should be dashed against the stones. How cruel soever and unjust those were that did it, God was righteous who suffered it to be done, and to be done before their eyes, to their greater terror and vexation. It was just also that the houses which they had filled with the spoil of Israel should be spoiled and plundered. What is got by rapine is often lost in the same manner. (Matthew Henry Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible, Commentary on Isaiah 13:16, Source)

    The city shall be taken by the Romans, who have nations at command; the houses shall be rifled, and all the riches of them taken away, by the enemy; and, to gratify an insatiable lust of uncleanness as well as avarice, the women shall be ravished, as if victory were a license to the worst of villanies, jusque datum sceleri–and crimes were sanctioned by law. One-half of the city shall then be carried into captivity, to be sold or enslaved, and shall not be able to help itself, such is the destruction that shall be made in the great and terrible day of the Lord. (Matthew Henry Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible, Commentary on Zecharia 14:2, Source)

    So basically the rape of the women is justified because their women were raped back in Zion. So this is revenge and is justifiable according to the Bible. This is unlike Islam which would only hold the rapist accountable for his deeds:

    • Covadonga says

      Aug 4, 2016 at 6:31 pm

      Though raised as a Christian, I have been an atheist opposed to religion for decades now, since the age of twelve.

      Nevertheless, I know enough of the Bible to condemn your misinterpretation here of the Hebrew prophets as tripe at best, and as a really foul libel against the Jews and against Judeo-Christian civilization at worst, when it is made in the present context of a discussion of actual, present-day, religiously-inspired rapes committed by Jihadi Muslims.

      All the statements of the prophets are just that: prophetic statements. They are referring to acts that are claimed will take place, or that have already taken place.

      Note that none of the statements command the reader to commit rape or any other type of violence. Nor is there any statement that the violence will be, or has been committed, by Jews or by other Bible-believers.

      This is in sharp contrast to the Qur’an and to the Islamic legal code of Sharia based on it, both of which explicitly command the Muslim believer to commit violence, including sexual violence, against unbelieving women and other unbelievers.

      Also, Jews and Christians only claim the Bible to be the work of men inspired by their God. So even if there were to be some verse somewhere that could be interpreted as condoning or encouraging attacks on others, that interpretation could be faulty, or the author of the book in question could be called into question for making an error.

      This differs completely from the claims that Muslim scholars make concerning the Qur’an. They say that their book, whose name means, literally, “recitation”, is an exact transcript of readings the Angel Gabriel (Jibril, in Arabic) gave for Muhammad from a divine book that has existed in heaven since the beginning of time.

      So there is no way to back out of the Muslim commands to kill, enslave, and rape the infidel without becoming an apostate from Islam, which apostasy, by the same authority, carries a death penalty itself.

      But when the historical context those portions of the Bible are concerned with is considered, the verses you quoted above are particularly poorly chosen for establishing your thesis that the “Biblical God orders the rape of women”.

      That historical context is the following:

      After the destruction of the northern Jewish kingdom of Israel, ci. 722 BCE, by the forces of the Assyrian empire, the Jews of that realm were killed or carried away into slavery, and disappeared from history. They became known as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel.

      The Assyrians tried unsuccessfully to conquer the southern Jewish kingdom of Judah some years later. This attempt was capped by a failed siege of Judah’s capital Jerusalem in 701 BCE.

      The Babylonian empire, which was the successor state of the Assyrian empire, conquered Judah ci. 597 BCE. The First Temple was destroyed and the leading families of Judah were exiled to Babylon. This began the infamous Babylonian Captivity of the Jews.

      Cyrus the Great, Shahanshah (lit. “King of Kings”) of Persia, allowed the Jews to start returning, and to begin building the Second Temple. He then renegged, but the founder of the next Persian dynasty, Darius, soon ratified the earlier permission.

      All of your Biblical quotes above lament the suffering visited upon the Jewish people at the hands of the Assyrians or Babylonians, or describe a punishment of the Assyrians at the hands of the Babylonians, or describe a (possibly future) punishment (to be) meted out to the Babylonians at the hands of the Persians or, as one of your secondary sources less plausibly declares, the Romans.

      Again, even if the violence against the Babylonians (or Assyrians) is interpreted by the prophets as divine retribution for the suffering they or their ancestors caused to the Jews, there is no hint in the biblical verses you quoted of incitement to commit violence, or that Jews, or any other readers of the Bible, would be the ones carrying the violence out.

      just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God],
      speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. In which
      there are some things that are difficult to understand,
      which the untaught and unstable [who have fallen into error] twist and misinterpret,
      just as they do the rest of the Scriptures,
      to their own destruction.

    I do not believe the bible, but I believe Christians follow Christ (That’s why they are called “Christians,”)who said none of these things nor anything like them. These quotes are from the old testament which no longer is followed by Christians. It is quite the reverse with Muslims. Anything written in the Koran at any time is to be followed by Muslims. Rape, pillage, murder, you name it, it’s in their book and is as true to them today as when it was written.

    The West has prospered under the Judaeo-Christian ethics. Even unbelievers here in the West have followed these ancient principles. Suddenly these principles are being replaced by the Law of the Jungle.

    Anyone who has become curious about Islam and has looked into it recognizes the fact that their religion is firmly rooted in another millennia.

    I am more concerned with the Loeb’s and the Goldberg’s and those who have abandoned the principles of a culture that practiced the “Golden Rule” over barbarism. Granted they have been indoctrinated by the religion of Liberalism but it just might be more than that.

    How much monetary income for the city, county or state is derived from the placement of these refugees? I would think it is quite profitable. If an anglo or a black citizen perpetrated this crime there would be justice delivered. Follow the money.

  26. Laurence says

    Aug 4, 2016 at 1:21 pm

    This is nothing to do with religion, or refugees, or immigration, or race. This is to do with a young boy aparrently doing unspeakable things to a young girl. There is a lot unanswered here, and lost amongst the raving. Where were the children’s parents at the time of the incident? Have Social Services/CHild Protection been informed? If that have, what action are they taking? If not, why not? If the boy actually did what is alleged, where did he learn it? Have his parents been interviewed by the police, and if not why not? There is supposed to be a video. Have the police seen it? If not, why not? We are told the girl’s mother is now scared of living next door to the accused. She’s frightened of a 7-year-old? This statement, like several others, simply doesn’t hold water. If the allegation is true, then it needs to be investigated by the proper authorities, who shold be allowed to do their job in peace. Otherwise, we are in danger of it simply becoming another racist rant by the gutter press and other victims will find themselves ignored – or will avoid reporting – because the case has been hijacked.

    • Kay says

      Aug 5, 2016 at 1:53 am

      Laurence,
      Have you listened to the eye-witness testimony or read Pamela Geller’s timeline?
      You ask a lot of questions that are already answered.
      Children do things they have been shown or taught in some manner; these particularly heinous things were done to the small girl and seem imitations of the types of sexual assaults we read about perpetrated in Europe by Muslim immigrants there. It is actually more ludicrous to avoid seeing a pattern.
      I would be frightened if people were throwing things at my house . . .
      There isn’t any racism here. There’s concern for a young victim. There’s frustration with media non-reporting.
      Victims are being ignored in the world . . . but not because people are concerned or speaking up or questioning the press or the government.

    Slate magazine on Sunday published “If You Want to Live Here, You Need to Live by the Rules Here,” a 5,000-plus word exposition of the Muslim migrant rape case in Twin Falls, Idaho. Author Michelle Goldberg subtitles her piece: “A sexual assault case involving refugee children in Idaho…”
    ……………………

    *Appalling*. This makes it sound as though the “refugee children” were the *victims*, rather than the rapists.

    Just unconscionable.

    Michelle Goldberg missed her vocation.

    Had she been born about seventy five years earlier
    and resided in Nazi occupied Europe she could
    have joined the “Judenrat”

    The Judenrat provided Jewish collaborators to
    the SS and thus enjoyed a privilege position.

    They rounded up other Jews to be handed over
    to the SS and thus to be exterminated.

    Part of the Judenrat “rewards” was that they
    were usually the last Jews to murdered by
    their Nazi employers.
