Ayman Mazyek
In a special interview with Deutsche Welle, Central Council of Muslims in Germany Chairman Ayman Mazyek blamed the mass rapes of German women on “drunken,” “right-wing” Germans. This in spite of the incontrovertible, abundant proof that it was a calculated, purposeful attack by mobs of Muslim rapists.
It is sometimes difficult to wonder how in the face of such clear evidence that somebody could deny the reality of what happened in Cologne and across Europe. However, it isn’t the first time and will not be the last time that this has happened.
Via Deutsche Welle:
Deutsche Welle: Given what happened in Cologne on New Year’s Eve , were you surprised by the violence of these reactions, or were you expecting something of the kind?
Ayman Mazyek: To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be worse than after the attacks in Paris. I think there were two reasons for the violence of the reaction, which came in part from the right-wing mob on the Internet and social media. There was a release of pent-up hatred and anger over the refugee debate. Secondly, it’s also the result of the ineptitude of certain media outlets and politicians, who instead of reacting calmly have let themselves to be driven by the social media mob.

DW: What do you personally have to say about the fact that, according to the police, the vast majority of the attackers in Cologne were from predominantly Muslim countries?
AM: We have be careful not to play the blame game here. I think it’s a good idea to examine, on a sociological level, the sort of patriarchal images that exist in Muslim societies. But it is not acceptable that many people were exploiting the issue, even on the night itself, to kick off the scapegoat discussion by raising the question of the attackers’ origins – and perhaps also to distract a bit from their own failures. If there was an attack on an asylum center by a self-declared defender of the Christian West, we wouldn’t even think of examining Christian beliefs as a possible motive.
The Muslim faith is irrelevant to these drunken men who do such disgraceful things. Not only are these things strictly forbidden under criminal law, they are also a mortal sin in Islam. I would ask people to differentiate accordingly. So, people are welcome to ask sociological questions about false ideas about women, or about violence against women in parts of the Muslim world, but please don’t use the faith itself as a backdrop. That is extremely dangerous. We mustn’t let ourselves be drawn into this collective guilt discussion.
Two additional points:
1)The rape of non-Muslims is not a “mortal sin” in Islam (the concept of “mortal sin” does not even exist in Islam). Rather, Islam allows rape by divine permission in the example of Muhammad.
2) Notice how he never blames Muslims for anything, but attempts to blame anybody else, including the victims. He is silent on any condemnation of Muslim rape violence in spite of the clear evidence to the contrary.
Mr. Mazyek’s refusal to address such a clear, obvious problem in the Muslim community is because he is part of it. As it is written in many places in Islamic sacred tradition, his silence is his consent to this and the abundant sexual violence that Islam lauds and its followers propagate:
