During one recent night, four young Muslim migrants from Morocco appeared out of the darkness and surrounded a 30-year-old woman in northern Spain. “Let’s see how we destroy that beautiful face,” they cried, before punching her several times in the face, wounding and ultimately hospitalizing her.
According to the report, the young woman was returning home alone and observed that she was being followed by several young people from whom she tried to distance herself to get to her home. After blocking her way and beating her, the four assailants fled without stealing any of the personal belongings that she carried from her.
By both their words (“let’s…destroy that beautiful face”) and deeds (including not robbing her) theirs was a hate crime, pure and simple.
Perhaps what’s most interesting about this story is that hating and/or being envious of someone because they have a “beautiful face”—and attacking them for it—fits a well-documented pattern. One can offer many examples, but to demonstrate consistency and continuity, let us focus on one that deals with the same peoples, Moroccans and Spaniards—from over 1,300 years ago.
While discussing relations between the Berbers of Morocco and the Christians of Spain before the former invaded and conquered that European peninsula, Muslim historian Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Maqqari (b. 1578), offered the following:
Whenever some of the scattered tribes of Berbers inhabiting along the northern coast of Africa happened to approach the sea shore, the fears and consternation of the Greeks [i.e., Spaniards] would increase, they would fly in all directions for fear of the threatened invasion, and their dread of the Berbers waxed so greatly…. [In response] the Berbers…hated and envied them the more.
This would seem to be an accurate description of how those four Moroccans felt when the “pretty white girl” tried to avoid them.
Al-Maqqari continues that, due to this, “even a long time afterwards a Berber could scarcely be found who did not most cordially hate [a Spaniard]….” This is an understatement: After the Berbers and their Arab leaders—in a word, Muslims—invaded Spain in 711 and conquered it, their “cordial hate” manifested itself in atrocity after atrocity (including turning Cordoba into the Muslim world’s slave emporium with Spanish and other European women) over the course of centuries, until Spain finally expelled Islam in the sixteenth century.
Of course, now that Muslims have been welcomed into Western Europe with open arms, the sadistic rape of European women has soared. In Sweden alone, rapes have increased by 1,472 percent since that nation welcomed Islam.
At any rate, al-Maqqari’s main point—that Spanish/European aversion to the savage North Africans and their “threatened invasions” prompted the latter to “hate and envy them the more”—has, it would seem, been another one of those lesser-known or spoken factors behind Muslim hostility for Europe, past and present.
Were I to play “psychologist,” I might opine that it hints at something of an inferiority complex, a gnawing envy that compels one to “avenge” himself on those whom he thinks have a (rightful?) aversion to him—as those four Moroccan men recently did to that “beautiful face[d]” Spanish woman, and as hordes of Moroccans did 1,300 years earlier.
All of this is exacerbated by the little-known and lamentable fact that not a few people from North Africa and the Middle East—indeed, not a few people from all around the non-Western world—harbor racist tendencies; that is, they see the world through a hierarchy of skin color.
Again, although one can offer several examples, let us stay consistent with our present theme and pattern. Less than two weeks after the attack in northern Spain, according to a November 8, 2021 report, another Moroccan migrant just across the border in neighboring France was arrested for screaming “racist insults” at and apparently trying to murder a group of black people with a knife.
Nor is this phenomenon limited to Islam; one need only look to India for the starkest example of non-white racism. Based on that nation’s caste system, those who are fairer are instinctively and openly treated as “superior”; those who are darker are instinctively and openly treated as “inferior.” It’s just how things go and everyone accepts it.
From here, one begins to understand the dilemma: if a brown-skinned person believes it is right and proper to look down upon a black-skinned person, this same brown-skinned racist will naturally feel looked down upon when surrounded by people fairer than him—irrespective of how they actually see and treat him. This, it would seem, engenders anger and resentment, or in al-Maqqari’s apt words, “hate and envy.”
Add to that the already tribalistic doctrines of Islam—which is all about “us vs. them”—and one can begin to see why millions of Muslims are simply incapable of assimilating in the West.
Well…(sighs). First and foremost, situations like these just breaks my heart 💔 especially as a woman. Then, I remind myself pray to the Heavenly Father because Jesus said, ‘He’ll never leave us…, nor His promises are slack.’ When situations like these happens, I really want justice to prevail. To the Muslim men who have committed atrocities in their host countries, I really hope and seek that once caught, placed on trial and convicted the Criminal Justice System place castrations upon them [not chemically-induced but physical]. Last, the wickedness that we see in the world is proof of God’s Word. The more rotten the world becomes, e.g., Islamic doctrine, the more my faith strengthens and deepens in God’s Word.
Secondly I, myself as a woman of color, Afro-American and skin complexion as the same of a Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar 🍫. On skin color the stupidity just takes my breath away and leaves me speechless. Well…those who perpetuate the skin color gradient are envious of others who can outshine them.
Thank you QWERTY24.
Gods word is a light for my path.
The basic problem is the assumption that somehow the golden rule is part of Islamic culture- a false assumption made by practically every politician, every media outlet, and quite possibly church as well, and this allows the Muslim much freeway, as he will use this sense of compassion to assert himself and drive the Islamic inertia further.
Africans were enslaved in the millions, males castrated and/or turned into janisseries. Women became part of a harem or sold into prostitution.A great many simply died in the process- unknown by most historians who rarely bothered to look more deeply.
What the west is facing is a decline in the birthrate- no European country has a birthrate above 2, which means terminal cancer for those cultures. Afghanistan (Taliban administration), has a birthrate of about 4.3. The U.S., and Australia have birthrates of 1.7.
The EU does not care one iota about the bible- it has fined Poland (above photo) one million euros per day for no compliance- putting Polish pro-Catholic constitution in front European union hegemony. Poland survived both the Nazis and Communists, to repeal its laws the Soviets made, and only to face European antagonism.
Islam is worse, far worse than the Nazis and Communists.
I suspect from the beginning humans have separated into two groups; one to advance evil and the other to oppose it. Those groups go by countless names but they seem always the same. A modern example are Democrats and Muslims, they are opposites on treatment of homosexuals and women, but are still allies. Obama set the stage for Iranians to get a nuclear bomb which they would use to kill perhaps millions, and Biden left large amounts of military equipment for Taliban to put to use killing people. Their root similarity is death to humans Democrats currently mainly do it by murder of unborn babies (those in the Bible who sacrificed babies are probably directly related to modern Democrats). The bad groups share the primary goal of killing people because God of the Bible is inside of us and that is who they are really trying to eradicate.
I have experienced this first hand in the workplace. Envy and jealousy over things I have worked for all my life. If they cant immediately have what I have, then they band together and contrive to take it away through lies, deceit, and treachery. In other words, economic and social jihad in the work place.
Agree but India caste system has mostly nothing to do with skin colour and assuming a person is upper caste based on skin colour in India is mostly today phenomenon and both lower and upper caste have identical skin colour
I bet massive incest is on a grand scale
Will this nightmare ever end?
I admire Mr. Ibrahim’s scholarship and his persistent struggle against the forces of darkness. But time and again, I have noticed his almost visceral hatred against India and the Hindus. I do not claim that we are entirely without faults. Like every other community, we have our share of problems. So do the Christians. But at times, I doubt as to what Mr. Ibrahim is fighting against, Islam or heathendom as a whole.
