Den frenetisk produktive Bruce Bawer, mannen bak sukessboken
”While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within”, tar
Hege Storhaug i forsvar mot den tilsynelatende endeløse rekken av bakvaskelser, løgn, atter løgn
og nedverdigende karakteristikker som lobbes mot henne fra nær sagt alle
mediekanaler om dagen.
As Europe’s Islamization proceeds apace, the gap widens between
ordinary folks’ growing recognition of the outrages that are going on
all around them and the movers and shakers’ cynical insistence on
pretending that everything’s just hunky-dory.
Case in point: the responses to Covered. Uncovered.,
a new book on hijab. Its author, Hege Storhaug of Norway’s Human Rights
Service, is this country’s answer to Ayaan Hirsi Ali – a gutsy advocate
of freedom who doesn’t mince words about the illiberal conditions
(especially for women and girls) in Europe’s Muslim communities. In Covered. Uncovered.
she explains why the increasing visibility in these parts of hijab – a
potent symbol of totalitarianism and sexual oppression – should not be
taken lightly.
The result? A full-scale media assault – marked not by honest
engagement with Storhaug’s arguments but by lies, more lies, and sheer
personal abuse. Norway’s Dagbladet alone has published pieces by Amin Asskali of the Arabic Student Association, who accused the “woman-hating” Storhaug of “creating intolerance”; by Iffit Qureshi, who labeled her a “totalitarian…out to crush religious freedom”; and by Dagbladet opinion editor (and, ahem, former head of the Communist group Red Youth) Marte Michelet,
whose litany of charges against Storhaug included “burkaphobia,” an
“irrational fear of Islam,” “paranoid delusions,” and “hateful
contempt” for Muslim girls.
