Why are so few people talking about the eruption of sexual violence
and harassment in Europe's cities? No one in a position of power
wants to admit that the problem is linked to the arrival of several
million migrants-most of them young men-from Muslim-majority
countries. In Prey, the best-selling author of Infidel, Ayaan Hirsi
Ali, presents startling statistics, criminal cases and personal
testimony. Among these facts: In 2014, sexual violence in Western
Europe surged following a period of stability. In 2018 Germany,
"offences against sexual self-determination" rose 36 percent from
their 2014 rate; nearly two-fifths of the suspects were non-German.
In Austria in 2017, asylum-seekers were suspects in 11 percent of
all reported rapes and sexual harassment cases, despite making up
less than 1 percent of the total population. This violence isn't a
figment of alt-right propaganda, Hirsi Ali insists, even if
neo-Nazis exaggerate it. It's a real problem that Europe-and the
world-cannot continue to ignore. She explains why so many young
Muslim men who arrive in Europe engage in sexual harassment and
violence, tracing the roots of sexual violence in the Muslim world
from institutionalized polygamy to the lack of legal and religious
protections for women. A refugee herself, Hirsi Ali is not against
immigration. As a child in Somalia, she suffered female genital
mutilation; as a young girl in Saudi Arabia, she was made to feel
acutely aware of her own vulnerability. Immigration, she argues,
requires integration and assimilation. She wants Europeans to
reform their broken system-and for Americans to learn from European
mistakes. If this doesn't happen, the calls to exclude new Muslim
migrants from Western countries will only grow louder. Deeply
researched and featuring fresh and often shocking revelations, Prey
uncovers a sexual assault and harassment crisis in Europe that is
turning the clock on women's rights much further back than the
#MeToo movement is advancing it.
