Anger over Polish magazine's ‘Islamic rape of Europe’ cover story

A Polish magazine has caused outrage with a front cover that depicts a blonde woman clad in the European Union flag screaming as she is being groped by dark-skinned men.

The cover carries a dramatic headline saying, ‘Islamic Rape of Europe’.

The right-wing weekly named wSieci said it was focusing on “what the media and the Brussels elite are hiding from the citizens of Europe.”

An editorial argued a culture of “tolerance and political correctness” led to the New Year’s Eve in the German city of Cologne and other northern European town centres.

The picture invited both praise and criticism on social media — while many drew comparison with Nazi propaganda.

This edition also carries other controversial articles like ‘Does Europe Want to Commit Suicide?’ and ‘The Hell of Europe’.

In the cover article, Aleksandra Rybinska writes, “The people of old Europe after the events of New Year’s Eve in Cologne painfully realised the problems arising from the massive influx of immigrants.”

The article said Islam and the West have been at war “over the last 14 centuries” and the world is witnessing a “clash of two civilisations in the countries of old Europe.”
