One of the greatest strengths of the English Language, one of the things that makes it the World’s most poetic languages, is that it has always been ready to adopt words from other languages that help to better express meanings.
Considering the way things are going these days and that what happens in Europe is seemingly always in this age a predictor of what will eventually happen here in America, I think we should all get ahead of the curve and begin the rapid assimilation of the following word:
TAHARRUSH
From The London Daily Mail, Corey Charlton reporting, we learn it’s meaning:
Police fear a gang-rape phenomenon known as ‘taharrush gamea’ in the Arab world and seen in attacks on women across German cities at the New Year has now spread to Europe.
The name of the practice translates to ‘collective harassment’ and is carried out by large groups of men who sexually assault lone women, either by groping, or in some instances, raping them.
The men first surround their victim in circles. Some then sexually assault her, while others not directly involved watch or divert outsiders’ attention to what is occurring.
Sometimes the terrified victim – in a state of shock and unable to respond – is also robbed during the ordeal.
And the attack usually goes unpunished because the large number of perpetrators and chaos of the attack means authorities are unable to identify those involved.
There remains debate about what defines ‘taharrush’ – some still insist it is a reference to flirting – though scholars argue its definition changed after the attacks seen in Egypt from 2011 onwards.
German authorities have stated this was the phenomenon seen in Cologne city centre on New Year, when hundreds of women reported they were sexually assaulted.
The practice is only carried out in public and almost always at demonstrations or large public gatherings where the attackers find safety in numbers and disorder.
As you can see, the full descriptor term is ‘taharrush gamea’, but we Americans like to abbreviate a lot, so ‘taharrush’ it is.
Besides ‘taharrush gamea’ sounds like a toe fungus, whereas taharrush sounds like pretty much what it is: a Terror Rush by Muslim savages bent on raping women and intimidating non-Muslims.
Of course, we will see this practice of ‘The Religion Of Peace’ start to happen here [if it hasn’t already], across The Fruited Plain, soon, as more and more ‘refugees’ enter through the front gates of Fortress [ha!] America.
Say it: ‘Taharrush’…’Taharrush’…’Taharrush’…’Taharrush’…
Could This Be One Explanation?
