Hat tip to Gallia Watch
Gallia Watch is an anti-Sharia blog that reports on developments in France. The article below (with a French-translation linked) tells the story of a 14-year-old runaway girl who was kidnapped by a gang of young males who held her, gang-raped her, and forcibly prostituted her during her captivity. A word of caution here; the writer places much emphasis on the fact that the victim was a white French girl while the defendants were obviously immigrants. It is a fact that many European countries are experiencing disproportionate cases of rapes by foreigners including Norway, a country that was recently in the news. That, however, is not the point that I want to underline in this article. What is really outrageous is the bending over backwards to downplay the horror of what these defendants did. (They have been convicted.) Even the French feminists turned their backs on the victim. I will let the readers ask why.

And we think liberals in the US are intellectually bankrupt. The French make us look like pikers.

The term "Lascar" goes back at least to the mid 19th century. You will find it in the Sherlock Holmes story "The Man With The Twisted Lip." It referred, in that story, to a man from India living in London. He could have been Hindu or Muslim, or if Dravidian, probably happy to leave Hindu oppression behind.
Now, with the technical detail cleared up, what's "liberal" about any of this? No free market ideology I know of allows for robbery by force as a legitimate business practice. Laissez-faire doesn't go that far. Further, there appears to be no intention on the part of the girl to enter into economic activity.
What we have here is a lot of psychiatric gobbledegook, which answers to no "political" label. It is not conservative, liberal, moderate, socialist... it might be deemed fascist.
While it may be true that race, ethnicity, or politicized religion had something to do with this, given that the only French source offering sharp and pointed criticism didn't highlight anything of the kind, the breathless overtones must be written off as Gary's eager desire to blame Muslims and European sensitivities about offending Muslims.
The crime committed by the psychiatrist stands alone, without any need for further insinuations.
It is true that many cultures and sub-cultures, not a few of them European, and others definitely Arabic, consider that any female not under the immediate guardianship of a father, brother, or husband is fair game, and taking advantage is innocent sport. Norwegians used to act accordingly all over Europe some centuries back!
The proper answer is to make if forcefully clear that rape isn't treated that way any more. I would have said, a fifteen year sentence, with possibility (not guarantee) of parole after five years. IF there is solid evidence that the young men involved have recognized that it isn't and won't ever be an acceptable lark, maybe they could be released. But initially, they should have the fifteen years hanging over them.
The families wail? They always do. As Eugene Kane, one of the columnists of African descent on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel remarked, its not in a mother's nature to believe her darling boy could have committed rape. (The young men in the case that inspired the comment all get very long sentences.)
Siarlys must have a few drops of French blood in him.
Welsh, English, Dutch, maybe Scottish, Cherokee, probably African, some undetermined mix of Russian/Jewish/Polish, but no French that I can trace.
Did you surmise a drop of French blood because I agree with the harsh critique you linked to? Or is it, quite the contrary, because I took the critique at face value and declined to follow the hopeful speculation an American from Orange County tacked onto it?
