Germany's current leaders, led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, stand accused of "betraying their own people to a future of bloodshed and committing national suicide" after they tacitly conspired to hide the rape jihad being waged by Muslim migrants on their womenfolk.

Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, said these leaders "will go down in history with Hitler as the destroyers of Germany," WND reported.

Geller pointed this out after the German newspaper Die Welt reported that regional authorities had treated the rape of German women by North African Muslim migrants as a "long-guarded state secret" until very recently.

Members of various political parties agreed that revealing the crimes to the German public would tilt public opinion against the refugees, according to Die Welt.

Moreover, the authorities did not want to provoke xenophobia among the people which would help the cause of the political opposition AFD, a right-wing party that opposes immigration, the news outlet said.

However, the German government's silence was shattered last week when a committee of North Rhine-Westphalia's parliament debated the numerous migrant attacks in Cologne on New Year's Eve for the first time.

Ralf Jager, the region's interior minister, admitted that Muslim migrants carried out the Cologne assaults, while the police chief said "North African-Arab men" ripped the clothing from women's bodies and "penetrated" them.

Geller, author of "Stop the Islamization of America," accused German leaders of cowardice and malevolence for their failed attempt to prevent the damaging information from reaching the public.

"They are afraid of being called racists and think the German people need to be reeducated to be more welcoming of 'the other,'" she said

She explained what she means by "the other."

"The leftist government and media establishment constantly scold and admonish citizens of Western countries that they need to be more welcoming of non-Westerners.," she said. "Leftist analysts claim that Europeans and Americans who oppose the migrant influx are motivated by fear and hatred of people of a different race – 'the other' – when in reality we're motivated by a desire to preserve free, safe and stable societies."

Meanwhile, Andrew McCarthy wrote in the National Review that the attacks in Cologne are "what happens" when "the West's fantasy Islam collides with the reality of an imported critical mass of unassimilated – and defiantly unassimilable – Muslims."

"That was just Ground Zero of the New Year's Eve rape jihad in Germany," he said.

McCarthy noted the secrecy regarding the violence that was maintained. "First there was no news; then, a few disturbing hints of gropings and robberies by gangs of 'Middle Eastern or North African' men. Now, we know it was a mass atrocity – the only remaining question being: How massive?" he said.

"Upward of a thousand men, overwhelmingly Muslim, executed a coordinated series of attacks on an obvious target of opportunity: street celebrations in the major cities of a reviled Western state, where they were certain to find throngs of young women and a police presence grossly inadequate to provide security – certainly not against a critical mass of Islamic supremacists."
