The Facts about Sweden and Islam

We know that rape is a horrific crime, one that is often covered up by victim shame and by collusion by the authorities. American feminists have been leading the charge against rape culture. 

We understand that rape is notoriously underreported and that statistics about rape are unreliable. We are told that any woman who declares herself to have been the victim of rape or sexual abuse must be heard. And her testimony must be taken at face value. The opponents of rape are so committed to their cause that they are willing to deprived anyone accused of it of due process of law. 

Now we know that such is not the case if the rape happens in Sweden and if the perpetrator is a Muslim refugee. Evidence has suggested that Sweden has become the rape capital of the Western world. At least, it was understood to be such until Donald Trump—in a bizarre misstatement—suggested that the mass of Muslim immigrants admitted into Sweden were causing serious problems. Just as they do in France, Germany and Belgium… among others. Whatever Trump meant, anyone who believes that Muslim immigration is not a problem in Europe should go back on his meds.

Whatever the facts about rape in Sweden, it is also true that a Swede can be prosecuted for accusing an immigrant of rape. You see, he is committing Islamophobia and Xenophobia if he accuses a Muslim immigrant of rape. Remember a month or so ago when a half-dozen Afghans raped a teenage boy in Sweden. Remember when the authorities refused to expel them… because Afghanistan was too dangerous. The Swedes live in a feminist bubble.

Anyway, Swedish authorities, mortified for having exposed so many Swedish women to rape and for having undermined national Swedish unity are adopting the politically correct approach: they are repressing the information. And then they are accusing Trump, among others, of playing fast and loose with the facts.

The Gatestone Institute reported:

Since 2000, there has only been one research report on immigrant crime. It was done in 2006 by Ann-Christine Hjelm from Karlstads University. It emerged that in 2002, 85% of those sentenced to at least two years in prison for rape in 2002 were foreign born or second-generation immigrants.

A 1996 report by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention reached the conclusion that immigrants from North Africa (Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia) were 23 times as likely to commit rape as Swedish men. The figures for men from Iraq, Bulgaria and Romania were, respectively, 20, 18 and 18. Men from the rest of Africa were 16 times more prone to commit rape; and men from Iran, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, 10 times as prone as Swedish men.

A new trend reached Sweden with full force over the past few decades: gang rape — virtually unknown before in Swedish criminal history. The number of gang rapes increased spectacularly between 1995 and 2006. Since then no studies of them have been undertaken.

David Goldman added:

Sweden not only stands by while large number of its women are raped, but outlaws public discussion of the causes. Michael Hess, a Social-Democratic population, was condemned by a Swedish court under a law forbidding denigration of ethnic groups. for writing in 2014, “There is a strong connection between rapes in Sweden and the number of immigrants from MENA-countries [Middle East and North Africa].”

In the alternative universe of Western leftists Sweden does not have a rape problem. And Islam does not mistreat women.

Forgetting about Sweden for a moment, ask yourself why people believe that Muslims subject women to horrendous mistreatment. You might think of the predations of ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria. One recalls that there was no ISIS until Barack Obama declared victory and withdrew from Iraq, but surely the rapes and sexual slavery suffered by Yazidi women suggests that purist Muslims do not treat women with very much respect.

One understands that in some Muslim countries, a woman who reports a rape can be jailed for having sex outside of marriage. And one understands that in Egypt, the incidences of the sexual harassment and molestation of women on the street are uncountable. Remember Lara Logan, raped in Tahrir Square, Cairo by a dozen men while no one could help her. And let’s not forget that Shariah law allows wife beating and honor killings.

Rape and the sexual abuse of women are endemic to Muslim culture. Only those with ideological blinders refuse to see the problem—because they are fighting the good culture war against white privilege.

Even if you admit that rape statistics are slightly unreliable and even if you refuse to accept the reality of the laws about sexual behavior in Muslim countries, I would ask you to consider this: how much have Muslims contributed to civilization, recently? That is, within the last thousand years or so.

You might ask  yourself what Western Judeo-Christian civilization has contributed or you may ask yourself what the world’s long Jewish state has accomplished, and you will list a string of great achievements. With Islam you will not find very many, if any. After all, the attacks on Israel, have been incited by the simple fact that the Israelis had succeeded when the Palestinians had failed.

Islam is undergoing a civilizational crisis of major proportions. Now, certain weak-kneed Europeans want to embrace the crisis, even if it destroys their own civilization.

Whatever the incidence of rape and the crime statistics, we do know, from the German government that of the 1,100,000 Muslim refugees admitted by Mutter Merkel, a mere 34,000 have gainful employment. That is a very, very large unemployment rate. Even if you do not believe that German refugee centers are not promoting rape culture, you do understand that such a large number of out-of-work and unemployable migrants means more crime.

Those facts are unimpeachable. And they suggest, as I have remarked, that the refugees do not consider themselves to be beggars, but the vanguard of an advancing army. They do not want to contribute. They do not know how to contribute. They are not going to learn how to contribute. They are going to convert Europe to Islam.

The issue is roiling the continent today. In Germany Chancellor Merkel’s political fortunes have been crashing. In the Netherlands Geert Wilders is running a political campaign on the platform of de-Islamizing his country. For the record Wilders was recently convicted of speaking ill of Muslims—in a nation that prides itself on its free speech. And in France Marine Le Pen’s presidential campaign, based on anti-Muslim rhetoric, looks to be seriously competitive. Even the Socialist president Francois Hollande has declared that France has a serious Muslim problem.

Such is the real world we live in. Yet, if you read the major American media you would think that our biggest problem is a Russian invasion. Remember when a group of Algerian refugees, having been expelled from Finland arrived in Murmansk, Russia. Remember what happened when said refugees when to a dance hall and started molesting the local women. In case you forgot, Russian men pulled the Algerians out into the parking lot and sent most of them to the ER.

One recalls that in feminist Sweden, where female political leaders don headscarves to meet their masters in Tehran, boys in public school are taught that they must pee sitting down… because it’s sexist to pee standing up.

In the alternative universe, Islam is not a problem: Islamophobia is. (See this season’s version of Homeland— a catastrophic artistic failure.)

In the alternative universe rape is not rape if it is committed by Muslim refugees. It only counts as rape when it is committed by white male fraternity brothers in American universities. There, it does not even matter whether it happened or not. It’s the thought that counts.

In the alternative universe, we can ignore the threat of radical Islam and fight to the death to repel Vladimir Putin and of course Donald Trump.
