Apparently Sweden is the rape capitol of the world....or number 2 after a place in South Africa.....
The Swedes and the Clash of Civilizations Roger s Rules
The indispensable Gatestone Institute reports on some very disturbing news out of Sweden.
In 1975, the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the former homogeneous Sweden into a multicultural country. Forty years later the dramatic consequences of this experiment emerge: violent crime has increased by 300%.
If one looks at the number of rapes, however, the increase is even worse. In 1975, 421 rapes were reported to the police; in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase of 1,472%.
That makes Sweden the rape capital of the West, second globally to only Lesotho in Southern Africa in the number of rapes it suffers. Politically correct academics in the U.S. are sounding the alarm bells about a “rape culture” on U.S. campuses. In fact, the groves of academe across the fruited plain are among the safest, most coddled environments in the world. If the “mattress girl” at Columbia wants to find a hostile environment for women, she need look no further than Sweden.
What happened? Samuel Huntington, whose book The Clash of Civilizations (1996) looks ever more prescient, warned that Islam and the West were on a collision course. What we have come to call “multiculturalism” was a recipe not for comity and progressive enlightenment but for increasing conflict. That the huge influx of Somalis, Iraqis, and Syrians into Sweden has led to this expanding rape culture would not have surprised him.
For their part, Swedish bureaucrats prefer to explain the expanding rape culture by denying it. The Gatestone Institute cites some of their excuses (none rise to the level of an explanation):
▪ Swedes have become more prone to report crime.
▪ The law has been changed so that more sexual offenses are now classified as rape.
▪ Swedish men cannot handle increased equality between the sexes and react with violence against women (perhaps the most fanciful excuse).
Note that conspicuous by its absence is any mention of who it is who is committing the rapes. Gatestone quotes Michael Hess, a local politician from the Sweden Democrat Party: “When will you journalists realize that it is deeply rooted in Islam’s culture to rape and brutalize women who refuse to comply with Islamic teachings. There is a strong connection between rapes in Sweden and the number of immigrants from MENA-countries [Middle East and North Africa].”
And from the fact that a lot of the rape occurring is gang rape it just shows....the gun control polices of Sweden are very effective.....none of these women, when faced with one or more aggressive, strong males intent on rape....is armed. Hence....they are more easily victimized by stronger, more aggressive and more numerous opponents.......
So, this is another point....when guns are outlawed....criminals don't need them to perpetuate their violence against others....they pick the weak, the isolated and attack in groups....while the victims are often alone and defenseless...
So......put a check in the win column for Sweden and gun control........not one of the 6,620 women had a gun at the time they were raped or gang raped.......yay gun control.......
Keeping in mind that studies of the subject have shown that guns are the most effective way to prevent a stranger rape....and they are pretty good at aqcuaintance rape as well.......
