With all of the muslim apologist on this site I am amazed not one has come forward and said the women probably deserved it. I find it interesting that some folks on this site keep going to bat time and time again for muslims only to be proved wrong by each new muslim atrocity. The reckoning is coming.

No, Sweden is the rape capitol of the west because the Muslim immigrants are raping Swedish women. Your statistic gathering explanation aside, Muslims rape women, it's just what they do.
Actually, if you look at rape stats in general, by ethnicity, white women are always getting raped by dark skinned people, relatively speaking. As opposed to the other way around. White men tend to rape colored women at a minuscule rate. So, based on these numbers, if you are a white guy that supports non white immigration into your country. You are supporting the raping of women.
If Sharia courts in Britain can subjugate women in their own marriages, the rape figures need to be addressed. This Leiden University study is disturbing and should raise questions about cultural integration and whether Western countries should allow unlimited immigration from cultures who have NO desire to integrate.
Sharia courts in Britain lock women into 'marital captivity', study says.
I am not anti Muslim in any fashion, but I am staunchly anti-Sharia. Why should Western culture be subjected to pre-enlightenment laws and cultural standards which are 14 centuries behind?
Legal and court proceedings Syariah Court in Malacca, Malaysia. Sharia judicial proceedings have significant differences from other legal traditions, including those in both common law and civil law. Sharia courts traditionally do not rely on lawyers; plaintiffs and defendants represent themselves. Trials are conducted solely by the judge, and there is no jury system. There is no pre-trial discovery process, and no cross-examination of witnesses. Unlike common law, judges' verdicts do not set binding precedents, under the principle of stare decisis, and unlike civil law, sharia is left to the interpretation in each case and has no formally codified universal statutes. The rules of evidence in sharia courts also maintain a distinctive custom of prioritizing oral testimony. Witnesses, in a sharia court system, must be faithful, that is Muslim. Male Muslim witnesses are deemed more reliable than female Muslim witnesses, and non-Muslim witnesses considered unreliable and receive no priority in a sharia court. In civil cases, a Muslim woman witness is considered half the worth and reliability than a Muslim man witness. In criminal cases, women witnesses are unacceptable in stricter, traditional interpretations of sharia, such as those found in Hanbali madhhab
Well Rumi a very famous Sufi poet has said when you ignore the nafs they come up in perversion. Meaning the more repressive you are to human nature without care and thought the more bizare the perversions. Like the Catholic priest situation. You can't ignore sexual desire with only rules it also takes serious enlightened practice.

I don't understand what you are saying, and I don't want to put words in your mouth.
What I am hearing is that it is normal and natural for men have to have sexual desires, and if they are prevented from meeting those desires by rules or laws that they will become perverted.
Please tell me that is not what you said or meant.

So long as this campaign you speak of is directed at everyone, then no it is not bigoted.
But if its directed specifically at Muslims, with the perception that white people don't usually commit rape... Then yes, its extremely bigoted, as well as deluded and naive.

It is directed to the new influx of residents (Muslims) because they are
not aware that it is a crime ...'white people' who rape already know
it is a crime ... but do so anyway.
I would imagine any Christian immigrants would not consider raping as it is not part of their religion/culture?
Therefor neither bigoted deluded or naïve
Rape prevalence among women in the U.S. (the percentage of women who experienced rape at least once in their lifetime so far) is in the range of 15–20%

Thank you for explaining for me. I kept feeling that you were saying something different from what I was hearing.
I guess because it is a subject I am so close to, I am a bit more sensitive than most.
I can't wrap my head around the mind set that finds the sexual abuse of children as excusable, yet I hear it almost every day.
I am sure you have heard about the Bacha bazi (dancing boy), the movie The Kite Runner brought the practice briefly to the forefront, but it was just another oddity of culture that is already hated, so it was passed off as no big deal.
When the problem was brought up to the authorities and the Afghan Police, the response was “If they don’t [use] the [anuses] of those boys, what should they [use] the [vaginas] of their own grandmothers?" [alternate phrasing used to keep with the TOCs]
When the authorities turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the cries of the children, what are we really fighting for? What have we become that we can allow excuses for this kind of evil?

No rape in Sharia law?
Woman have freedoms in Saudi Arabia?
You gotta be joking. Or at least sarcastic.
You do know people can be raped in the home? By their spouse right.
You do know rape by family happens all the time, especially in Muslim nations, with Sharia law.
Just because it's not reported does not mean it's not happening. Out of sight out of mind is a sad excuse to ignore that rape happens everywhere, especially under Sharia law.

We act like the USA is this bastion of awesomeness, yet 15-20% of all American women will be raped at least once in their lifetime. That's pretty shocking considering we'd like to think in America we know rape is wrong.

Apparently we might need some classes to about how rape is wrong, considering the stats.
It's always easier to point the finger at someone else that's worse to justify and ignore your own behavior. Alcoholics and drug addicts to it all the time, example: "Well, I'm not THAT bad of a drinker...I mean sure I have a drink as soon as I get up, but I'm not like that homeless bum under the bridge. I don't have a real problem or anything..." Dude, you're drinking just to get moving in the morning, you most certainly have a problem.
So, rape is a problem worldwide and even in our own 1st world country. It's little surprise to me that poorly educated refugees coming from bombed out and war torn anarchy *might* need a little more help than us Americans.
We'd rather look at everyone else than take a glance in the mirror at ourselves, especially in regards to Muslim refugees, they seem to be the hot ticket item to dog-pile lately.

This is disgusting, rape is one of the worst crimes in my opinion and anyone with this ideology needs to stay the hell away from my country.

I would agree with you except to amend that these Muslims know very well it is a crime yet do so anyway.

Indeed it is a global evil that permeates every society and every culture, and has been so for years. Yet it still exists.
It boggles the mind that almost everyone will tell you know that its is wrong to rape an adult, and almost everyone says they would want to hand the rapist of a child, or infant, from the nearest tree. Yet it happens almost every second of every day, all around the world.
There has to be something inherently wrong with our very souls that this has been going on from the beginning of time, and occurs in every nook and cranny of our planet.
Maybe we are truly fooling ourselves. Maybe there is no natural goodness in us. The only goodness we seem to have is that which we have learned, nurtured and shared.
Maybe we truly are the spawn of an evil creator.
Wikipedia Qur'an There is no equivalent term for ‘rape’ in the Qur'an. Likewise, there is not a single verse in the Qur'an which even remotely discourages forced sex. In contrast, there are several verses in this book which give the green light to rape and other sexual crimes against women. Surah an-Nisa discusses lawful and forbidden women for pious Muslims. Before we delve into the particular verse, it should be noted that it is not easy to understand what is being suggested using the verse alone. Therefore, relying on authoritative Tafsirs (Qur'an interpretations) and Sahih (authentic) Hadiths associated with it, are necessary to get the exact picture.
verse 4:24 was revealed to Muhammad. It was to encourage his fighters, who were reluctant, to have sexual contacts with female captives even while their husbands were alive as prisoners of war. This is made clear when we read: "Some of the Companions of the apostle of Allah were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers." The Abu Dawud hadith is confirmed by the two Sahih collections, namely Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
