Muslim Rape Epidemic in Sweden and Norway - Authorities Look the Other Way
(Note: Updates to this post here: The Norwegian Government - Covering Up Immigrant Rapes and here: Rapes: Nothing to do with Islam?)Numbers released in January 2005 indicate a sharp rise in the number of rape charges in Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city:
Thomas Anderberg, responsible for statistics at the Malmö Police, says there was a doubling of the number of reported rapes by ambush in 2004, following what was already a decade of steadily increasing numbers of sexual crimes. - I think that’s great news, says Anna Gustafsson, head of the Domestic Violence Unit at the Malmö Police. She suggests that the increase is due to the fact that women who otherwise wouldn’t press charges for rape now choose to contact the police.
In other words, Gustafsson claims that we are dealing with a “technical” increase, not a real one. However, national statistics reveal that reported rapes against children have almost doubled in Sweden during the past ten years:
According to Swedish Radio on Tuesday, statistics from Sweden’s National Council for Crime Prevention show that the number of reported rapes against children is on the rise. The figures have nearly doubled in the last ten years: 467 rapes against children under the age of 15 were reported in 2004 compared with 258 in 1995. Legal proceedings continue this week in a case involving a 13 year old girl from Motala who was said to have been subjected to a group rape by four men. (Note: These four men were Kurdish Muslims, who raped the girl for hours and even took photos of doing so)
The number of rape charges per capita in Malmö is 5 – 6 times that of Copenhagen, Denmark. Copenhagen is a larger city, but the percentage of immigrants is much lower. And it’s not just the rape statistics that reveal a scary increase in Malmö or Sweden. Virtually every kind of violent crime is on the rise. Robberies have increased with 50 % in Malmö only during the fall of 2004. Threats against witnesses in Swedish court cases have quadrupled between 2000 and 2003. During the past few decades, massive immigration has changed the face of Sweden’s major cities, as well as challenged the viability of the welfare state. In 1970 Sweden had the fourth highest GDP per capita among developed countries with income about 6% above the OECD average. By 1997 it was at fifteenth place with an average GDP per capita 14% below average. Malmö has a heavy concentration of Muslim immigrants in particular. According to some estimates, it will be a Muslim majority city in no more then 10 years. Crime is rampant in the growing ghettos:
Becirov runs the Islamic Center of Malmö, on the outskirts of Sweden's third-largest city. Some immigrant neighborhoods in the city have (official) unemployment rates exceeding 50 percent. Swedish authorities have failed to lift up the area, and seem to be giving the Islamic Center of Malmö a great deal of leeway in attempting to do so. An article that appeared in 2003 noted that "a few" of the 6-to 10-year-old girls were wearing headscarves. On a visit in January 2005, fully 80 percent were covered in class--only a handful were not. In a fit of absent-mindedness, Sweden has suddenly become as heavily populated by minorities as any country in Europe. The percentage of foreign-born is roughly equivalent to the highest percentage of immigrants the United States ever had in its history (on the eve of World War I). Rosengård appears to be all-immigrant. The public schools have virtually no ethnically Swedish children. There are stories--familiar in other parts of Europe where immigrants from the Muslim world have recently settled--of students harassing Jewish teachers and defacing textbooks that treat Jewish themes. Crime is high.
Is it unfair and “racist” to suggest a link between the influx of Muslim immigrants and the growing number of rapes? Not if we compare with the situation in neighboring Denmark, where this trend has been evident for years:
Criminologist: immigrants are rape champions
If one leading expert is to be believed, the sharp rise in the number of rapes in this over the last 5 years is largely attributable to a group of unemployed and alienated immigrants. 'Over the last 5-10 years there has an increasing tendency to marginalise and alienate immigrants,' says Professor Flemming Balvig, a criminologist at Copenhagen University. 'As a result, many second generation immigrants have reacted against this through various types of criminal activity, including rape.'
Muslim rape concern
Alarmed at last week's police statistics, which revealed that in 68% of all rapes committed this year the perpetrator was from an ethnic minority, leading Muslim organisations have now formed an alliance to fight the ever-growing problem of young second and third-generation immigrants involved in rape cases against young Danish girls.
As Robert Spencer has demonstrated, rape can indeed be linked to Islamic teachings of Jihad, and even to the example of Muhammad himself, his Sunna. Above all, it is connected to Islamic notions of the role of women in society, and their behaviour in the public sphere. An Islamic Mufti in Copenhagen sparked a political outcry after publicly declaring that women who refuse to wear headscarves are "asking for rape." Apparently, he isn’t the only Muslim in Europe to think this way:
The German journalist Udo Ulfkotte told in a recent interview that in Holland, you can now see examples of young, unveiled Moroccan women with a so-called "smiley". It means that the girl gets one side of her face cut up from mouth to ear, serving as a warning to other Muslim girls who should refuse to wear the veil. In the Muslim suburb of Courneuve, France, 77 per cent of the veiled women carry veils reportedly because of fear of being harassed or molested by Islamic moral patrols.
Hijab, the Islamic veil, is thus not ”just a piece of cloth”. It serves as a demarcation line between proper, submissive Muslim women and whores, un-Islamic women who deserve no respect and are asking for rape. The veil should more properly be viewed as the uniform of a Totalitarian movement, and a signal to attack those outside the movement. Judged in the light of the Mufti who said that women who don’t wear it are asking for rape, how on earth can the veil be said to be about ”choice”? The freedom to choose not to be raped if you dress in a normal fashion in your own country? Is that what freedom is about in Europe in 2005?
Even though Sweden, unlike Denmark, has almost no public debate about immigration, frustration is very much present underneath the surface. 75 % of Swedes think that many people in their country “dislike” Muslims, more than in any other European nation surveyed. Even in Holland, which recently witnessed violent clashes with Muslims after the murder of Islam-critic Theo van Gogh, the rate is lower than in Sweden. But you’re not supposed to talk about such issues in Sweden. That would be “racist”:
Swedish laws prohibiting "hate speech" against racial minorities have been vigorously enforced. There have, for example, been a number of gang-rapes of Swedish women by Muslim immigrants. But Swedes must be careful what they say about them. On May 25, neo-Nazi Bjorn Bjorkqvist was convicted and sentenced to two months in prison for writing, "I don’t think I am alone in feeling sick when reading about how Swedish girls are raped by immigrant hordes." ["Jag tror inte jag är ensam om att må dåligt när jag läser om hur svenska tjejer har våldtagits av invandrarhorder"]
All in all, we must say that there is strong circumstantial evidence indicating that the rise in rape charges in the city of Malmö could very well be real, which puts the Malmö Police assertion that this is “great news” in a rather curious light. And the problem is not just limited to Sweden. It exists in Norway, too:
Rape charges in the capital are spiraling upwards, 40 percent higher from 1999 to 2000 and up 13 percent so far this year. Police Inspector Gunnar Larsen of Oslo's Vice, Robbery and Violent crime division says the statistics are surprising - the rising number of rape cases and the link to ethnic background are both clear trends. But Larsen does not want to speculate on the reasons behind the worrying developments. While 65 percent of those charged with rape are classed as coming from a non-western background, this segment makes up only 14.3 percent of Oslo's population. Norwegian women were the victims in 80 percent of the cases, with 20 percent being women of foreign background.
Europe: Tolerating Intolerance
An incredibly revealing article that tells us all we need to know about the multiculturalist fetish in Europe and some parts of North America, not to mention the need for change within Islam. Apparently, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet reported that 65 percent of rapes of Norwegian women were performed by "non-Western" immigrants – a category that, in Norway, consists mostly of Muslims. The article quoted a professor of social anthropology at the University of Oslo (note: her name is Unni Wikan) as saying that "Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for these rapes" because Muslim men found their manner of dress provocative. The professor's conclusion was not that Muslim men living in the West needed to adjust to Western norms, but the exact opposite: "Norwegian women must realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves to it."
In January 2005, Norwegian media reported that 2004 saw the highest number or rape charges ever recorded in the capital city of Oslo. Strangely enough, there was now no mentioning of how immigrants were grossly overrepresented in rape cases. Why not? Unless there has been a sudden and unexplained drop in the number of immigrants raping Norwegian women between 2001 and 2004, which is unlikely, the statistics should be at least as staggering in 2005 as they were before. If they are not revealed, it can only mean that “somebody” didn’t like the numbers presented in 2001, and decided to bury them. That “somebody” must be a person at the very top level in the police, maybe even in the government. If so, that is disquieting. What is even more disquieting is that the media are equally silent about this. How come no journalists are digging into the material? And where are all the professional Feminists, in a Scandinavian nation brimming with them?
The conclusion one may draw from this is that the authorities in Sweden and Norway know about, or should know about, a disturbing amount of Muslim immigrant rapes of native Scandinavian women, yet choose not to make this information known to the public. Perhaps it would be just too politically incorrect to reveal the negative effects of decades of naïve immigration policies. Perhaps it would also destroy too many multicultural pipe dreams among the intellectual elites, who have built their current careers and reputations on advocating how culturally and economically enriching this new population mix would be. So in the end, the safety of young Scandinavian women is sacrificed in order to keep the glossy image of a multicultural society intact. It is a chilling demonstration of an Eurabian continent that now appears to care more about not upsetting relations with its immigrant population than about protecting its own citizens.

fjordman, welcome! And I bet there's one more thing your authorities aren't saying much about. Honor killings against the Muslim women. They may not have much insight to it, but they aren't saying anything about what the DO know.
best, keep it up.

Great first post. I've added you to my blogroll, under "saints". You always wanted to be a saint, right? ;-) Taking on subjects like this one, where there are real victims, and the MSM and government won't touch it, is what the blogverse is all about.
This subject highlights the way Western governments and media downplay atrocities hoping to appease the barbarians at the gate. Somehow, despite the wonderful success of appeasement throughout history /sarc, it's not working.
--Beagle, now with puppy
Good job mate, keep up the good work, this is so horrible. you guys need a guy like the dude in death wish who went out and killed the rapists and murderers.
Well done sir! The more truth about the RoP is published the sooner the civilized world will come to it's senses.
Bob with one O
Good introduction post.
And upsetting to read that european women have no value, therefore expendable to sacrifice.
I wonder what percentage of the european woman make up the workforce.
It will come to a conclusion that sooner or later the women will be forced out of public and the workforce.
I guess the tax burden will just be increased on the men left working. In order to keep the "royalty" that have entered their countries on welfare.
Y'all need some good ol' western vigilantism. :)

You sure did start out with well done post. I've seen your links on LGF for almost a year now, and you have a wonderful eye for important detail.
Thank you for illuminating a serious problem, not only on this violence of rape, but the "turning a blind eye" to the cause. Very much like our lack of will to "profile" when the statistics make sense...they certaionly can rate you thru the roof on insurance on sound statistical analysis, medical, life, auot, but we are afraid of using the same methods, proven over hundreds of years, to help in sure cases as these...
Be careful the islmo-fascist get rather bloody if the truth comes out.
Similar statistics occur in the U.S. rape statistics. Blacks, while making up only 12.5% of the population, account for 50 - 60% of the rapes, murders, and armed robberies in the U.S. I was robbed by a couple of black kids a week ago and went looking for statistics related to crime and race in the U.S. I found a couple good sites, but it takes a long time to wade through the white-supremacist dreck that predominates searches involving race and crime. Sadly, I didn't bookamark the good sites that I did find and now unable to find them again, but I'll look after class to see if I can provide some hard numbers.
Great start to your blog!!
I have an idea how to bring this rape problem the publicity it deserves.
Encourage Norwegian and Swedish women to wear fuslim headscarves in protest of de fuslim rapists obviously being driven to criminal rape-lust by the exposed beautiful blond hair of the Nordic and Scandanavian women.
Just an idea. Congratulations on your new blog from an LGF'er. T_IT_UP
Great entry - just came to your blog by chance. The political correctness will make some of the European countries to face shariah rule faster than the other. Please be invited to join the http://www.faithfreedom.org/forces.
Looks like the beginnings of a great blog. Your first entry is well written, well documented and supported by links.....that work!!
Congratulations, keep up the good work!!
Welcome!! We need more voices of sanity such as yours in Scandinavia! Previous poster's suggestion was good: somehow get on MSM and demand that "good" Scandinavian women should now wear hijabs and stay at home, otherwise it's their own fault if they get raped. They were "asking for it." If that doesn't rouse the feminists from their pc torpor, nothing will.
Hey Fjordman,
I'm from Detroit, so I'm a Fjord Man too. Ha, ha, sorry for weak attempt at humor. Important article depicting bizarre government approach in Sweden, thanks! Are there any traditional or conservative folks in Scandenavia or Sweeden who are for hanging these pigs, or has everyone agreed with polit bureau's groupthink. The Left hates diversity, so it pretends that everyone is the same. More muslims are pedefiles, but you must ignore their uniqueness.....and pretend that everything is uniform in conformity. Sound familiar? Also what do you think of the EU Constitution.....I smell big trouble.
Dear Fjordman,
Better be careful like the Iranian bloggers, you might be arrested for hate-speech. Better not say bad things about the EU because if it goes through they may come and get you. Isn't that European history repeating itself? Don't you think that is possible since it has happened so many times?
The reason why America backed away from the left is that we are watching what is happening to Europe and Canada.
Thank you all for many kind words. You will notice I do not, and will not, put up any kind of personal information about myself on this blog. That is unfortunately how Europe is like these days. Perhaps blogs such as this one can make a tiny contribution to changing things.
Too bad Sweden is not a carry nation. It would add a new dimension to the old Clairol(?) tagline "Does she or doesn't she?"
BTW, don't be afraid to make your name-title really big. How about picture of a dog howling at the moon for atmosphere. Really, I wish you the best of success with your new blog.
As a middle aged Swede I've seen the wave coming, growing high during the 80s and 90s, sweeping through or cities like a frightening Tsunami. The situation in Sweden is actually horrible. But worst is our own political agenda (doesn't need any presentation here).
Blatant anti-Americanism and anti-Zionism (sanctioned by the state and media) together with generous aid to both the Palestinian "cause" and to home-grown Jihadis (the so called Cuba Swede, former prisoner of Guantanamo) are as we all know typical signs of decline, of plain dhimmitude.
It's so depressing.
Of course we need to start discuss this subject in day light. But where to start? I really hate this self-censorship!
Lycka till - låt oss hoppas på en större öppenhet!
I have studied Islam and have an Arab son. You have to understand that Islamic writings including the Koran in general give a man clear dominace over women. The Koran subtly but distictly can be and is seen by the culture in Islam as accepting what we (maybe not Sweedes) would think of as pedephelia and more, again, for men.
Of course most Islamic men are law-abiding. However, this cutural background creates a powerkeg in weak men who can feel justified in lashing out at women and children sexually. Islamists will argue against this, but I can show you in the Koran where this attitude can be justified....its in black and white. I have just discribed the whole problem. The answer is that the people of Sweeden must rise up and say we will not stand for it and you have to deport criminals.
PS. Does anyone know of any good blogs critical of the EU Constitution???
redneck liberal, I suspec EurSoc counts as an anti-EU site.

Betraying the rape victims
November 30, 2003
The Sun-Herald
When Crown prosecutor Margaret Cunneen and Superintendent Kim McKay addressed a conference on the prevention of violence against women earlier this year, they didn't expect a hostile response from any of the feminists present.
After all, they had successfully prosecuted a series of gang rape trials in which the young female victims were degraded like animals. Bilal Skaf's historic 55-year jail sentence last year was their doing. McKay was commander of the gang rape task force Sayda and her nurturing of the victims was crucial. On Thursday, in Cunneen's latest prosecution, a jury found two more men, Pakistan-born Muslims whose names have been suppressed by the court, guilty of the violent gang rapes of two teenage girls in Ashfield last year. Through five such trials, Cunneen has cheerfully endured abuse and death threats from the rapists and their families and she has been the rock and warrior for the victims.
So when Cunneen and McKay addressed the legal conference in February they were happy to report the good news about rape prosecutions: that the shame has now shifted to where it ought to be - onto the perpetrator, not the victim. It was a theme that should have been welcome but, instead, a "small but vocal group" in the audience angrily asserted that the gang rape cases were "nothing but racist prosecutions", that Skaf would not have received such a long sentence if he hadn't been Lebanese.

This is how an influential part of Sydney's legal and media circles thinks; many, to their eternal shame, are women, for whom a politically correct stance on multiculturalism is more precious than feminist principles or the safety of young women and girls. It makes them uncomfortable to acknowledge the fact that young Muslim men have been roaming around Sydney gang raping non-Muslim women, or as the rapists like to say, "Aussie pigs" and "sluts" who ask for it. Despite the evidence, they refuse to acknowledge it, and that this same pattern has been occurring in other Western countries, notably France.
There have been attempts to smear as racist, journalists or media outlets which present these facts to the public. In March, the Anti-Discrimination Board published a carefully concocted 123-page smear pamphlet Race For The Headlines, about "moral panic" and "anti-Arab, anti-Muslim" bigotry in the media. It was just one of many attempts by ideologues to diminish the real and lasting suffering of the brave young women who testified in court and ensured that at least some rapists were locked away.
But the social problem behind the rapes hasn't gone away. Whatever makes a subsection of immigrant families in Sydney bring up their sons with such disregard for "Australian" or non-Muslim females remains. In a speech recently, former detective sergeant Tim Priest, the Cabramatta whistleblower, said he saw a pattern of denial about "Middle Eastern crime" similar to that which he experienced about drug crime in Cabramatta. He told of many instances of police "backing down to Middle Eastern thugs" in confrontations in what he calls the "Muslim-dominated areas" of south-western Sydney.
He cited a case in Auburn in 2001 when two uniformed police officers stopped a suspect car and found stolen property. The three occupants of the car threatened to kill the officers, and "f---" their girlfriends. When the police called for backup, so, too, did the thugs on their mobile phones, summoning 60 associates for battle. The response by police chiefs was to order the officers to retreat. And then, later, when the offenders drove to the police station, intimidating staff, damaging property and "virtually holding a suburban police station hostage," again the police did nothing. "By avoiding all confrontations with these thugs the police gave away the streets in many areas of south-western Sydney," Priest said.
In another speech last week for Opposition police spokesman Peter Debnam at Parliament House, Priest proposed a solution to the growing mayhem: zero-tolerance policing, which transformed New York in 1994. He spoke scathingly of academics and criminologists who oppose the model because it conflicts with their "root cause" theory of crime. Priest gets a lot of speaking engagements these days and his book with anthropologist Richard Basham, To Protect And To Serve, is a bestseller. But to the liberal establishment, he is a pariah and they take every opportunity to belittle him.
Of course, shooting the messenger is of no service to the vast bulk of decent, law-abiding Muslims in Sydney, whose own leaders have been vocal in support of harsh sentences for gang rapists.
What is really needed is some way of combating the sorts of twisted attitudes towards women which were neatly summed up by the father of the five brothers convicted most recently for the Ashfield rapes.
A doctor, who gave alibi evidence disregarded by the jury, as good as told a reporter last week the victims asked for it. "What do they expect to happen to them? Girls from Pakistan don't go out at night."

Gang rapists told age, culture no defence (Muslims)
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | March 2, 2004 | Natasha Wallace
Three Pakistani gang rapists who are facing life in jail yesterday begged a judge to be pardoned, citing cultural differences that led to the brutal attack, immaturity on their part and hardship within their families if they were imprisoned.
But Supreme Court Justice Brian Sully said "culture or no culture", a strong message needed to be sent to other young men that such horrific sex crimes against women will not be tolerated in modern society.
Andrew Haesler, for one of the defendants, known as MMK, 17, said his client was immature and had lived in Australia for two years without the "restrictive boundaries" in his home country.
But Justice Sully said the crime could not be passed off as a "youthful indiscretion that has somehow gone wrong".
"Sixteen or not, what he did is absolutely repellent behaviour, and it's adult-type behaviour," he said. "It has to be established once and for all that culture or no culture, wherever he came from, however old you are, this cannot be tolerated in modern society."
Five males, four of whom are brothers, were found guilty last year of nine counts of aggravated sexual assault in company - which carries a maximum life sentence - on two girls, aged 16 and 17, at the brothers' Ashfield family home on July 28, 2002.
The girls were repeatedly raped, threatened with knives and bullets and one was told the other had been killed because she had resisted her attackers. None of the men can be named because the younger brothers, MMK and MRK, 18, were minors at the time. Another man, known as RS, is 25.
Two of the men, known as MSK, 25, and MAK, 23, sobbed openly in court, maintaining their innocence and begging for "another chance".
The brothers are representing themselves because they believe an anti-Muslim conspiracy has prevented a fair hearing. Their father, a practising doctor, told the court they should be pardoned because they "did not know the culture of this country".
Justice Sully said the victims' impact statements had greatly affected him: "I have not heard . . . anything like it . . . something proper needs to be done to get the message out to the adolescents and teenagers."
The men are the first to be convicted of the new offence of aggravated sexual assault in company, which carries a maximum life penalty.
They will be sentenced on March 12.

Battered Westerner Syndrome inflicted by myopic Muslim defenders
Last Thursday, in Sydney, the pack leader of a group of Lebanese Muslim gang-rapists was sentenced to 55 years in jail. I suppose I ought to say "Lebanese-Australian" Muslim gang-rapists, since the accused were Australian citizens. But, identity-wise, the rambunctious young lads considered themselves heavy on the Lebanese, light on the Australian. During their gang rapes, the lucky lady would be told she was about to be "f---ed Leb style" and that she deserved it because she was an "Australian pig."
But, inevitably, it's the heavy sentence that's "controversial." After September 11th, Americans were advised to ask themselves, "Why do they hate us?" Now Australians need to ask themselves, "Why do they rape us?" As Monroe Reimers put it on the letters page of The Sydney Morning Herald:
"As terrible as the crime was, we must not confuse justice with revenge. We need answers. Where has this hatred come from? How have we contributed to it? Perhaps it's time to take a good hard look at the racism by exclusion practiced with such a vengeance by our community and cultural institutions."
Indeed. Many's the time, laboring under the burden of some or other ghastly Ottawa policy, I've thought of pinning some gal down and sodomizing her while 14 of my pals look on and await their turn. But I fear in my case the Monroe Reimers of the world would be rather less eager to search for "root causes." Gang rape as a legitimate expression of the campaign for social justice is a privilege reserved only unto a few.
Mr. Reimers, though, will be happy to know his view is echoed across the hemispheres. Five days before 9/11, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet reported that 65% of the country's rapes were committed by "non-Western" immigrants -- a category which, in Norway, is almost wholly Muslim. A professor at the University of Oslo explained that one reason for the disproportionate Muslim share of the rape market was that in their native lands "rape is scarcely punished" because it is generally believed that "it is women who are responsible for rape."
So Muslim immigrants to Norway should be made aware that things are a little different in Scandinavia? Not at all! Rather, the professor insisted, "Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for these rapes" because their manner of dress would be regarded by Muslim men as inappropriate. "Norwegian women must realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves to it." Or to modify Queen Victoria's wedding-night advice to her daughter: Lie back and think of Yemen.
France? Well, I can't bring you any ethnic rape statistics from the Fifth Republic because the authorities go to great lengths not to keep any. But, even though the phenomenon of immigrant gang rape does not exist, there's already a word for it: the "tournante" -- or "take your turn." Last year, 11 Muslim men were arrested for enjoying a grand old tournante with a 14-year old girl in a cellar.
Denmark? "Three quarters of rapes are carried out by non-Danes," says Peter Skaarup, chairman of the People's Party, a member of the governing coalition.
Well, you get the idea. Whether or not Muslim cultures are more prone to rape is a question we shall explore another day. What's interesting is how easily even this most extreme manifestation of multiculturalism is subsumed within the usual pieties. Norwegian women must learn to be, in a very real sense, less "exclusionary." Lebanese male immigrants, fleeing a war-torn wasteland and finding refuge in a land of peace, freedom and opportunity, are inevitably transformed into gang rapists by Australian racism.
After September 11th, a friend in London said to me she couldn't stand all the America-needs-to-ask-itself stuff because she used to work at a rape crisis centre and she'd heard this blame-the-victim routine a thousand times before. America was asking for it: like those Norwegian women, it was being "provocative." My friend thought the multiculti apologists were treating America as a metaphorical rape victim. But, even so, it comes as a surprise to realize they do exactly the same to actual rape victims. After the O.J. verdict, it was noted by some feminists that "race trumped gender." What we've seen since September 11th is that multiculturalism trumps everything. Its grip on the imagination of the Western elites is unshakeable. Even President Bush, in the month after September 11th, felt obliged to line up a series of photo-ops so he could declare that "Islam is peace" while surrounded by representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an organization which objected, on the grounds of "ethnic and religious stereotyping," to the prosecution of two men in Chicago for the "honour killing" of their female cousin.
On this "Islam is peace" business, Bassam Tibi, a Muslim professor at Goettingen University in Germany, gave a helpful speech a few months back: "Both sides should acknowledge candidly that although they might use identical terms these mean different things to each of them," he said. "The word 'peace,' for example, implies to a Muslim the extension of the Dar al-Islam -- or 'House of Islam' -- to the entire world. This is completely different from the Enlightenment concept of eternal peace that dominates Western thought." Only when the entire world is a Dar al-Islam will it be a Dar a-Salam, or "House of Peace."
On the face of it, that sounds ridiculous. The "Muslim world" -- the arc stretching from North Africa through South Asia -- is economically, militarily, scientifically and artistically irrelevant. But, looked at through the prism of Norwegian rape or French crime, the idea of a Dar al-Islam doesn't sound so ridiculous. The "code of silence" that surrounds rape in tightly knit Muslim families is, so to speak, amplified by the broader "code of silence" surrounding multicultural issues in the West. If all cultures are of equal value, how do you point out any defects?
As I understand it, the benefits of multiculturalism are that the sterile white-bread cultures of Australia, Canada and Britain get some great ethnic restaurants and a Commonwealth Games opening ceremony that lasts until two in the morning. But, in the case of those Muslim ghettoes in Sydney, in Oslo, in Paris, in Copenhagen and in Manchester, multiculturalism means that the worst attributes of Muslim culture -- the subjugation of women -- combine with the worst attributes of Western culture -- licence and self-gratification. Tattoed, pierced Pakistani skinhead gangs swaggering down the streets of Northern England are as much a product of multiculturalism as the turban-wearing Sikh Mountie in the vice-regal escort at Rideau Hall. Yet even in the face of the crudest assaults on its most cherished causes -- women's rights, gay rights -- the political class turns squeamishly away.
Once upon a time we knew what to do. A British district officer, coming upon a scene of suttee, was told by the locals that in Hindu culture it was the custom to cremate a widow on her husband's funeral pyre. He replied that in British culture it was the custom to hang chaps who did that sort of thing. There are many great things about India -- curry, pyjamas, sitars, software engineers -- but suttee was not one of them. What a pity we're no longer capable of being "judgmental" and "discriminating." We're told the old-school imperialists were racists, that they thought of the wogs as inferior. But, if so, they at least considered them capable of improvement. The multiculturalists are just as racist. The only difference is that they think the wogs can never reform: Good heavens, you can't expect a Muslim in Norway not to go about raping the womenfolk! Much better just to get used to it.
As one is always obliged to explain when tiptoeing around this territory, I'm not a racist, only a culturist. I believe Western culture -- rule of law, universal suffrage, etc. -- is preferable to Arab culture: that's why there are millions of Muslims in Scandinavia, and four Scandinavians in Syria. Follow the traffic. I support immigration, but with assimilation. Without it, like a Hindu widow, we're slowly climbing on the funeral pyre of our lost empires. You see it in European foreign policy already: they're scared of their mysterious, swelling, unstoppable Muslim populations.
Islam For All reported the other day that, at present demographic rates, in 20 years' time the majority of Holland's children (the population under 18) will be Muslim. It will be the first Islamic country in western Europe since the loss of Spain. Europe is the colony now.

Racist rapes: Finally the truth comes out
By Miranda Devine
July 14 2002
The Sun-Herald
So now we know the facts, straight from the Supreme Court, that a group of Lebanese Muslim gang rapists from south-western Sydney hunted their victims on the basis of their ethnicity and subjected them to hours of degrading, dehumanising torture. The young women, and girls as young as 14, were "sluts" and "Aussie pigs", the rapists said. So now that some of the perpetrators are in jail, will those people who cried racism and media "sensationalism" hang their heads in shame? Hardly.
The journalists, academics, legal brains and politicians who tried to claim last August that the gang rapes of south-western Sydney were just a run-of-the-mill police blotter story being beaten up by racists, scaremongers and political opportunists don't ever want to acknowledge the truth about that ugly episode in Australian history. They don't want to acknowledge the fear and tension that ran through a part of Sydney they rarely visit and can never understand.
This newspaper was the first to report the story, which had been common knowledge in police and media circles, and it has never censored the race element.
Even last week, with the conviction of two brothers for their part in the gang rape of Miss D, who was 16 when she was held at gunpoint in a Greenacre park, there were media outlets that downplayed the story and air-brushed race from it.
Yet the victims have been crying out for the truth to be told. In court on Friday, one victim gave another a card on which she had written

"Truth is Justice".
In August, when Judge Megan Latham handed out laughably lenient sentences to three men in one gang rape case, which were later more than doubled on appeal, she made a special point of debunking the race link: "There is no evidence before me of any racial element in the commission of these offences," she said. "There is nothing said or done by the offenders which provides the slightest basis for imputing to them some discrimination in terms of the nationality of their victims."
Except that later one of the victims complained her victim impact statement had been "censored" of any "ethnic" references by prosecutors intent on a plea bargain. She was convinced she was raped because of her ethnicity. "You deserve it because you're an Australian," the rapists told her during the five-hour attack.
It's just so inconvenient of the victims to insist on telling the truth.
"I looked in his eyes. I had never seen such indifference," one 18-year-old victim, codenamed Miss C, told the court, remembering one of the 14 men who called her "Aussie pig", gang raped her 25 times over a six-hour period in Bankstown and Chullora, and then turned a hose on her. "I'm going to f*** you Leb style," he said.
Fourteen gang rapists have been convicted, or pleaded guilty, thanks to the courage of seven victims who testified for days in court as their tormentors smirked nearby, the men's families threatened them and defence lawyers suggested they had enjoyed the rapes.
"They're very brave, very strong and very courageous young women," said Salvation Army Major Joyce Harmer, who held the hands of many of the victims through the trials. "They knew this was something they had to do."
There were encouraging signs by the end of the week that some Muslim community leaders were talking of "Muslims accepting responsibility that they may have failed to do things that would have prevented these things from happening", as Amjad Mehboob, chief executive for the Federation of Islamic Councils, told ABC Radio on Friday.
Keysar Trad, vice-president of the Lebanese Muslim Association, said: "It is certainly a disgrace to our community that people who were born to a Muslim family would commit such heinous crimes." But he went on to say it was "rather unfair" that the rapists' ethnicity had been reported "because these boys themselves have completely disaffiliated themselves from their culture or their religion".
Yes, it is unfair that the vast bulk of law-abiding Lebanese Muslim boys and men should be smeared by association. But their temporary discomfort may be necessary so that the powerful social tool of shame is applied to the families and communities that nurtured the rapists, gave them succour and brought them up with such a hatred of Australia's dominant culture and contempt for its women that they think of an 18-year-old girl, dressed for a job interview in her best suit, sitting on a train reading a book, as a slut.
These were racist crimes. They were hate crimes. The rapists chose their victims on the basis of race. That fact is crucial to this story. If the perpetrators had been Anglo-Celtic Australians, the furore would have been enormous. No newspaper would have left out that fact and you can bet the guilt and shame would have been spread far and wide.
Excellent work. Thank you for blogrolling us; I've put you on our blogroll at Gates of Vienna.
Congratulations on your blog!
I'm glad you got a website, you always put up such good information on LGF. Hopefully more pro-American, pro-Israeli conservatives will get power in Europe. Western politicians need to protect the lives and liberty of their people, not the feelings of fascist cult members. Who's to say this won't happen in America? I live in northern New Jersey, a county away from Jersey City, where the Coptic Christian family was brutally murdered. For those of you who don't know, all the evidence suggests it was religiously motivated and committed by Muslims, but the authorities- police, Hudson County prosecutor, say it was a robbery. If the situation was in reverse- Muslims being killed by Christians, you know they wouldn't have a problem with calling it a hate crime! This really scares me.

Greetings from Los Angeles!
That was quite a thorough posting. I learned quite a bit.
However, I wonder if your IKEA meatballs taste better than the ones they server in California.
DP told me of your site well done nice articles, I will be contributing on a regular basis
do not waver
erik
What is happening in your world up north??? Why do you let these barbarians shit all over your house??? Throw them out or chase them away. No one in their right minds would tolerate such behavior from immigrants in their homeland. If they were doing this in China or Japan they would be thrown out of the country!!! And that is being polite. Wake up!! How can you let them walk all over you in your own home???? If your government is stupid, work from the grassroots, get the word out, band together, start to act, and stop taking this nonsense from these animals. We support you!
Garbage cultures breed crime, just like our hip hop thug culture! Can't these people figure out the reason they emigrate cause they trashed out their old country!
I really liked what you wrote. It is good to be aware of it. What makes me so upset is that the system is so soft with the these rapists. When the involved is a child, I think the authorities should investigate the case really well (not to make ANY mistakes)and excuse me for my way of thinking, but they should cut these men's pinuses off. If they don't know how to use, they should not have one. When they do what they did in the case of that 13-year old girl, they messed up her life forever, so why shouldn't we mess up their life forever?
Great article. This story represents just one of the unintended consequences of the Islamization of Europe. Instead of the usual handing out of social niceties, Europeans would be well advised to wake up to the growing threat and deal with it in a more conclusive manner.
Well done - people need to speak out now and nip this in the bud, or there will be hell to pay later, ie civil war in Europe which will make the Intifada look like a teddy bears' picnic.
What happening to the Israelis now will be happening to the Euros soon enough. Wake up!
Israel has to be hard because if she isn't her enemies will fall on her like a pack of wolves. We should be supporting the Jewish state, not the Balestinians.
This is beyond sickening. I suggest that any country with this problem use the following model. In 1948 the Communists dealt with the opium problem by shooting on sight the addicts. Change the rape laws and shoot anyone who rapes a woman
Bra skrevet.
Thats's norwegian and means "well written", in case anyone wondered. More people should speak up against this. But we are so afraid to be politically incorrect that most keep quiet in fear of being labeled as racists. But if one wants to find out who the real racists are, talk at length to a muslim. His views might shock you.
Bravo! This is the first but not last time I will be coming to your site. Here in the U.S. there is a movement underway by the Christian bigots to remove the Ten Commandments from the public square. The Culture war is well underway and the atheist have found a friend in the "Religion of Peace". The strategy is simple, the majority must accept the minority culture. The majority culture also must surrender tradition and religion in order not to "offend" the minorities. Preserve your Borders, Language and Culture.
You wrote: " 75 % of Swedes “dislike” Muslims, more than in any other European country surveyed. Even in Holland, which recently witnessed violent clashes with Muslims after the murder of Islam-critic Theo van Gogh, the rate is lower than in Sweden. "
Not correct, the question in the survey was: Do you think nowadays there is a lot of, a little of, or no disapproval of Muslims living in European society? "
The high rating for Sweden can not be interpreted that swedes are more hostile towards muslims than others, possibly rather that they are more concerned about hostility towards muslims.
There is certainly an abundance of islamophile propaganda and a suppression of anything negative about islam in swedish media that would make such an interpretation reasonable.
BTW, feel free to visit my swedish swedish anti-islamic blog, sadly enough the only one I know of in Sweden.
Otherwise, great post!
Runnymede 1215: I'm not entirely sure I agree with you, but I want the post to be as accurate as possible, so I will change the wording slightly in the direction you suggested. I have seen some other criticism of this post, but in my opinion nothing substantial so far. This is the only change I have made.
Otherwise: Thank you for praise, and I have added you to my blogroll.
Well,well,well now this topic dosn't surprise me.To get things clear, a little history about me.I am a father of a gang rape victim from 2001.She is known as Miss C and she is the one in the Sydney Morning Herald article posted.My daughter was gang raped by 14 Lebanese Muslim pigs in three different locations over a six hour period and she was also sodomised but that couldn't be proved in court.When it went to court the rapists family called my daughter a slut and a lier the whole time showing nothing but hatred towards her.We are still to go through a retrial and appeals against the sentences yet(for something that happened 4 1/2 years ago).Most media were good but its the so called academics that worry me constantly calling us the racists.For a tolerant religion I never see any tolerance.
Anonymous: That's just horrible to hear. I know about the cases in Australia. We see this pattern in most Western nations with Muslim immigrants. That's why I am pretty sure the numbers quoted from Sweden are real, and that the government and the authorities themselves are covering up attacks on their own citizens.
I know it doesn't help much for you or your daughter, but please make sure people get to know what's going on. Have you ever contacted persons like Robert Spencer from the Jihad Watch website? Like you said, there are people who think talking about this is "racist" and want to silence it. They shouldn't be allowed to do so.
The reason they call you a racist for bringing this up is purely psycological. It is in fact, the LEFT WING nuts who are racist: Here is why:
They have told us that EVERYONE, IE all ethnic groups are "THE SAME AS WESTERN EUROPEANS" (IE: everyone is just like a 'white person') Which is untrue...
To admit the Muslims are "NOT THE SAME" as white Euro's would be 'racist' in their silly heads, thus destroying the FANTACY of ethnic equality. So the blatent LIE continues.
The fact that most other ethnic groups see themselves as NON-WHITE anyway, doesnt register with the NEO-RACIST left. They think everyone is a white, blond hair blue eyed person with the same psycological intent, or could be.
The left is NEO-RACIST.
I hope I have explained that properly.
Its sad that you can discuss this only in BLOGS on the internet. George Orwell is spinning in his grave.
Fjordman, you wrote: " Runnymede 1215: I'm not entirely sure I agree with you, but I want the post to be as accurate as possible.. "
I appreciate that, being accurate with the facts is extremely important, the pure and simple truth is probably the most effective way of dealing with the growing threat of islam in Europe.
You can also have a look at FOMI, a new swedish forum against islamization, the only one so far. We need more capable writers there!
Remember in 2002, that French oil tanker that was bombed from a boat in Aiden Yemen? Name was the Limberger I think.
They caught the people who did it and talked to one of them. He said, "Well, of course we'd have liked to have had a US Navy destroyer. But that's ok. They're all infidels.
That's the point that Europe hasn't caught onto and doubtfully ever will. Norweigens, Swedes, French, Germans, with immigrants from Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Turkey, and dozens of other countries, you all share one thing in common.
Muslims, yes, even the 90% of "moderate" Muslims, see you all as nothing but infidels, not quite human, that they just haven't gotten around to killing or converting yet.
I think Mark Steyn put it best. Europe is sleepwalking its way to suicide.
Rape? Please don't take this wrong. But rape is the LEAST of the crimes of Islam. What crime does Islam NOT condone? Gunrunning, murder, arson, rape, honor killings, torture, theft, drugrunning, lying, mass murder, genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, it's all allowed by Islam. As long as it's against infidels, and not pious muslims.
"We have prepared for the unbeliever, whips and chains and blazing fires!" Koran 76:4
That's why I started my blog on the subject of Eurabia.
These muslims HATE Europe and everything that it stands for. What they failed to accomplish over the past 700 years through war, they're accomplishing now. They're OUTBREEDING Europe.
I wish it was different, but it's not. By 2050, 50% of children in French schools will be Muslims. That's a telling statistic all by itself.
I suppose it'll happen to America as well, but not nearly as easily. People here are feeling pretty belligerent since 911 and we're pretty surprised that Europe didn't take the hint. If it can happen in New York, it can happen in Copenhagen, Brussels, Paris, Rome, Berlin or London, just as easily.
Godspeed
It should be added that approximately 75% of the rape cases in Copenhagen are perpetrated by immigrants (mostly muslims).
So you would have to multiply the Malmoe number by approximately four to get a better comparison with the crime rate of the native Copenhagen population.
Thanks for providing informations from Sweden ! What you write is no surprise to me. I actually wrotte a whole book, in french, about the link between muslim/african immigration and Gang rapes. it's not just scandinavian countries. this is going on all over Europe !
The link between Crime, rape and immigrants isn't limited to Sweden, Norway or Denmark. The same pattern exists in France, in England, In nederland and it's a growing problem in Finland. This is clearly linked to immigration and african immigration is no better.
The language barriers are keeping us all europeans from understanding this.
Our stupid Governments are pretending this is our "local" problem but it's not! It's clearly a non-european immigration problem.
Feel welcome to visit my english speaking link directory about anti-white racism to find plenty of links about it.
http://racismeantiblanc.bizland.com/005/01.htm
I wish the swedes good luck. However, I beleive the main problem is our stupid politicians who don't want to stop immigration! They don't care: they make enough money to leave far from immigrants while they blame the rest of us for being "racists"
If you speak french, you can download the book here:
http://www.racismeantiblanc.bizland.com/trntalb.zip
Just wanted to add that we in fact have quite good statistics on the crime of immigrants. For Nordic readers the following link might be relevant:
Report about crime and national origin in Denmark
Here you can buy a publication from the official Danish Statistics Office concerning crime and national origin for approximately 10 Euro (unfortunately it is in Danish).
To make a long story short it shows (unsurprisingly) that Muslim immigrants are grossly overrepresenten in violent crimes.
Great work! I live in Sweden and the situation becomes more and more clear. Muslim women give birth to many more children if you compare with Swedish women.
Islamic terror is about occupation and creating problems in the society.
Jesus! You bloody fundamentalist of a conservative schmock didn`t post my comment from last week. So you don`t tolerate other opinions than those who please all morons who likes your crappy little web-page...
Guys, its good to see
people who are concerned
about Islamic expansionism. Listen,
go on this web-site:
www.faithfreedom.org
Its about Islam and what it
really is all about. You'll see the real face of
Islam and you will be SHOCKED. Islam is not a
religion but a political cult resembling fascism
and nazism combined together with an Arabic
mask. The person who hosts
this site is a great and brave man by the name of Ali Sina, an EX-MUSLIM from Iran. Along with him
are numerous other ex-Muslims who are fighting
the misinformation on Islam
that is propagated by the politically correct media in all Non-Muslim countries. He has done an
excellent job in proving by using the Islamic "holy"scriptures that not only is Islam a false and flawed "faith",
but a dangerous political
ideology that seeks to overthrow democratic forms of government all around the world and replace it with Arab-like totallitarian governments and socities. Guys, its very urgent that you go on this site, educate yourselves and spread the word in your communities and governments so the truth about Islam gets out before we find ourselves in a very nasty and uncontrolled situation. Your lives, your children's lives, your countries' futures are dependent on this. its a matter of time, that's why
I encourage you to go on this site. Tommorow could be late. You may or may not beleive this but many Muslims are in fact leaving Islam and have done so just by reading Ali's site which does an excellent job in unmasking Islam. His site receives
over 200 000 viewers PER MONTH. Ali and others like him who are trying to get their information across to as many people as possible on the internet
cannot reveal their identites even though they are living in Western countries because Muslims are in the habit of assasinating their critics.
So go on this site and spread the news about this site to as many people as possible. Again, the web-site is: www.faithfreedom.org
