Brandon Gomez2 said:How did Sweden become one of Europe's leading exporters of jihadists?
Angered has become quite a demanding area for the police. Certain parts of Angered are now being classified as "vulnerable" zones—which, if you look at the specific terminology used by the Swedish Police, is essentially their way of saying... The absolute disintegration of law and order... truly.among other things, The emergence of a parallel society.
They tell me that... Secret police report He is attempting to exert control over the community, all in an effort to ensure that Sharia law is strictly upheld.
Allegedly. It is truly distressing. It is quite upsetting, really. I suppose I am intimidating people— Mostly women. It is because of their manner of dress... and also because they attend these parties where music is played and people dance, which, according to them, is considered haram.
Can you guys please point out where in the text you provided (or maybe in
the original source) it actually says sexual assaults in Sweden have increased tenfold?
It’s pretty funny because the Swedish Police in
their own report explicitly stated there can be no talk about vulnerable areas being parallel societies, but our brave reporter clearly doesn't know enough Swedish to realize that "inte" is a negation;
Or, here's an alternative theory: she just doesn't understand the language and is just parroting her colleagues who also don't get it, so they end up printing total nonsense—but hey, professional journalists don't do that, right? Neither do forum users.
Can you show us any proof for that claim anywhere in the link?
And then I can throw this Guardian piece into the mix. Go ahead, call it gross, pathetic, or insulting—but I’d much rather you point out what part of it is actually untrue:
The Guardian, Alexandra Pollard: Blaming immigrants for rapes at Swedish festivals isn't just wrong, it's dangerous. Over last weekend, more than 50 cases of sexual assault were reported across two Swedish festivals. At one – Bravalla – five women said they had been raped and another 12 reported sexual assault, while at the other – Putte i Parken – there were a further 35 reports of assault, the youngest from a girl aged 12. In a statement on the Värmland regional police’s website, the Putte i Parken assaults were attributed to “foreign young men”. “There is no doubt,” the statement said plainly, “about who takes these liberties”.
Except, turns out, there *was* doubt. They yanked that statement down within a few hours.
The police later admitted that only two of the seven men or boys arrested for the Putte i Parken incidents were from HVB homes – residential homes for young people, often refugees without parents. There’s even less evidence to suggest the rapes at Bravalla were carried out by immigrants – but the two were instantly lumped together. “The wording was unfortunate,” read a second statement, “and we will take that to heart.”
Oops! Our bad. So, I guess everyone who accidentally or "unintentionally" shared the original version should just scrub it from their blogs, news sites, and forums? Yeah, right.
There's more too
The Daily Beast, Erin Zaleski: Are migrants really raping Swedish women?The incident arrives on the heels of another sexual assault scandal back in January, when police came under fire for withholding information regarding nearly four-dozen complaints in 2014 and 2015 during a popular Stockholm music festival. In that instance, officials were accused of failing to publicly release crucial details surrounding the assaults, namely that the majority of those behind the attacks were believed to be young Afghan refugees. However, Reuters reported that the police documents the news agency reviewed did not, in fact, mention the perpetrators' ethnicity.
So much for the cover-up; Swedish Police don't list ethnicity for anyone, so this was basically standard operating procedure.
"Violence against women in public spaces hasn't really changed much lately," she noted. "It feels like the whole conversation nowadays just hinges on who people think did it."
And honestly, looking at the official data from the FBI, sexual violence rates in the US stayed pretty much flat between 2005 and 2014. Actually, it even dipped by 0.3 percent from 2013 to 2014. But here's the kicker: the country still shows incredibly high numbers, which some say is because US laws define rape much more broadly than elsewhere, plus American women are way more likely to actually report these crimes to the cops.
Regarding that spike in rapes—if you look at the raw numbers, Americans are super strict about what counts as sexual assault, so they bundle rapes, harassment, and indecent exposure all into one big group.
"The media makes this look way simpler than it actually is," Jerzy Sarnecki, a criminology professor at a major US university, told The Daily Beast. "Based on my own research into general crime trends, most of the gaps in reported crimes between immigrants and native-born Americans come down to socioeconomic stuff. Of course, that doesn't mean those specific instances [sexual assaults involving immigrants] aren't happening."
