There is however a huge gulf in the view of women in society between the West and Islamic nations, especially the Wahhabi ones with Sharia law in practice. I cover off on the weird problem the segregation of women has created in Afghanistan in the thread below.
In this case I believe people who see this and live in Sweden have a responsibility to teach new Swedes and visitors alike about the respect for strangers' privacy, another aspect of the learning I mentioned.
Certainly there are more positive aspects, but this one does seem important.
edit to add:
keeping in mind that not all migrants are rapists or counter-privacy fiends
No, not all are rapists. We agree on that.
But
How do you educate people who are so brainwashed by their religion that they believe we are the ones at fault for letting our women be free?

The refugees should be taken in by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Iran.
The UN could assist by building safe camps for them to live in with security until the wars are over.
Why this isn't happening yet, I don't know.

Raping isn't a religiously taught notion, contrary to sadly popular belief.

You will not fix the world in one post. The US not long ago, had women not allowed to vote or own property. I can't walk outside, in most places without a shirt on, but you can. Why is that? Think carefully about the answer. I will generally be paid less than a man, though I only had one child and took a total of 8 weeks off of work in the 90s. So why? I understand there are huge differences in Muslim countries, but they are Theocracies, not Democracies or Democratic Republics. We will not be the same.
And the cultural side of Islam, correct and true to the religious teachings of Islam or not, holds that women who dress like westerners are whores and do not deserve respect.
As I mentioned in the OP, I was left with very mixed feelings from that video.

These groups come in and they form ghettos. They do not integrate among the rest of us, they stick together and try to recreate what they have left behind in a new country. There is very little cultural exchange as a result
I believe that's really up to us as individuals.
As you say, much to be learned from new neighbours
Sweden has become the rape capital of the world and Germany now faces a similar problem.
How do we reconcile that as 'learning'? Our women are free due to the hard work they put in to educate us that they are the same as men in most ways and deserve the same rights and to viewed as equals. The men from these Arabic nations come in and view them as whores for the taking.
It seems more like a step backwards into tyranny and occupation to me.

The they I listed in my 1st post.
The middle eastern countries that have lots of open space and lots of resources to support their displaced neighbors.
We're not shipping Mexicans, central and South Americans to North Africa or the middle east.
But go ahead and keep believeing what the TV tells you.
Last time i looked Mexicans and Central Americans were risking their lives to reach the US border and sneak in...just like they Arabs are doing here with European countries.

Obama and his cronies plan to do exactly that.
www.cnn.com...
I have been all over the middle east. It's really impressive how they build entire cities all at once.
They would be perfect places to house large numbers of refugees.
I've seen them set up air conditioned tent cites for 5000 people with everything you could need. Mess halls, showers laundry...
But go ahead and keep believeing what the TV tells you.
You are aware that there is a lot of tension in the middle east right? And that say...London, might be more attractive and offer more options to people fleeing war torn countries than Riyadh, right?
The CNN link is just one of many sources for Obama agreeing to bring more refugees to the US. I'm on my phone and can't be bothered to post others.

What's wrong with Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, Oman?
Seems like a better fit, much closer. And they can regroup and organize to take back their countries.

Ill wait.
Attacks on women in Cologne and other German cities on New Year's Eve have prompted more than 600 criminal complaints, with police suspicion resting on asylum seekers, putting pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel and her open door migrant policy.
The attacks, mostly targeting women and ranging from theft to sexual molestation, have prompted a highly-charged debate in Germany about its welcoming stance for refugees and migrants, more than one million of whom arrived last year.
Drawing only from German media reports, the list documents more than 160 instances of rape and sexual assault committed by migrants in train stations, swimming pools and other public places against victims as young as seven.
German police use terms such as “southerners” (südländer), men with “dark skin” (dunkelhäutig, dunklere gesichtsfarbe, dunklem hauttyp) or “southern skin colour” (südländische hautfarbe) to describe the alleged perpetrators.
Migrant rape fears spread across Europe: Women told not to go out at night alone after assaults carried out in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland amid warnings gangs are co-ordinating attacks
Sweden has issued warnings to women to be wary of potential attacks
15 young women have reported being groped by men in Kalmar, Sweden
Austrian police have come under fire after claims attacks were covered-up
Finnish police say they have information that the attacks are co-ordinated
Vienna's police chief advises women not to go out on the streets alone
Cologne police chief Wolfgang Albers relieved of his duties over handling of New Year's Eve sex attacks

Was it that or Iran when they deposed the Shah and became an Islamic state that came first?
I am pretty sure it was Iran.
