THIS is their CULTURE. Are you a feminist or aren't you? Where's your outrage? Pathetic, spineless inexcusable cowardice of a woman. And here I am, a man, defending the rights of women while you sarcastically blame all Western men instead of a cultural difference. Argh. I spit on the floor in response to you.
Try reading instead of foaming at the mouth. And spitting.
Rape happens across cultures. If you honestly believe that all Muslim men think it's normal to rape then I have nothing else to say to you. It is not a middle Eastern phenomenon and it's never ok, I don't care what God he prays to (am I repeating myself?) And yes, for the record, I welcome refugees.

Your refugees will VOTE

I think that it's reasonable that they would want a good standard of living. These refugees are not all poor people from the middle of nowhere.
These refugees are not all poor people from the middle of no where.
There are a lot of affluent, well educated people fleeing too. Whether they all want to stay here, I can't speak for everyone of them, but what I have read suggests that they don't. You've seen a different view and so presumably some do and some don't.
We're not really talking about a mass invasion for the UK - 20,000 is a pretty small number to be dispersed throughout all local authorities.
Specifically, the rape thing. Because it is a phenomenon not limited to ME. It's a phenomenon throughout third world nations.
Am I the only person who doesn't worry at all about terrorism, who thinks that a handful of rapes is aside from the point, and a few immigrant ghettos is a non - entity. and a few immigrant ghettos is a non - entity.

I hope and pray that you are.
I hope you, your loved ones, or your infant child, never have to go through the horrors of a brutal rape. I hope you never have to stand in front of an infant child bleeding from almost every orifice, and so traumatized that you can't find a place to touch it without fear of damaging, or hurting the child more. I hope that you never have to care for the body of a brain dead child, that thought that hanging himself was the only escape from being repeatedly raped.
Indeed I do hope and pray that you are the only one.
Now what if I tell you I'm not against immigration and I don't believe all Muslims are bad. Now what? Just what possible subjective reasoning can you come up with now to keep your position? ...Exactly. Gotta think about it now don't you? Point is, you've got your liberal blinders on so tight, it's cutting off your ability to hear what we're all saying. Specifically, the rape thing. Because it is a phenomenon not limited to ME. It's a phenomenon throughout third world nations.
Scotland’s estimated population in 2008 was five million. In this year, there were 2,859 asylum seekers in ‘dispersed accommodation’ in Scotland.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates there were 43.3 million forcibly displaced people worldwide at the end of 2009, the highest number since the mid-1990s. This number includes over 16 million refugees and asylum seekers.
In the 10 years to March 2010, around 22,000 asylum seekers came to Glasgow as a result of the Home Office dispersal contract.
In 2007, around 1000 asylum seekers were granted refugee status as they had spent too long in the asylum process and in that time had effectively settled in the city.
Sweden now has the second highest number of rapes in the world, after South Africa, which at 53.2 per 100,000. Statistics now suggest that 1 out of every 4 Swedish women comes out to be the victim of rape. If you look at the number of rapes, however, the increase is even worse.
In 1975, there were only 421 rapes reported to the police – in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase of 1,472%. It would seem Sweden is a much more dangerous place for women in the world.
Sweden has the highest rate of rape in Europe. In 2013, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå), there were 63 rape cases per 100,000 population reported to the Swedish police.
According to rape crisis advocates in Sweden, 1 out of 3 Swedish women have been sexually assaulted by the time they leave their teens.
During the first half of 2013, more than 1,000 Swedish women reported being raped by Muslim immigrants in the Stockholm; over 300 of those were under the age of 15.

Refugees arriving is not a new thing. It's not always easy, there are fights and assaults and I'm sorry to say that they come from both sides. This is why I'm not panicking about another wave of refugees. Fear-spreading abour rapists arriving to kill us in the night is not helpful to anyone. These are not monsters coming across the water, they are human beings.
