Uhm, that's exactly what's happening, at least in Europe, but I think it's a combination of culture and religion.
Just look at the rape statistics in Oslo, Norway, in 2009 every single rape perpetrator was an immigrant, mostly muslims. That's not chance, that's a pattern, and I can guarantee you that muslims are highly overrepresented when it comes to rape in most western countries.
It's so clear you'd have to be dumb, deaf and blind not to see it, or you could be a cultural relativist and apologist and simply refuse to see the writing on the wall even though it's as clear as day.
Muslims could be marching through Berlin or London decapitating and raping everybody in sight and you'd still have people blaming us westerners while apologising to the muslims profusely.
Wake up........

@Seabag
Can't agree on everything, huh? lol....
So... I'm going to suggest, it's nowhere NEAR accurate to say that Islam as a religion has anything whatsoever to do with women being raped in Egypt during a mass protest.
www.thereligionofpeace.com...
It is against Islam to rape Muslim women, but Muhammad actually encouraged the rape of others captured in battle. This hadith provides the context for the Qur’anic verse (4:24): The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives.
Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verse: (Sura 4:24) "And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess." (Abu Dawud 2150, also Muslim 3433)
But beefing up the police force wouldn’t even begin to address the problem that’s at the root of the country’s growing rape crisis: the presence in Norway, and especially in Oslo, of ever-growing numbers of people who have nothing but contempt for Western culture, who have absolutely no concept of respect for members of religions other than their own, and who have been brought up on the idea that women who dare to walk the street alone and without veils covering their faces deserve to be violated.

A glimpse of the official mentality that makes this steady rise in rape statistics possible was provided in an article that appeared in the Norwegian daily Dagbladet on October 25. It appears that in the summer of last year, the same paper ran a story about Abdi, a Somali immigrant, then 24 years old, who since coming to Norway as an asylum seeker had committed 14 robberies, been incarcerated, become a narcotic, and lived on welfare.
That's not religious. That's cultural. Simple as that.

(Source: Rape: Weapon of war ]
Local health centres in the DRC’s South Kivu province estimate that 40 women are raped in the region every day. In Liberia, which is slowly recovering after a 13-year civil war, a government survey in 10 counties in 2005-2006 showed that 92 per cent of the 1,600 women interviewed had experienced sexual violence, including rape. These numbers probably err on the low side because women fear the retaliation and social ignominy that reporting a rape could bring. In Darfur, says the NGO Human Rights Watch, women and girls live under the constant threat of rape by Sudanese Government soldiers, members of the Government-backed Janjaweed militia, rebels and ex-rebels.
Warring groups use rape as a weapon because it destroys communities totally, says Major-General Patrick Cammaert, former commander of UN peacekeeping forces in the eastern Congo. “You destroy communities. You punish the men, and you punish the women, doing it in front of the men.” Adds Cammaert: “It has probably become more dangerous to be a woman than a soldier in armed conflict.”

More than 1,000 young American women have been raped or sexually assaulted in the last decade while serving as Peace Corps volunteers in foreign countries, an ABC News 20/20 investigation has found.

South African police documented more than 64,000 rapes last year.
A widely cited 2010 study found that more than a quarter of South African men have admitted to raping a girl or woman. One in seven men admitted to gang rape.
You will find that all three of the big religions say it is ok to rape and keep slaves during war.

If you figure that's the extent of a reply needed after telling me I'd be dumb not to see your way and your side ...with the final admonishment to "wake up"? Oh, we'll agree to disagree alright. We'll never talk on another thread again. I can tolerate almost everything....but bigotry is too much. Bigotry against Muslims doesn't make it right, either.
