What happened in Sweden last night?

Donald, the man of the future, was actually talking about what would happen in Sweden the next night.

Do you know many Muslims? The idea that Aisha was married that young isn't even universally accepted. Unsurprisingly, the general interpretation of those verses changes in richer and more developed nations. Syria was not an under developed nation. Tertiary education enrollment was at about 40%. 80% adult literacy, largely brought down by the over 65yr olds who didn't benefit from the development and education reforms (only @35% literate).
On the other hand you'll see similar issues in other nations which are poor and have a similar system of dowries and arranged marriages. Non-muslim countries that is.
Nor does religion in any way account for the massive statistical changes wrought by the war. The religion of the refugees didn't suddenly change.

I think in my life I have met only one. Though it does not count as it was a female, and I think she gave up Islam, as she was not wearing the garb, or attending service or anything.. That I know of. Really nice girl, felt bad for her during 9/11 As people harassed the hell out of her. Campus cops had to escort her everywhere.

Look I will freely admit that my limited exposure to them, coupled with the horrific things I see them doing on the news, makes me in fear them.

I will say this. I did not know the above information. Thank you for posting it. I will reflect deeper on it. Though can you provide more information on the Aisha thing, as that is a pretty disturbing passage.

This rape statistic thing has been argued before and I still don't understand it. Can someone who is neither for or against the Refugees please explain it in a PURE NON BIASED way. I keep seeing how the rate is over inflated, and that muslim refugees are over represented. How can someone be over represented? If you did the crime you are represented right? So if one group is committing more then another, how is that over representation if it is truth in numbers?

Also, I hear how the way rape is reported makes the numbers inflated. Can someone explain that, as that makes no sense. Example I heard of, if a boyfriend rapes his girlfriend every day for a year, it is counted as 365 rapes, not one count of rape. My question is, how is it not 365 separate rapes?

My understanding is that Sweden defines rape the same way "4th wave feminists" define rape, and this change in law happened a couple of years ago.

So that means that any thing can be called rape then? Even a harmless touch on the arm or some such?
