The recent article by John Derbyshire includes a picture, above, and this note.

Pictured above, Aylan Kurdi, a child dead due to reckless parents, and Linda, a young Swedish woman beaten and raped due to reckless refugee policies.

"From 1984-88, I served as the Press Attaché to the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, and even then I was told by Oslo police that the normally independent Norwegian woman’s approach to sexual relations was being transformed by this Moslem presence. To many of these new immigrants to Norway from Moslem countries, at that time, mainly Pakistani, the sight of a woman at a disco…was a sign that she was not only a prostitute, but open to any and all suggestions. What remains perplexing to me after more than twenty year absence is to hear, of all things, a Norwegian female police officer explain away the rape problem as a result of people coming “from traumatized countries.” If this police approach continues, I assure you that the numbers of rapes will not decrease, and Norway, along with many other Western European countries, will continue down the path of national suicide."

Five years ago, the late Lawrence Auster posted on his website a comment I wrote that dealt with the growing numbers of rapes committed against Norwegian women by Muslim men . In part, it stated:In February of this year, the Gatestone Institute Foreign Policy Council, whose head is former US Ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton, published its findings regarding the rise of rape throughout the world, and I read that Norway’s neighbor, Sweden, now ranks Number Two in the world in the crime. How and where did it all begin?

The report begins this way: “Forty years after the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the formerly homogenous Sweden into a multicultural country, violent crime has increased by 300% and rapes by 1,472%. Sweden is now number two on the list of rape countries, surpassed only by Lesotho in Southern Africa.” Twenty years before, where Norwegian law enforcement officials were dismissing the crimes as committed by people “from traumatized countries,” a similar approach was taken by officials today in Sweden. The report found: “In an astounding number of cases, the Swedish courts have demonstrated sympathy for the rapists, and have acquitted suspects who have claimed that the girl wanted to have sex with six, seven or eight men.” [Sweden: Rape Capital of the West, by Ingrid Carlqvist and Lars Hedegaard, February 14, 2015]

Since 2000, there has only been one research report in Sweden on immigrant crime, which was done in 2006. In that period, the unprecedented rise in crime also featured gang rape. The report states, “A new trend reached Sweden with full force over the past few decades: gang rape — virtually unknown before in Swedish criminal history.” The number of gang rapes increased spectacularly between 1995 and 2006, but no studies of them have been undertaken.

Both the Norwegian and Swedish Foreign Ministers are current advocates of further admission of Muslims into their country. The late Larry Auster described this approach as “the path to national suicide.” I believe that Sigmund Freud would have called it“a death wish.”
