Here is an interesting piece on violence and rape in the US.

US: Soaring Rates of Rape and Violence Against Women

More Accurate Methodology Shows Urgent Need for Preventive Action

The statistics show a 42-percent increase in reported domestic violence and a 25-percent increase in the reported incidence of rape and sexual assault.

The National Crime Victimization Survey, based on projections from a national sample survey, says that at least 248,300 individuals were raped or sexually assaulted in 2007, up from 190,600 in 2005, the last year the survey was conducted. The study surveyed 73,600 individuals in 41,500 households. Among all violent crimes, domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault showed the largest increases. Except for simple assault, which increased by 3 percent, the incidence of every other crime surveyed decreased.

"The numbers in this survey show an alarmingly high rate of sexual violence in this country," said Sarah Tofte, researcher for the US Program at Human Rights Watch. "This should serve as a wake-up call that more must be done to address the problem in the US."

The projected number of violent crimes committed by intimate partners against women increased from 389,100 in 2005 to 554,260 in the 2007 report. By comparison, the number of violent crimes against men by intimate partners went down.

I hope to have more time tomorrow to comment, but I need to put a stop to this particular lie right now.

I already told The Saint about this, but he continues to spread this misinformation.

I intend to quote from other sources as well to show that quotes from wonderlist and infotainment blog are not isolated in reporting Sweden as a rape capital.

Top 5 countries with the highest rates of rape
Catalogue of shame contains some surprising countries where rape is most prevalent.

Sweden has the highest rate of rape in Europe, with the UN reporting 69 rape cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 2011, according to author and advocate of power feminism Naomi Wolf on opinion website Project Syndicate.

In 2010, Swedish police recorded the highest number of offences - about 63 per 100,000 inhabitants - of any force in Europe. That was the second highest in the world after Lesotho.

"According to rape crisis advocates in Sweden, one-third of Swedish women have been sexually assaulted by the time they leave their teens. According to a study published in 2003, and other later studies through 2009, Sweden has the highest sexual assault rate in Europe, and among the lowest conviction rates," Wolf wrote.

A 2010 Amnesty report said: "In Sweden, according to official crime statistics, the number of reported rapes has quadrupled during the past 20 years. In 2008, there were just over 4,000 rapes of people over 15, the great majority of them girls and women."

Did you know more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country every day?*
In 2007, our crisis counselors supported and empowered 5575 victims of domestic violence who were seeking help through our 24-hour Crisis Line.

Did you know studies suggest that up to 10 million children are exposed to domestic violence annually?**

This year our family advocates, counselors and therapists helped more than 225 children in our shelters remember what it feels like to be safe, to learn to laugh again and to begin to heal from the violence in their lives.

Did you know that EVERY TWO MINUTES, somewhere in the United States, a person is sexually assaulted***

Our hospital advocates met with 258 victims of sexual assault to listen to their stories, inform them of their rights and, most of all, show each of them they are not alone.

Did you know that almost 1 in 5 female high school students reports being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner?****

More than 12,000 of Kentuckiana?s children, adolescents and teens participated in our educational programs addressing topics related to respect, healthy relationships and dating violence.

@The Saint:

The BBC article you posted confirms exactly what Ron said: These numbers can't be compared.
It also contradicts your claim which you made only a few lines later - that the rape rate in Sweden has risen steeply.

Even worse for the Muslim Statistics article you posted. Apparently the word "Muslim" in the the title bar made you automatically assume that the information within must be backing your PoV.
The opposite is true however: if what is written in the article is correct it would be the worst moral disaster for Islam you can imagine.
It only takes one second to read the title(!) of your link: Sweden: 77% of rapes committed by 2% Muslim male population � Gov data

I'm speechless. Do you actually read what you post ?

If you want my source just google "rape egypt" and read the Wiki entry.

And your Website "TheRichest" is a typical low level tabloid. It tells more about what you like to watch and read than about rape.
Obviously you can't distinguish between trustworthy and rubbish sources.


Unbelievable: Airmano
