Swedish rape
crisis boils over as media stay silent, Almost zero coverage of brutal sexual attacks by Muslims, by Leo
Hohmann, 3/5/16, WND
Men and women in Sweden
have been swimming together in public pools quite peaceably for more than 100
years. But as the government
has welcomed tens of thousands of Muslim migrants to be resettled in the
Scandinavian country, some are wondering if Swedes may soon have to revert back
to separate swimming arrangements.
The reason is simple,
reports Swedish journalist Ingrid Carlqvist, a fellow at the Gatestone
Institute. Women are faced with a new reality when they show up for a swim at
any number of public pools. “Young male asylum seekers have turned Sweden’s
public swimming pools into ordeals of rape and sexual assault,” Carlqvist writes. “More and more Swedes are now avoiding the pools all together.”
“Swedish politicians
seem convinced that some education on ‘equality’ will change the ways of men,
who, since childhood, have been taught that it is the responsibility of women
not to arouse them – and therefore the woman’s fault if the man feels like
raping her,” observed Carlqvist in her latest article. In 1975, before Sweden
began experimenting with a multicultural immigration strategy, it was one of
the safest countries in the world.
Sweden and Denmark now
have the highest rates of sexual assault in the European Union, according to a
study by the European Agency for Fundamental Rights. The findings were based on data from 2012 that
was published in 2014.
A recent survey published by Aftonbladet on women’s fears in Sweden found that 46 percent of women felt
either very or somewhat unsafe when alone after dark compared to just 20 percent
for Swedish men.
“They’re scared because
of the Muslim invaders,” noted anti-Shariah activist Pamela Geller on her website Monday. “And yet instead of doing anything to stop the invaders,
Sweden (and Europe in general) are just bringing in more of them. Europe is
committing suicide before our eyes. ”
These trends have
emerged in a country where police are not permitted to identify the immigration
status or national origin of criminal suspects out of fear that it could fan
the flames of “Islamophobia” among native-born Swedes.
Brutal attack outside Stockholm
The most recent example
of the type of crime that has instilled fear in Swedish women is the case of
Nathalie Hager, 29, who was on her way home from a bus stop last Tuesday night
when a group of Arabic-speaking men suddenly attacked her outside a church. She
managed to fight her way out of a gang rape but was left badly injured. “They beat me black and
blue and cut into one of my breasts, while shouting at me that I was a Swedish
whore,” Hager told Fria Tider, a nationalist magazine that published her story Sunday.
Only one Swedish newspaper, Nerikes Allehanda, NA, published a brief mention of the
attempted gang rape with scant information.
The attack took place
near a church in the picturesque town of Nora, west of Stockholm, late Tuesday
night. “They pushed me down on my stomach and dragged me by my hair up a paved
hill and into an alley,” she said. “I have no memories of them beating me, but
my face is all blue and swollen. They also cut into one of my breasts with
something that must have been a carpet knife or a razor blade, the wounds are
long and narrow. I also have big black marks on my arms where they held me.”
She managed to break
away. While running, she saw her boyfriend approaching from 50 meters away, and
at that point the men, described as between 30 and 35, fled.
WND reported last week on a growing rape crisis in Germany, including a gang of 30 young
Muslim men who chased three teenage girls after taking pictures of them on
their cell phones at a mall, and an assault on two schoolgirls at a public
swimming pool.
Counter-culture shockwaves at pools, beaches - The wave of sexual attacks and sexual harassment
at public pools and beaches in Sweden goes against a longstanding history in
Sweden of women and men swimming together.
Carlqvist gives a brief
historical account of the Swedish tradition that swept across Europe in the
late 19th century. “Mixed bathing in Sweden
started in the small southern fishing village of Mölle. Around 1890, the ‘Sin
of Mölle’ gained notoriety. Men and women were swimming together! Out in the
open and shamelessly flaunting their striped bathing attire. It was a sensation
that echoed all over Europe, and people came from everywhere to partake in the
exciting new activity. Danes poured in, and even the German Emperor Wilhelm II
made his way to Mölle in July 1907.”
But the young men coming
from the Middle East and North Africa have no exposure to such a culture, and
the clash of worldviews has been like the Titanic hitting ice in the open sea.
Carlqvist describes a
sort of collective cognitive dissonance in her country. “It should come as
surprise to no one that men from the Middle East and North Africa have quite a
different view of women than Swedish men do. The only mystery is why Swedish politicians
have got it in their heads that everyone who sets foot on Swedish soil will
immediately embrace our values, our view of women and our traditions.”

The largest ethnic
groups coming to Sweden are Afghan, Iraqi, Somali and Syrian – the same groups
that are now coming to the U.S. as refugees, although in smaller numbers
as a percentage of total population.
She said Swedish
politicians may be surprised to learn that many of these foreign men think
women who run around in bikinis are fair game, but they cannot admit that the
difference has anything to do with being raised under Islam.
“Of course, they cannot
admit – to Swedes – that this completely alien view of women has anything to do
with Islam, because then they would become victims of their own claim that
everyone who criticizes Islam is an ‘Islamophobe,'” Carlqvist writes.
Cover-up gets harder for media to pull off - For many years, she said, it was possible to cover up the
abuse, partly because the Swedish media chose to call the perpetrators “youth
gangs,” and never mention that they were almost always immigrants from Muslim
countries.
In Malmö, for example,
one of the most immigrant-heavy cities in Sweden, and where Swedes have
actually been a minority since 2013, the problems at public pools started at
least 15 years ago.
Carlqvist gives a
detailed history of the problems at public pools in Swedish cities that have
welcomed large Muslim immigrant populations. Sweden, like France,
also has a history of topless beaches. “The attitude towards
nudity in Scandinavia is very different from that in the Middle East. Sweden
has many nude beaches, where men and women swim together without a stitch of
clothing, without the slightest hint of sexual harassment,” Carlqvist writes.
“In the gender-separated changing rooms at public pools, there is no sign of
shyness.
Swedish men and women
see it as a matter of course to shower and wash properly before getting in the
pool, and a couple of decades ago stern overseers even patrolled the changing
rooms to check the patrons’ shower habits.” In Muslim countries,
nudity is seen as extremely private, and one does not willingly take showers
with others, not even with members of the same sex.
All the public pool
personnel with whom Gatestone spoke confirmed that Muslim men and women shower
with their underwear on, and then keep them on under their swimwear. Many Muslim women bathe
in a so-called burkini, a garment that covers the entire body, so when Muslim
men see Swedish women in a bikini, many of them conclude that they must be
“easy” women whom one is “allowed” to grope.
In 2015, when roughly
163,000 asylum seekers came to Sweden, the problems at public pools increased
exponentially, Carlqvist reports. More than 35,000 young
people, so-called “unaccompanied refugee children,” arrived – 93 percent of
whom are male and claim to be 16-17 years old. To prevent idleness, many cities
offer them free entrance to public pools.
It’s ‘not wrong in Afghanistan’ - During the past few months, the number of reports of sexual
assaults and harassment against women at public pools has been overwhelming.
Most of the “children” are from Afghanistan, widely considered among the most
dangerous places in the world for women.
When the Swedish daily
Aftonbladet visited the country in 2013, 61-year-old Fatima told the paper what
it is like to be a woman in Afghanistan: “What happens if we do not obey? Well,
our husbands or sons beat us of course. We are their slaves.” To expect men from a
culture that views women as men’s slaves to behave like Swedish men is not just
stupid – it is dangerous, Carlqvist said.
Mr. Azizi, the manager
of a large hotel in Kabul, told Carlqvist how an average Afghan man sees sexual
attacks on women: “What the Afghans are doing is not wrong in Afghanistan, so
your rules are completely alien to them.
Women stay at home in
Afghanistan, and if they need to go out they are always accompanied by a man.
If you want to stop Afghans from molesting Swedish girls, you need to be tough
on them. Making them take classes on equality and how to treat women is
pointless. The first time they behave badly, they should be given a warning,
and the second time you should deport them from Sweden.”
