100% of rapes in Norway in past five years have been committed by foreigners. Is this what we are making space for in our lives? No thank you. You can't say people are being paranoid or making it up. The secret is out!

You are linking to a very Islamophobic site. As such, you should probably go out of your way to ensure that the information provided is accurate. The allegation you made about rapes in Norway actually is in regard to rapes in Oslo, not the entire country. Moreover, even with regard to Oslo, the data as presented is extremely misleading if not outright false. Please bear with me as I walk you through this:

1) you link to http://10news.dk/?p=1163. The part about rape in Norway says:

"Here 100 percent of all rapes in the last five years in Oslo were committed by immigrants from 'non-Western' countries."

That "fact" links to this Youtube video (yes, a Youtube video is the source of this statistic):

That video was uploaded in 2011.

The distortions involved in these allegations are very well-documented. Here are translated portions of the original Norwegian report that forms the basis of the charges:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/76695373/Excerpt-From-Oslo-Police-District-Report-on-Rape

Is says the following:

[quote]The majority of registered perpetrators in cases of reported rape in Oslo in 2010 have Norwegian citizenship, as has been the case in every previous rape study. In 2010 this went for 61.2% of the perpetrators, which is relatively stable compared to the material from 2007 (60.3%). A relatively high proportion, 12.5%, of the registered perpetrators are from other parts of Europe, and taken together almost three quarters of the perpetrators in 2010 have European citizenship. For the rest, 10.5% are from Africa, 9.2% from the Middle East, 4.6% from Asia and 2% from America.[/quote]

The report goes on to provide some caveats about the with Norwegian citizenship (not all were native Norwegians), but the bottom line is that the allegation about all rapes being committed by non-Westerners is false.

All of this discussion involves years old statistics and is not really relevant to today. I only bring it up to correct the record which was very misstated.
