    I have a question for you SHR, do you think a muslim woman is integrated if she wears a hijab?

    I’m not sure what I think about it. If she wears a nicab or a burqa instead then I would say she isn’t integrated at all, covering your face is a practice I don’t think is acceptable in public places.

    that still doesn’t excuse your ignorance of the third world…..why don’t you explain it then ….explain how a country like maybe India is related to your article and your comment about people from the third world…

    I don’t really know if I would call India a third world country. It has money (7th biggest ecconomy by GDP), its just terrible at distributing it.

    To be fair its 140th in GDP per capita, but that is similar to Ukraine which is at 131st. So India should theoretically be able to support living standards similar to Ukraine for all of its citizens.

    I think Kenty was using the mother of the 3 boys as an example, not the men themselves as parents. The same woman raised all 3 boys yet one is very different from the other two.

    Yes, I just realise that I misread it :wacko:

    draculina wrote: People comming from a country where rape is socially accepted are much more likely to be rapists than other people are though, surely you can’t deny this. A typical Anti-Muslim soundbite and right wing propaganda, fake news. Utterly bereft of fact.

    Hmm, I can see why you interpreted what I said that way, it was poorly worded. I didn’t mean that it is universaly accepted by everyone, because it isn’t. And it is illegal in most of those countries (unless you are married), but rape is more common there, and there are groups in their populations who would be accepting of it.

    But I have to say this:

    A typical Anti-Muslim soundbite and right wing propaganda, fake news.

    Sounds like a typical echo chamber soundbite and progressive propaganda to me ;-) .

    I know a lovely lady with 3 boys who are now men…..2 are policemen…married…family….one of her boys…to put it bluntly is a little shiit….well big one now….in and out of prison…stolen from his mum… Bad parenting? I don’t think so

    Being ‘lovely’ or a policeman doesn’t mean you are a good parent, but I don’t know the people involved so I can’t really say much on this example.

    I’ll get back to you on this though, I have to go and start preparing stuff for dinner.

    Sexual assault statistics themselves are notoriously unreliable, as the vast majority of victims do not report their attackers.

    Again, you can’t know how many people don’t report it. But this is true to a degree. They are also a lot of false reports.

    Sexism is not an imported product. Until 1997, under German law men could legally rape their wives, and even today less than 10% of rape trials end in convictions. Sexual assault statistics themselves are notoriously unreliable, as the vast majority of victims do not report their attackers. But a 2013 global survey estimated that one in three women around the world will face sexual violence in their lives. For the “Eastern Mediterranean,” that figure was just above 36%, while for “high-income countries” like Germany it was nearly 33%”

    And i’m sure ‘Eastern Mediterranean’ country have as good record keeping as Germany. And of course there isn’t any police corruption or anything there.

    You’re doing it again Draculina, flippantly dismissing evidence you don’t agree with, while ludicrously claiming “rape” is the “norm” in the Middle East without any evidence at all. You could argue with yourself in an empty phone box.

    Please quote where I claimed anything like that.

    But I believe it is more common in middle eastern countries, which your own evidence supports. Lol.

    Anti Muslims who dubiously claim “rape” is the norm in the Middle East and then automatically link it to Muslims and the Muslim faith, really should look much closer to home. Some facts for them about violence and sexual assault against women in the UK.

    The statistics you quoted are very flawed, they are for reports of rape not convictions, which are different. It also doesn’t include prison rapes, which if included show that more men are raped than women. I think this is a very clear bias. It also says the following:

    Only around 15% of those who experience sexual violence choose to report to the police

    This isn’t something you can know to any resonable degree of accuracy.

    I have no idea what Taharrush is, unlike you I’m not an expert on this subject….you either have an unhealthy obsession with all things muslim or like I have said before you have a hidden agenda….I don’t sit here thinking about rape being socially acceptable in any country….why the hell would any normal person think such a thing….its up to the authorities in the relevant countries to deal with criminals no matter where they originate from…you don’t need to assume I cant deny anything you type

    Why would you want immigration from a country that you know very little about? :unsure:

    And I don’t think I have an unhealthy obsession with muslims, I know just as much about christianity. I don’t think I could name a single celebrity though, which a lot of people seem to have unhealthy obsessions with. Religion is much more interesting to me.

    They’re wrong, of course, on all fronts. But the invention of the term and the sudden currency it has gained in the mainstream Western media tells a darker tale of how xenophobic right-wing groups in Europe have cynically used reports of sexual violence against women to further a deeply racist, anti-refugee agenda.”

    It’s not a common practice i’ll admit, but it does happen.

    If you tried to arrange something like this with your group of friends, i’m sure they would say no, and probably report you to the police. That’s the problem with it.

    But claiming Arabic cultures aren’t sexist is pretty funny. Iran was okay for that in the 80’s from what I understand, but it has regressed pretty far back by now.
