Regardless how rape is reported in Sweden, the fact is that 'refugees' from Muslim countries are committing these crimes in all the European countries that have allowed them in. And lets not talk about the atrocities performed on Christians and other 'infidels' in the middle east. Does the Financial Times report citing 'shocking mass sex attack' by Muslims work for you?

75-80% of rapes in Sweden are committed by immigrants. Considering rape is punishable by death in many Muslim countries (and since in many of them women can't leave the house without a male relative escort) I'd say some statistics are worthless.

Malmo, Sweden, is known as the rape capital of Europe. It's one reason that Sweden is now totally revising its immigration policies to restrict 'refugees'.

I have been to Syria and they are extremely kind, hardworking and family-oriented and they share our values. They are running away from ISIS not joining ISIS. Before ISIS invaded Syria was generally a secular country with very little crime. They are also one of the most educated countries in the middle east. 86% of Syrian refugees have a college degree according to the Voice of America. They will contribute to society here like many others that came before them. Remember Steve Job's father came from Syria. Even Jerry Seinfeld is of Syrian descent.

Th express is is not unlike the national inquirer. Their top story today is that a family was killed by a fire caused by their washer dryer.

The kids thing is right on. The parents who brought the kids here will be happy to have their feet on stable ground once again. It's the kids who will have to absorb most of the slings and arrows of being the foreign kid at school and in the neighborhood. Those are the ones who end up getting "radicalized".

Nice pr piece but people are concerned especially what is happening in Europe, especially France. The Catholic Church embraced the refugees in France and gave them land.

Since we are comparing CONTINENTS 'Europe', I'd bet / surmise that Americas as a continent, is far a bigger threat or problem to the world ... noting you have to include Central and South America which includes but not limited to all the gangs, drug cartels, people trafficking and black market weapon sales

Population of Continents: Europe 742.5 million
Americas 953.7 million

Europe on paper is one of the safest continents to live in with the Americas and Africa being the worst

I think the troubling part about "terror" attacks, especially the recent spat of Islam related ones, is that unlike drug crimes which occur in much greater frequency, these attacks are entirely random.
If you want to avoid getting shot during a drug deal, you can significantly reduce your odds by not dealing drugs, not approaching drug dealers during a drug deal, and not standing around known locations for drug dealing.
In France if you want to avoid having a truck driven into you or getting your throat slit in church, or being shot at a concert, your choice is like, stay inside all the time I guess?

I think it's really important to keep the eyes on the prize and constantly remind people that terror attacks in general are no higher now than they were in the 60s or 70s, and that crime and murder are WAY down across the entire globe from just 20 years ago.
Still, the randomness of the recent attacks is what I think really freaks people out and even as a staunch progressive who believes everybody deserves to be treated on an individual basis, I'd be lying if I wasn't a little bit un-stoked on bringing in refugees from the Middle East.

I guess no news is good news on the first few families that arrived here though.

France is around 10% Muslim, that's why there are so many attacks.
