It shouldn't. Just says the rape statistic in Sweden has a different meaning than it does elsewhere but they send people to jail on about the same basis.

Lots of data on what goes on in Sweden if you wish to look. It is a well explored issue. Often used by the far right wing to indict refugees but does not hold water.

Like all such things though I am sure that refugees to Europe do commit rape...so always an element of truth.

Sorry just want to be clear.

Also, seems to me that some media outlets lean right, others lean left, in varying degrees. I try to get information from all sides.

Why else is he (and lib dems) pushing to let 200,000 peaceful refugees into the US

You're doing a great job of avoiding the question.

This is a nation of immigrants. People come here for a better life. It's been that way since the beginning.

You think that Obama wants to bring in 200,000 peaceful refugees to impose Sharia law and destroy us?

Not even a hint? Can you name one school and I'll look it up myself?
The one in Oregon where the recent mass shooting occurred, for one.

25% of all campuses in the country had unarmed police in 2012, according to the FBI.

Hint: do a Google search on your phrase "opposition by the faculty to arm campus police".

Thanks. The information was posted. And I learned something from it.

85,000 with about 35,000 from the Near East. That is up slightly from this year.

These are not children and women, they are young men of fighting age.

You figure it out for yourself.

I'm done with this thread.

'Manifesto' found on UC Merced stabbings suspect - CNN.com

Even this report is incomplete. They say nothing about his parents or anything about his past.



Turns out these days we are in that when they tell you little about the perpetrator that Islamic terrorism activity is usually at the bottom of it.

Ok, but why these 200,000 cut in front of the line? Don’t we have quotas or anyone who manages to storm our shores gets to come in. Looks like the biggest losers are those who follow the law. Go to the embassy, file applications and wait to be called. Now, if you are a fence jumper on the southern border you don’t have to wait. Just walk in. If you storm Europe as “refugees” in fancy Nike backpacks with fully charged batteries and functioning iPhones you get to cut in line and be flown to the US. This chaos has nothing to do with the “nation of immigrants”.
