These numbers seem rather high to me. Is there a good way to verify these figures?

Where = were.

I am almost certain that the US figure is wrong

[ilovew]

It sounds fake to me.

[wizecrakker]

Facts are facts.

But they still need to be verified - or they ain't facts.

Guys can you help out Steve Van Doorn in finding the answer to his question? At least point him in the right directions to look?

I can give you Norway:

Two out of three charged with rape in Norway's capital are immigrants with a non-western background according to a police study. The number of rape cases is also rising steadily.The study is the first where the crime statistics have been analyzed according to ethnic origin. Of the 111 charged with rape in Oslo last year, 72 were of non-western ethnic origin, 25 are classified as Norwegian or western and 14 are listed as unknown.

These numbers are non-facts. Making an exaggerated claim against Muslims simply weakens the legitimate case against them,

You were the one on their forum, why don't you just ask the poster Pablo to tell you what his source was?

Checking around, these numbers DON'T seem high.

Here's one 2005 artlcle, frontpagemag.com

Here's some Swedish info.

>>USA According to the FBI 49% of all rape cases accross the US were committed by men who claim were muslim or known to belong to muslim prison gangs.<<

Here is a start on the U.S. stats.
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_04/offenses_reported/violent_crime/forcible_rape.html

>>During 2004, 12,243 forcible rapes of females—12.9 percent of the national total—occurred in the Northeastern states. <<

>>The South, the most populous region of the United States, accounted for 38.2 percent of the national total of female rapes.<<

If we can compare the religious population by regions we can get a feel for whether the numbers make sense.

My gut feeling is that 49% is way too high.


From the CIA site
>>Religions:
Definition Field Listing
Protestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10% (2002 est.)<<

https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html#People

If one half of one percent of the population (Muslim males)commit half the rapes that's gonna be an incredible stat.

I am unfamiliar with established police procedure where the religion of the accused is part of the data gathered. I suspect these figures are not well backed up.

I looked at the site you linked to and it has no source for its numbers. I might as well pull numbers out of my a-- and post them here. Please don't post unverified junk like this.

Thanks for this great research article.
