>>I’m also skeptical.

There have been twice as many rapes committed in Oslo so far this year as in the whole of 2010, nearly all of them by immigrants, Oslo Police statistics have revealed. Of the 48 rapes committed in the city in 2011, a suspected 45 are from people of a ‘non-Western background’ (code for non-white), most of whom are said to be asylum seekers.

The huge overrepresentation of foreign rapists in Oslo and other Norwegian towns has become so undeniable it has prompted mainstream politicians to speak out on the problem.

Høyre (Conservative) politician André Oktay Dahl told television channel TV 2 that ‘it cannot be denied that many of the culprits have an ethnic background with a critical view of women’.

Oslo’s mayor Fabian Stang, also from Høyre, said to broadcaster NRK: ‘I’m afraid the time is ripe to consider a way of limiting [asylum seekers’] freedom, even though I find this difficult.

This report appears to show a different outcome and seems to be a more reliable source.

Probably the most salient part is this (talking about rape perps for the last five years):

“The proportion of perpetrators (unique persons) of Norwegian national background is the group whose representation increases the most, comprising 38.2% of perpetrators. Together this brings the proportion of perpetrators with a European continental background to a total of 51.9%.”

Having said that, the number of non-Norwegians committing these crimes is a worryingly high percentage given their numbers in society.
