Pro-Muslim refugees is pro-abuse of women and children. These are the inflexible facts. And pro-refugee activists invariably end up running into this core conflict.
During the We Are Sthlm music festival, large groups of young men harassed girls sexually. It began in 2014 and it also went on during last year’s festival. According to internal police reports the groups were ‘so-called refugee youths primarily from Afghanistan’. The youngest of the victims was 12 years old.
The police claimed that there were ‘relatively few crimes and arrests considering the number of participants’. Internal reports told a different story. The police were shocked enough by the harassment to try to come up with a strategy to handle the groups of molesters at the festival — a strategy that was evidently unsuccessful. The trouble was that they were trying to deal with a problem but would not speak its name. As Peter Ågren, police chief in central Stockholm, put it: ‘Sometimes we do not dare to say how things really are because we believe it will play into the hands of the Sweden Democrats.’
In short, it's better to cover up what is truly happening than to face it head on.
Reports are emerging of Taharrush gamea-style harassment in Malmö on New Year’s Eve. According to police reports, hundreds of refugee youths from Afghanistan roamed around and ‘surrounded intoxicated girls/women and harassed them’. Similar incidents are being reported from towns such as Kalmar and Karlstad. The Finnish authorities are handling reports of organised sexual harassment perpetrated by Iraqi immigrants.
Every story we hear is only the tip of a horrifying iceberg. Sometimes the truth breaks through. But that's only the very tip of the iceberg. The majority of attacks will never be reported, the vast majority of perpetrators will never be charged and punished. And until we deal with the root of the problem, migration by a group whose values and ideas are fundamentally different, nothing will change.
