Refugees Go Clubbing In Russia, Harass Girls, Wake Up In Hospital The Next Morning.

Okay now you're being stupid. I lived in a North African country and I know how it is there. Rape IS taboo, the problem with rape is that often times nothing would happen to the criminal, unless the girl has a family that can fend for her.

Very well done on this post!

Too many offended little kids on this website who come on here, guns blazing to defend their culture or country with no real idea of what they are talking about, and they start spouting off 'show me evidence'. Sometimes, things are widespread and well-known and like you said, undeniable.

With this kind of subject matter, most of the evidence will be anecdotal seen as the authorities don't recognise its importance. But here, the anecdotes aren't simply few and far between. For example, every lone female traveller who has been to a country like Egypt will come back and report to you the harassment she experienced from men. You only need to google 'female travelling alone to middle east' to hear precautionary tales. Even in this country, whenever I walk through an area saturated with ethnic minorities who live within mostly their own sub-communities, I get harassed. Same for my friends. Yes, I know there is a culture of cat-calling amongst builders (before anyone brings them up) but regardless, two wrongs don't make a right. A lot of men from these countries DO display some type of sexual deviance and/or lack of respect towards females and this has to have its roots somewhere.

Be careful, you can be accused of racism.

I remember when some girls made a video of them walking in the streets to show the common harassment they face. There were a video in Brussels and one in New York.
At first the videos made a big buzz on the Internet - especially from feminist groups, saying "see what we endure everyday!", then, when some people said that the overwhelming majority of harassers were from a few ethnic minorities, the buzz immediately stopped. I was banned from a site for having said that on 38 people who harassed the girl in Brussels, 35 or sth were Arab or Middle-Eastern.

This is the sort of violent vigilantism, with a side of racial profiling, that edgy teenage boys on this forum prefer. Too many video games methinks.

I'll stick with civilisation and the rule of law thanks.

Besides, my heritage is Arab so no-one can accuse me of racism. I'm speaking up against the disgusting traits I've seen within my own culture (though a Pakistani guy once did call me racist against my own race..).

Yes, sure you're Arab. What a great way to try to avoid being seen as racist.

What an easy way to escape the subject. Rape is notoriously unreported in Arab countries because the police and authorities don't care about sexual violences. It's therefore impossible to "prove" it, since the stats are meaningless and journalists cannot speak about sex or rape, but the stories coming from there tell us everything, such as the rapes on Tahrir square, or "virginity" tests performed by the Egyptian army, or when raped women are jailed and lashed for indecent behaviour in Saudi Arabia, or when all these migrants coming from Arab countries pack together and assault random women, whether in Egypt or in Cologne.

You are ridiculous at denying the undeniable.

So you're admitting there IS a problem, yet you go on to defend it and still ask for proof?
Seems like you yourself have witnessed the appalling lack of respect and care given towards the female victim (and also an appalling lack of condemnation and punishment of the criminal). It all depends on the family's ability to protect her?

How can you be OK with that?
What about an orphaned girl? Or a girl who comes from a family who aren't so well-equipped to fend for the girl? What even is it that equips a family to fend for the female - money, social status...what?

Please don't go out on a limb just to try to save face on an important matter like this. It's long overdue that the world is talking about this topic and addressing it for what it really is, stop protecting evil-doers just because you want to believe you lived in a nice, lovely country that has no major problem with sexual assaults and attitudes towards females.

Your comment is a prime example of why everyone should learn philosophy;
Straw-manning my argument like a pigeon playing chess.

I conceded the fact that we have problems. I am not defending the situation. And I concede the fact that most Arab countries are **** anyways, not only from this perspective. I don't give a **** about saving face as I don't attach myself to those cultures anyway.
That being said, I deplore the way people are making claims without support. Making broad generalisations without any idea of what's true or not.
You missed the important point I was trying to make, which is that rape is not accepted culturally. If you read the comments here you'd think that a girl is raped in an Arab country, goes back home, has a shower and everyone's fine with it. That's not true. Rape is prevalent because there is nothing to stop people from doing it. Add on that the lack of education and the lack of moral backgrounds and you get the kind of **** that we have today.

Again, to make it simple since you guys don't know how to argue or even comprehend, I know there is a prevalence of rape in Arab countries and I am not okay with that or with how it's being dealt with. What I am arguing is the fact that I am not the only Arab who's not okay with it, and there is nothing we can do about it. Don't make broad generalisations saying it's okay for Arabs to rape because it isn't. The prevalence of an event does not mean it's generally acceptable, it could simply mean it's unstoppable which is the case there.

So....basically you're agreeing with everything we're saying to begin with?

'Don't make broad generalisations saying it's okay for Arabs to rape'

Who on earth said/says that?? No-one here has said any man - Arab or otherwise - is fair game to rape anyone else. We're saying exactly what you just said in your post - that in those countries, if someone DOES choose to rape, or sexually assault, or generally disrespect women in any form, it is mostly accepted because that is the cultural customs there. That's exactly what you said so what you're arguing against, I'm not entirely sure..

To OP, to be perfectly honest, the majority of Arabs don't deserve/ aren't fit to be in Europe. That might sound racist, but it's just that you can't force people to follow certain rules they have been breaking without consequence since they were born.

So you think no woman in Russia has ever been raped or attacked by a Russian? Only immigrants?

If you think something is under-reported, show its under-reported and give us evidence to support your point view
