Massive Muslim immigration to Malmo, Sweden has brought with it a startling increase in rape and other violent crime. Cherished multicultural myths held so strongly in Sweden are being shattered, but at the expense of innocent young Swedish women and other victims of crime. The fjordman blog from Norway reports:

The number of rape charges per capita in Malmö is 5 — 6 times that of Copenhagen, Denmark. Copenhagen is a larger city, but the percentage of immigrants is much lower. And it's not just the rape statistics that reveal a scary increase in Malmö or Sweden. Virtually every kind of violent crime is on the rise. Robberies have increased with 50 % in Malmö only during the fall of 2004. Threats against witnesses in Swedish court cases have quadrupled between 2000 and 2003. During the past few decades, massive immigration has changed the face of Sweden's major cities, as well as challenged the viability of the welfare state. In 1970 Sweden had the fourth highest GDP per capita among developed countries with income about 6% above the OECD average. By 1997 it was at fifteenth place with an average GDP per capita 14% below average. Malmö has a heavy concentration of Muslim immigrants in particular. According to some estimates, it will be a Muslim majority city in no more then 10 years. Crime is rampant in the growing ghettos:

When are the Swedes and other Western Europeans going to wake from their slumber of dreams of idealism?
