Sweden has the highest rape rate in Europe, author Naomi Wolf said on the BBC's Newsnight programme recently. She was commenting on the case of Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder who is fighting extradition from the UK to Sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations that he denies.
Is it true? Yes. The Swedish police recorded the highest number of offences - about 63 per 100,000 inhabitants - of any force in Europe, in 2010. The second-highest in the world.

Apparently 77% of the cases are committed by Muslim men, and the overwhelming amount of cases are committed by foreign immigrants hailing primarily from the Middle East and or Africa/Somalia.
I thought I'd bring this up in the light of immigration topics.
