UN rape statistics is unreliable source? It's creepy how lot of people downplay rape in this thread.

  The source itself says that it is is unreliable :) "Please note that when using the figures, any cross-national comparisons should be conducted with caution because of the differences that exist between the legal definitions of offences in countries, or the different methods of offence counting and recording." http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/statistics/crime/CTS2013_SexualViolence.xls http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/statistics/...

  There, you're doing it again! You are purposefully seeking to distort the truth, and I don't really understand why you are doing so. Nobody is seeking to 'downplay rape' – an obvious dog-whistle accusation – and instead I reckon people generally want to understand if there is a problem, and if there is, then why there is a problem. The problems with what you are doing are: 1. You are citing a right-wing think tank. I know that all sources have bias, but this is not even pretending to be an objective one. It's a poor source for data. 2. That think tank bases it's analysis on UN data which explicitly points out that it is not suitable for direct international comparison. I do not personally know if an increase in immigration in Sweden's resulted in more sexual violence, but I am absolutely certain that we will not figure that out using the sort of facile "why do you love rapists so much" shit that you are spewing.
