Do you even know that correlation is not causation? Unless you believe lack of pirates is causing climate change and organic food sales drives autism?

To address that issue, you would have to realize that there are different factors leading more people to report sexual abuse. First, consciousness/labeling of the assault itself, which is made easier by sexual education and feminist propaganda. Second, public policies making the authorities care more about sexual violence; it used to be in many places that a woman trying to press charges would be denied that right. Third, that cops themselves have (sometimes) received proper training in how to handle such cases, and reporting sexual abuse doesn't have to be (although it still is in many police stations) such a traumatic experience as it used to be.
That's just the first 3 counter-arguments that come to mind because they are well known in feminist circles as well as in academic contexts studying sexual violence.

You are just spewing mindless islamophobic tropes. None of what you say is true. First, islam doesn't have a globally unique legal system: sharia does not drive the lives of most muslims, and is in any case subject to many interpretations. Second, of course rape and murder are denounced in the Quran and forbidden by muslim customs... need i remind you that muslims live by 90% of the same religious laws as jews and christians? Third, of course you may find fascist scholars promoting hatred and violence... whether they be muslim, buddhist, christian... That's neither representative nor authoritative on any matter.

Nonsense. Rape is rape and horrible in any case. Whether you find support in your community to prevent it and to address it has nothing to do with geography or legal status, but rather with solidarity, empathy and popular power. If you were not making an abstract point from your indoctrinated racist incel point of view, you would actually realize that the MeToo movement has precisely shown that no place is good when it comes to sexual violence.
Of course some specific sexual crimes such as sexual excision are rooted in a specific cultural context, but even those are not universal in the muslim worlds. And even then, sexual mutilation of children is common in the western world as well when it comes to intersex children, and that doesn't seem to bother people of your kind.
