No westernized country have that lel. What I'm saying is why should any westernized country that values democracy and peace support Putins Russia?

Correction: Multiple terrorist attacks per year, far more than before the migrant situation. I did not mean to say per day, which was a mistake on my part for which I take responsibility for.

However, the amount of rapes has increased dramatically with most being attributed to the influx of said migrants, especially in Sweden.
Strange that approximately 4.4% of the population commits 77% of rapes, eh.

If we look at rapes, in 1975, 421 rapes were reported to the police; in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase of 1,472%.

There is an estimated 250,000 to 350,000 Muslims in Sweden, from 1.8% to 4.4% of the Swedish population of 9 million

Staggering rape and assault rape statistics from Sweden from 1985-89 and 1997-2001. Rape committed by Swedish born rapists (blue) were 22.4%. Foreign rapists represent 77.6% of all figures divided into ‘normal’ representation (pink, red and orange) at 5,070; over representation (red) at 3,752 rape cases; unregistered migrants (orange) at 653 rape cases. Note that the blue bracket of Swedish rapists include foreign born persons with Swedish citizenship as the statistics are only counted on citizenship, and not nationality. This could of course mean that Swedish born Muslims could make up a bulk but we cannot be sure.

We've debunked this before do we really have to go 50 pages backwards?

Either way I don't get what this has to do with anything.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder...

Buzz feed is the best source for news

[StevenChilton]

Of course, but it's really funny even though it probably isn't true.

Furnox had the EU flag as his avatar once (corporate union fanboy), I truly wonder why he doesn't like Russia...?

Source is just as bad as yours, but it's safe to say Britain isn't exactly on Trump's side

[Duuring]

That Putin quote regarding Islam is a confirmed hoax. Anyone who knows anything about Russia would know that anyway, considering that Chechnia gets away with their radical muslim stuff as long as Kadyrov stays loyal to Putin. Honour killings and child brides? All dobre in Putin's Russia.

Russia has monthly terrorist attacks in the north Caucasus republics. Of course, you, and most Russians, don't really give a single crap of what happens in those areas, but it still happens. Of all states on the European continent, Russia argueably has the biggest issues with radical islamists. But go right ahead and continue yelling that Putin ain't such a bad guy and that it's all a western conspiracy. In time, after the Putin-government has collapsed, you will deny ever saying those things or supporting him in the slighest regard. Wir haben es nicht gewusst.

[Furrnox]

B-b-but Russia is great.

[Olafson]

Russia good, komrade. Russia best kountry in world.

@Furrnox (again), Duuring and Olafson: Ever lived, worked or studied in Russia?

Did you just deny Turkey is in Europe? I don't tolerate xenophobia. Reported.
