    Seemingly there are no records in many of the countries where these men are coming from and no one knows who they are.Also if you come from a country where women don't report rape because they will be told it was their fault anyway and they will be considered damaged goods, there will be no records kept of rapists so they can rape again and again and again.

    They aren't going to undertake some huge change of mind and attitude just because they are given asylum.

    Its a bit facile to say if laws are broken someone will be prosecuted.Try telling that to the women in Cologne, prosecuting someone for raping you doesn't take away the fact that your life as you know it has been destroyed.Its not good enough to say don't judge people by where they come from, give them the benefit of the doubt and if they rape women, well, so what they will be prosecuted for it.How do you deal with a situation where potential rapists outnumber the Police force as happened in Cologne, this isn't very reassuring for Irish women when we know we haven't enough Gardai as it is.

    I hate to tell you this, but there are potential rapists everywhere!!!
    Anyone can rape and then they can rape and rape again.....

    R.E Feminists- as one myself I have an idea.

    Clearly a misinformed one.

    Absolutely no interest in reassurance, I prefer to look at what has happened in other European countries and learn from their mistakes.

    I sincerely hope that Angela Merkel has learned from her mistake and that she will never be allowed to do a solo run on illegal immigrants again.We have no idea who she let into Germany and once these dangerous people are in they can travel anywhere in Europe with their murderous intent.

    The culture in Pakistan is so cruel, girls can only be educated up to eight years of age and it is the general belief that they should have their first period in their husbands house rather than their fathers.The women have a hard hard life, the misogyny is very extreme and it shouldn't be minimised by saying its the same in other parts of the world.There is no future for any country that treats half its population like chattels and there will be no change until men making laws to suit themselves and denying other human beings basic rights.

    There is no place in Western Europe for men who want to continue to treat women like chattels and who prefer to live in self imposed ghettoes rather than embrace the norms of the country they are living in.France for example took the bull by the horns because the Muslim demands were becoming extreme in what is a secular society, The Muslims related by shooting cartoonists dead and by gunning down people enjoying a concert.

    Are you basing your ideas about Muslim society on a couple of books you've read about Afghanistan?

    Yet you can't articulate what it is. Other than claiming Islamic societies are no more misogynistic then non Islamic ones and talking about the oppressed women in them is nonsense.

    I did ask for clarity but you prefer to offer derisive remarks, so what can you expect. This thread is becoming clogged with our over and back comments so I'll drop it.

    No you didn't. But why start being honest now?

    She's made some wild claims about women being allowed access to education in Pakistan. I'd like to hear her source for these claims. It's up to her to support her points. Not me.

    I asked which of my comments you were taking issue with and for clarity r.e the classes. I've been entirely honest throughout, why wouldn't anyone be honest in their opinions and in stating facts that were used in a famous rape trial?.. but you wouldn't realise that, defender of liars like Ibrahim Halawa that you are.

    If you are actually totally ignorant of the plight of women in Afghanistan you really should educate yourself Brianh.

    The vast majority of women in Pakistan have no life, they endure an existence.

    The fact that they-Brian and others- do not already know these things but at the same time they consider themselves qualified to refute it when others mention it, is worrying.

    I agree, we are lucky to live in this country.
    We have laws here, if someone breaks them they are prosecuted.
    Ignorance Of The law is no defence, so even if it's 'OK' to rape women in other countries, it's not here.

    But why bring in people who come from a culture which has been proven time and again to be shown to condone second class treatment of women and actually more often than not punishes the girls and women who are raped.

    Seriously I just don't get some people.

    Claiming they will be prosecuted after the fact is adopting the Cologne mayors views.

    Women, girls and indeed young boys who have sexually assaulted and raped by migrants are just it appears collateral damage to some people.
    And shure we will prosecute if anything happens.
    Well maybe we will ignore it as in Cologne/Swedish concert and shure even if people are prosecuted the victims may be the ones blamed because they didn't fight enough or didn't scream in the rapists own language to let them know they didn't want to be raped to help the rapist alleviate their sexual emergency.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Rare...and rape and rape again? They shouldn't need psychic powers after the first time.

    It was just a joke, by the way. No harm meant.

    And the basic civil rights that apply across the world. Kinda bizarre notion to sanction people for something they haven't actually done.

    I'm entirely cognisant of the plight of women in Afghanistan. What makes you think I am not.

    Are women allowed secondary school education? You said ealier they weren't . That poor girl was shot by the Taliban , an insurgent group in Pakistan. It doesn't mean women in Pakistan can't go to school. Far from it.

    I think the plight of women in some Muslim countries is terrible. But I'd like to keep you honest on your wild claims.
