They're so anxious to do a little virtue signalling and prove how enlightened they are, that they'll drop all concern for rape victims in a case like this, and go instead to labeling people bigots for noting a problem.
The fact is, if you're denying there's a serious problem with Islam and in Muslim communities in Europe, you're the kind of liberal who is empowering the far right there.
This is not 'one incident', as it was so callously and sickeningly shrugged off up thread. This is one more in a very long list of rapes and sexual assaults being committed by Muslims against European women in European countries, because they see women, and non-Muslim women in particular, as lesser beings, and legitimate targets. Saying there's rape everywhere and this is only highlighting the rape committed by Muslims is nonsense, because it's way off the scale in that one group.
This is happening regularly, and if all you can do is stick your fingers in your ears and babble 'Islamophobia' over and over, then voters will gravitate to the only people willing to talk about it. Ten years ago, Sweden's far right party was politically insignificant. Now they're the most popular party, specifically because of this sort of reaction from the left.
