So It is Not rape if you Rape a woman who is drunk!
Drunk Woman
”
The incident took place in the 46-year-old man’s in November 2013 when the two returned to the man’s apartment after having dinner together at a restaurant inGothenburg.
The 21-year-old woman told the court the last thing she remembers from the evening is falling asleep in the man’s apartment with her clothes on before waking up the following afternoon to find herself locked in a room.
In its decision, the Gothenburg District Court ruled there was no doubt the woman was intoxicated, noting that she was so drunk she “fell to the ground and lay there awhile”, the Metro newspaper reported.
Tests later revealed the woman’s blood alcohol-level was between 2.0 and 2.5 per mille, more than ten times the legal limit in Sweden, putting her in what the court called a “particularly vulnerable situation”.
Reform’s to Sweden’s sex-crime legislation implemented in July 2013 redefined the term “incapacitated state” to “particularly vulnerable situation”, which in effect re-classifies certain types of sexual assault as rape.The reforms were meant to apply to cases where a victim responds to a sexual assault by remaining passive, allowing them to be treated as rape.
But the man told the court that he didn’t realize the woman was drunk when they were back at his flat, adding that during intercourse she was “active” and “made certain noises”.
In acquitting the man of the rape charges, the court ruled it had not been proven that the man “understood or was aware that” the woman was drunk nor that he knowingly acted against the woman’s wishes.”
I came across a New Report in a Swedish News Paper in English as to who represents the Muslims in Sweden.
Is it the Moderates or the Social Democrats?
Being political animals every one treads softly on Muslim toes.
Read.
In a report released this week and commissioned by liberal think tank Timbro, researcher Ivar Arpi asked “Who represents Sweden’s Muslim voters?”
That question, he said at a Stockholm seminar on Wednesday, was deliberately provocative in many ways. It presupposed that the half million people in Sweden with roots in the Muslim world were a homogenous group.
“I represent Muslim voters,” Moderate MP Andreas Norlén said calmly. “I represent them if they voted for the Moderates, just as I represent Buddhists, atheists, and Jews who voted for the Moderates.”
Next to him was Social Democrat veteran Bo Ringholm, who had just pulled off the tough task of diversifying Sweden’s main opposition party’s candidate list for the upcoming elections. Every fourth person had to be younger than 35, and another quarter had to have at least one parent with roots outside the Nordic region. Add to that the age-old Social Democrat tactic of “zipping” their lists after gender, with every second candidate a man.
Ringholm defended his party’s use of quotas, arguing that “identity politics” – who the politician was as a person – mattered. That term became the focus of much of the ensuing debate, because Timbro and Arpi were looking at the question from a liberal point of view. In other words, they think picking someone for what they are rather than how good they are at something is wrong.
So who represents the Muslim electorate, if there is such at thing?
Arpi’s report looked at two prominent Muslim politicians in Sweden. The Moderate MP from Gothenburg, Abdirizak Waberi, and the Social Democrats’ former steering committee member Omar Mustafa. Did either of them fill that role? Or neither?
Both men, the report underlined, had served as head of Sweden’s Islamic Association (Islamska förbundet), widely regarded as rather purist, or as Social Democrat and Muslim MP Nalin Pekgul once said: “The Islamic Association is an Islamist organization with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt”.
Last year, days after his appointment to the inner circle of his party, Mustafa was booted out. He said his party had thus showed Sweden that it was impossible to combine politics with “representing Muslim civil society” or religious activity in general in Sweden.
Nonsense, responded Pekgul, Sweden’s first Muslim MP. She added that no one had any business pretending that Mustafa was any kind of representative of Swedish Muslims as a sort of ill-defined aggregate.”
As against this, look at following Table, which shows that support for Terrorism and extremism is on the decline were they are mushrooming.
In other words, others are those who seem to support Muslims and thereby indirectly Terrorism!
Terrorism Support Declines?
Overall, the 2005 Pew Global Attitudes survey finds that support for terrorism has generally declined since 2002 in the six predominantly Muslim countries included in the study – Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, and Turkey – although there are some variations across countries and survey items.
We will focus on results for three terrorism-related measures: attitudes about suicide bombing and other violence against civilians, views on suicide bombing carried out against Americans and other Westerners in Iraq, and opinions about Osama bin Laden. The first two measures were only asked of Muslim respondents. All respondents were asked their opinion of bin Laden; however, we will restrict our analysis to Muslim respondents.”
In India it is the non-Muslims who promote Muslims in the garb of Secularism.
This blog has reached 1.5 Million Hits some time , either yesterday or to-day; as usual I did not notice it till a reader sent an email on this with a Link
It is at the end of this post.
I did not post any blog on completion of one million hits as I thought it better not to write about it as one writes hits come.
Nothing earth-shaking about it.
But on this occasion , I thought it would be better if I post on how the Internet is reacting to the Blog.
In a bizarre case a Church was found issuing Sex Diplomas to Teens in Sweden!
‘A “shagging diploma” given to youths at a Church of Sweden confirmation camp proved too much for parents who complained Wednesday that their 14-year-olds were too young for sex…
After attending a course entitled “Love and Sexuality”, the teenagers in the southeastern town of Rödeby were given a certificate and badge stating they were “qualified for sex”.
Vicar Mats-Ola Nylen said the course had been organized by a man purporting to come from the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU), but the church later found out he hadn’t worked for the organization in years.
I am happy that various respectable sites are discussing the points raised in the blog, in various disciplines,in various languages, including foreign languages.
It is nice to know you are noticed.

Henley and Partners have a compiled a List of The Best and Worst passports of the world.
Passports.
Contrary yo what one assumes by the terms, the best and worst e determined based on the Visa restrictions to travel by the host countries.
One would find the West at the Top of the List, for the Best Passports naturally.
Of the worst the top six worst passports, four are from the South Asian Countries., not Africa or the Middle east,Iran included.
India ranked higher than all three countries at 74. Many intervening positions were shared by several countries, showing India ranked much higher than other nations.
An indication of from whom or where the US expects benefits and from where the Nation has been fully exploited.
In today’s globalized world, visa restrictions play an important role in controlling the movement of foreign nationals across borders. Almost all countries now require visas from certain non-nationals who wish to enter their territory. Visa requirements are also an expression of the relationships between individual nations, and generally reflect the relations and status of a country within the international community of nations.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the top ranks of the index are held by European countries. Finland, Sweden and the U.K. share first place, being allowed to access 173 countries in the world without applying for a visa. Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg and the U.S. follow in second place, with access to 172 countries in the world without a visa.

Some of the Weird Hotel Rooms in this Photo Essay.
Silver Mine Hotel Room,Switzerland.
The Mine Suite
After arriving at Sweden‘s Sala Silvermine, you’ll be treated to a guided tour of the “Festivity Hall” that culminates in a complimentary refreshments basket full of cheese, biscuits, fruit, chocolate, and sparkling wine. Then they’ll take you to your actual mineshaft quarters, 155 meters underground. Test your intercom (cell phones don’t really work down there), and take note of the bathroom’s location — about 50 meters from the suite, a super-fun walk when you’ve really got to go and it’s 18ºC.
Airbnb’s Beer Barrel Bed
Head over to Ostbevern, Germany, and book a private room with this queen-sized oddity. If you have trouble nodding off, just take some sleeping pilsners.
Mobile Hotel.
Snoozebox
This “mobile hotel” takes all the best parts of living in a “can” from season two of The Wire and puts them on the road, complete with amenities like flatscreens and luxury toilettes.
Ice Hotel of Sweden.
Ice Hotel
Notable for inspiring the “Ice Palace” in the not-even-remotely notable Bond flick Die Another Day, the frozen jewel of Jukkasjärvi, Kiruna, Sweden is the closest you’ll ever come to sleeping in a -5 to -8ºC igloo, unless you have relatives who are Inuits, in which case enjoy Thanksgiving. The beds are literal blocks of ice with a wooden frame, mattress, and reindeer skins (“Make fun of my nose now, Dasher!”), and each morning, the staff will wake you up with a cup of hot lingonberry juice. You should thank god that’s not a euphemism.
