The number of rapes in the Norwegian capital is six times as high per
capita as in New York City, and it is well documented that certain
immigrant groups are grossly overrepresented on the statistics. Two
out of three charged with rape in Norway's capital are immigrants with
a non-western background according to a police study. Unni Wikan, a
professor of social anthropology at the University of Oslo, has said
that "Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for
these rapes" because Muslim men found their manner of dress
provocative. The professor's conclusion was not that Muslim men living
in the West needed to adjust to Western norms, but the exact opposite:
"Norwegian women must realize that we live in a Multicultural society
and adapt themselves to it." The number of rapes has continued to rise
year by year, as it has in neighboring Sweden, but according to Trond
Giske, Minister of Culture and Church Affairs from the Labour Party,
2008 will be an official Diversity Year (which it also will be
throughout the EU), dedicated to celebrating Multiculturalism and
"cultural diversity" in all sectors of society, so hopefully this will
change.

Thomas Hylland Eriksen, professor of social anthropology at the
University of Oslo, heads a multi-million project sponsored by the
Norwegian state trying to envision how the new Multicultural society
will work. He lives, according to himself, in a boring, monocultural
part of the city, insulated from the effects of cultural diversity.
Zorica Mitic, a Serbian doctor from the former Yugoslavia where a
Multicultural society recently collapsed in a horrific civil war,
warned against the effects of unchecked mass immigration. Mr. Eriksen,
a career Multiculturalist and intellectual celebrity in his country,
responded by chastising her for her "lack of visions."
