The European situation is more appropriate to say. Lets just say that 80 percent of these people are fighting age males who aren't exactly "intergrating" like they should.
The entire basis for these articles misses the point that Swedish law enforcement counts every action separately as a case of rape. Comparing their records with those of other countries (where counting methods differ) is journalistic dishonesty.
Reporting some of the facts while omitting the fact that different countries collect statistics on rape differently is suspect.

Ok yes. Sweden has a different more socially liberal definition of rape. But that is no excuse. If you were to switch the words 'rape' with 'sexual assult' would it make it any less excusable? No. It wouldn't and Sweden has seen a 1400 percent increase in rape and/or sexual assault.
Wow, 1400%? Are you completely sure about that? Do you want to consider the idea that perhaps there may some problems with the articles that report that?
Different law enforcement entities have different definitions of rape, and different societies have higher or lower willingness to report sexual assault. Sweden happens to count each individual occurrence as a separate act of rape, while some countries would count a week of harassment at work as one act, and might not classify it as rape. Other countries will blame the victim for reporting it.
So of course Sweden has a higher number of counted rapes. It's ludicrous to compare their numbers with another country, especially without mentioning the differences in law enforcement practice. It's even worse to blame the difference on immigration.
