Bring Your Burka to Oslo

Oslo, Norway boasts six times the number of rapes as New York City, reports Brussels Journal. And it's the women's fault:

Two out of three charged with rape in Norway’s capital are immigrants with a non-western background according to a police study. The number of rape cases is also rising steadily. Unni Wikan, a professor of social anthropology at the University of Oslo, in 2001 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.”

Don't you just love living in a Multicultural (capitalized no less) society? Call me old-fashioned, but I like a society that respects a woman's right to wear something besides a burka occasionally--you know just for fashion's sake and retaining the culture of shoulder pads and Farah Faucett feathered hair.
