I believe that if we accept the premise of "rape culture" there should be no reason to doubt that middle-eastern migrants are much more likely to rape than westerners. TMBR

Meh. In Okinawa young, single soldiers from nearby U.S. army bases assault local teenage girls in numbers way out of proportion to their percentage of the population. I'd laugh in the face of anyone who tried to characterize the entire U.S. population based on the behavior of highly-isolated, poorly supervised, predominantly single-sex young GIs.

And I hope you'd laugh in my face if I tried to tell you American college students where all out of control because of the behavior of highly-isolated, poorly supervised, predominantly single-sex young frat boys from "party" houses.

And so I'm gonna laugh in your face for trying to characterize all of "middle eastern" culture based on the behavior of highly-isolated, poorly supervised, predominantly single-sex young immigrants.

"Middle Eastern" and "Western" cultures both have populations on the order of half a billion, plus or minus. You can argue that overall one culture is more patriarchal than the other, and you wouldn't find many people who'd disagree. But you probably won't find many people who agree with your claim that immature dispossessed expatriates are the best sample for judging their entire cultures.
