The latest letter from a reader.

I just wanted to comment on today's editorial (May 2). You are, of course, spot on.

This is happening all over Europe, where people who do not/will not integrate are let off rape/child molestation, among other things, due to it being part of their so-called "culture".

I find it quite odd that people flee a Muslim country out of unproven fear for their life, only to travel through several countries before they decide to settle in a non-Muslim country, where they complain about their rights and want to turn their host country into the same type of country that they fled from in the first place.

I find it disgusting that these same individuals then demand the right to impose Sharia law, and are seemingly exempt from their host countries' laws. You only have to look at Sweden, which is now the rape capital of Europe, with Germany, Italy and the UK following closely behind.

I sincerely hope and pray this country does not follow suit.
