One of the most degrading and harmful crimes committed against refugees is rape.

Romany: "That a link could be found between an article concerning an Asian refugees personal experiences and two unrelated articles concerning alleged and deliberate Government propaganda in the wake of freak weather conditions in America is demonstrably illogical."

Quite so, Romany. JamesH's comment was deplorable, even by his pathetic standards. On the other hand, runner's was about what we'd expect.

Of course, as men they'd know all about the experience of being raped, wouldn't they?

The subject of rape is a highly emotionally charged topic, CJ and stories about rape have been used as a propaganda tool, sometimes accounts are exagerrated, sometimes not.

In the past I have had inside knowledge of some stories that were published in newspapers and the facts published in the newspapers did not match the facts that I had knowledge of. So I am extremely sceptical of any details that are especially written to be emotive.

The author is using anecdotal evidence, which may be true, may be embellished slightly or a lot.

And for your information CJ, some one I know was raped and I wanted to go out and kill the person who did it. My brother knows what it is like to raped, CJ and he's a man. So some men do know what it is like to be raped CJ.

Obviously CJ you have never spoken to any male surviours of rape and sexual assault.
