The rant in the OP's youtube clip repeats the inaccurate claim about immigrants and rape statistics in Sweden.
I love the way that the original "fake" news story about Swedish rape being a result of immigration was illustrated using pictures of an article from a reporter from BBC Radio 4 More or Less programme, who was clearly making the point that Swedish rape figures were relatively high because of how the Swedes gather their statistics.
She was actually refuting the argument that it was because rape was more common in Sweden than other countries, arguing that the figures had risen as a result of people being encouraged to report rape and because in Sweden each separate act is counted in the stats as a rape. If a man penetrates you a number of times without consent or your partner rapes you twice a week for a year each is counted as a separate rape, which is not usually the case in other countries.
The rise in the rape figures in Sweden is due to the changes described above (i.e. the change in the way the figures were gathered and the high reporting rate). Importantly the noticeable "rise" in the number of reported and recorded rapes pre-dates the large influx of Muslim immigrants. From that date onwards the Swedish rape figures have actually stayed around the same, suggesting that the influx of immigrants does not correlate with the rape figure in any way.
In other words the Swedish rape figures used in the anti-Muslim "fake" news have nothing to do with the immigrant population, and an important article, describing the real reason for the "rise", was waved around as if it backed up the anti Muslim/immigrant story.
Fake news? No, just intentional lies to whip up anti-Muslim sentiment.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
