This is grossly irrelevant, but now that you’ve posted this link here, let me quote from the article: "[...] sex crimes accounted for 1.1 percent" "The report stated that the vast majority of migrants did not commit any crimes." "Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis - the three biggest groups of asylum seekers in Germany - were high but given the proportion of migrants that they account for, their involvement in crimes was "clearly disproportionately low", the report said." "The number of crimes committed by migrants declined by more than 18 percent between January and March"

"Migrants committed 208,344 crimes in 2015, according to a confidential police report that was leaked to the German newspaper, Bild. This figure represents an 80% increase over 2014 and works out to around 570 crimes committed by migrants every day, or 23 crimes each hour, between January and December 2015." "Further, many crimes are simply not reported or are deliberately overlooked: political leaders across Germany have ordered police to turn a blind eye to crimes perpetrated by migrants, apparently to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments" https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7470/germany-migrants-crime https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7470/germany-migrants-cri...

  This report is mixing issue. First it includes petty crimes such as traveling on the public transport without a ticket (according to the report about 10% of the cases). migrants are often not allowed to travel from their allocated home, violations are tracked as a crime, which are included in the official reports. Illegally crossing the border to apply for asylum is a crime - which gets listed in the official reports (it's not prosecuted for asylum seekers). All of these are crimes I am not at all concerned about. Most victims of violent crimes among migrants are migrants. That's concerning me more, but does not directly affect me either. The primary issue I have with this report however is that is lumps separate groups together: registered asylum seekers from active war zones and migrants from the Balkan and Maghreb zones that basically stand no chance of ever getting asylum. These groups differ significantly in the number of crimes committed - but who'd expect the writers for a right-wing think tank to make such a minor distinction.

Much of the discussion in this thread is in regards to life in Berlin. In this context, the OP does not seem irrelevant at all.

Lies, fucking lies and statistics. Germany just tries (successfully) to catch up with Sweden! http://www.allenbwest.com/ashleyedwardson/mainstream-media-wont-tell-you-why-sweden-is-now-rape-capital-of-the-west http://www.allenbwest.com/ashleyedwardson/mainstream-media-w...

Stop censuring messages just because you don't like what they say. The refugee crisis is way out of hand, hence Brexit, hence maybe Donald for you. 1000 sexual assaults would not exist on new years if not for migrants. They have a completely different culture that does not respect ours.

  I didn’t censor anything, and claiming that I did is disingenuous at best.
