Cologne rape happened after this article, so did the massacres in France and Germany.

  FYI, those are still just data points. If you extend the timeframe - which naturally we want to - we need to include all the data for the interval.

  Which of the massacres were perpetrated by refugees or illegal immigrants? The Nice attack was made by a legal immigrant, living in France for more than a decade. The Brussels ISIL cell members were almost all born in Belgium, France or Sweden. The Charlie Hebdo shooters were born in France, as was the guy who took those hostages in the supermarket. The Munich shooter was born in Germany. Which ones am I missing?

    Born in France doesn't mean socially and culturally integrated. Many of these attackers were children of immigrants who either didn't integrate because of their own cultural beliefs or because the host society didn't provide the necessary conditions. Whatever the reason, these people didn't feel like they belong to the host societies and radicalized. If anything, these attacks are examples of unsuccessful integration and of the failures of free movement and immigration of people of radically different cultural beliefs, and not the other way around.
