‘Cologne is every day’: Europe’s rape epidemic

GERMANY, Sweden and other European countries are facing growing public unrest amid a wave of reports of sexual assaults since the Cologne attacks.

New York-based conservative think tank Gatestone Institute has compiled a shocking list of sexual assaults and rapes by migrants in Germany in just the first two months of the year.

Drawing only from German media reports, the list documents more than 160 instances of rape and sexual assault committed by migrants in train stations, swimming pools and other public places against victims as young as seven.

German police use terms such as “southerners” (südländer), men with “dark skin” (dunkelhäutig, dunklere gesichtsfarbe, dunklem hauttyp) or “southern skin colour” (südländische hautfarbe) to describe the alleged perpetrators.

Authorities across the country have been accused of downplaying the true extent of the problem by suppressing information about migrant-related crimes, ostensibly due to a “lack of public interest”.

I wonder what day Europe celebrates 'Harmony Day'?

There is a perverse benefit from the current flood of Muslim migrants into the EU - the bigger this crisis, the more likely the UK is to vote to leave the European Union ("Brexit") in the forthcoming referendum on June 23rd, and so win back its independence from the EU superstate:

>> 63% say immigration is the biggest issue in forthcoming Brexit referendum:

You might think that the UK's existing substantial immigrant population would be in favour of staying in the EU to support the incoming migrants - but:

>> Britain's Immigrant Communities Turn Against "Anti-Black" EU - Growing hostility towards the European Union (EU) from Britain’s ethnic minorities could swing June’s referendum in favour of Brexit... Race equality activists admit they are surprised at the scale of anger about the EU from the UK's minority communities...

>> Germany faces EU referendum demands over the migrant crisis - Germany must have a UK-style referendum on its membership of the EU, insists the political party which gave German Chancellor Angela Merkel a bloody nose over the migrant crisis.  The AfD (Alternative for Germany) party, formed only in 2013, shocked the German establishment last week with huge gains in local state elections...

It is not difficult to create crises from this situation.  Helping millions of displaced people was never to be easy.  But i cannot believe the hatred that some of my (ex) friends are spouting.  It's straight out of Hitler's mouth.   Yesterday I went through my "friends list" and unfriended anybody who keeps taging me with their propaganda.  I have in the past lost it and called them fascists on facebook, and they got offended.  Well, either they are fascists or they are totally stupid.  People in the 1930s could not predict the horrors ahead, but people at present have no excuse.  The thing is that many European countries actually have negative population growth; increasing their population by about 1% would not hurt them, on the contrary, as their population is aging, the refugees which are mostly young a fit people will be plus for their economies.  Germany's population in 2015 was 81.1 million and dropping, and there are many countries in similar position.

Do you think that the migrants who worked on the Snowy project took those jobs from locals?  Or that foreign fruitpickers take jobs from locals?  Migrants increase demand and stimulate economy.  Even when to start with they work  in sweatshops and getting underpaid and not paying much taxes.  They spend all their money locally.  Usually if they did not do that work, those jobs would go overseas.  All properly done stats show that migration creates jobs.  That is why countries that do take large numbers or migrants always outperformed countries that do not.

Migration also helps the rich get richer, this is why Trump is so darn popular, the poor middle class a getting poorer every day. They've been lied to their entire life and they are suddenly waking up.

[donnashuggy]

Too many young men are migrating, that is how it looks to me.

You must be joking, Trump's supporters are not the middle class; they are the uneducated & racists.  They are so ignorant they cannot see the reason poor people are getting poorer are people like Trump.

[donnashuggy]

Yes uneducated and racist too.

Well, the journey across Europe is not  a picnic, and many families sent the strong young men ahead, because in Europe, right until very recently, the moment person was accepted as a refugee and given residency (or whatever ), they were able to bring over the whole extended family.  Now they cannot and in some countries they confiscate all their valuables, which of-course means they will not be able to establish themselves and will depend on the welfare system.  Imagine that you lost all your possessions in bushfire, also your place of work was gone, you just managed to grab some valuables, grandmother's jewelry, and when you get to safety the authorities take away everything and all your savings before they let you into the shelter.  I am not surprised that people will riot.
