- "As a refugee,
it is difficult to find a girlfriend." — Asif M., a
26-year-old asylum seeker from Pakistan, responding to charges
that he had raped one woman and attempted to rape five others
in Berlin.
- Sudanese migrants,
many of whom were allowed to enter Germany without having
their fingerprints taken, have "created a business
model" out of social security fraud. — Police in Lower
Saxony.
- Only 6,500 refugees
of the more than one million who have been allowed into
Germany during the past two years are enrolled in work
training programs. — Federal Employment Agency.
- The German
Parliament approved a controversial law to fine social media
networks up to €50 million euros ($57 million) if they fail to
remove so-called hate speech. Critics said the purpose of the
law is to silence criticism of the government's open-door
migration policy.

"champion of modern Islam," recently opened Germany's
first "liberal mosque" in Berlin, and serves as its imam.

The Muslim population of Germany surpassed six
million in 2017 to become approximately 7.2% of the overall
population of 83 million, according to calculations by the
Gatestone Institute.
A recent Pew Research Center study on the growth of
the Muslim population in Europe estimated that Germany's Muslim
population had reached five million by the middle of 2016, but that
number is short by at least a million.
Pew, for instance, "decided not to count"
the more than one million Muslim asylum seekers who arrived in the
country in 2015-2017 because "they are not expected to receive
refugee status." European Union human rights laws, however,
prohibit Germany from deporting many, if not most, of the refugees
and asylum seekers back to conflict areas. As a result, most
migrants who arrived in the country will almost certainly remain
there over the long term.

- Sweden has let in a
huge wave of young male migrants, many of whom have created an
insecure environment for women; when these women have cried for
help and tried to share their stories, the Swedish media and
politicians have refused to listen.
- The Swedish media
recently reported that police no longer time to investigate
rape cases because of the many murders.
- The main problem
with the "#MeToo Movement" is that instead of
relying on the rule of law, people start relying on the rule
of social media. The number of "likes" or
"retweets" decides whose experiences of sexual
assault are recognized. If you have not been harassed or
assaulted by a celebrity, nothing happens. If you were
sexually assaulted by a nobody, nobody cares.
Interest and involvement in the "#MeToo
Movement" has been strong in Sweden. Internet searches for the
phrase "me too" show that Swedes made almost three times
as many as the Dutch population, in second place for the number of
searches for "me too".
What the #MeToo Movement reminds us of in Sweden is
how the issue of sexual harassment has become very politicized.
While many Swedes are eager to expose celebrities who have sexually
assaulted or sexually harassed women, Sweden is still a country
where sexual assaults and rapes by newly arrived and illegal
migrants is denied and concealed in the most vicious ways by parts
of the official establishment.

- Claiming recently
that there is no way to protect Europe's borders, which is his
job, EU Commissioner Avramopoulos openly admitted to powerlessness
in the face of the massive influx of migrants, yet had the
gall to accuse European Council President Donald Tusk -- one
of the few EU bureaucrats who opposes the quota mechanism --
of lacking a sense of European solidarity.
- Tusk was behind the
closing of the migrants' Balkan route through Macedonia, a
policy that Avramopoulos attempted to torpedo; it ultimately
worked to decrease immigration to Greece. This is not
surprising, as having the route open was a "pull
factor" for migration.
- A genuinely honest
discussion needs to take place on what measures are feasible,
which risks are worth taking and which migration movements are
welcome. We owe it to Europe to replace
multiculturalism-gone-wild with rational thought and sensible
action. Avramopoulos is the wrong person to lead this task.

The European Commissioner for Migration, Home
Affairs and Citizenship, Dimitris Avramopoulos, should resign.
Claiming recently that there is no way to protect Europe's borders,
which is his job, he openly admitted to powerlessness in the face
of the massive influx of migrants. He said that neither
"erect[ing] fences" nor "harsh language" will
curb or stop the flow; yet had the gall to accuse European Council
President Donald Tusk -- one of the few European bureaucrats who
opposes the quota mechanism -- of lacking a sense of European
solidarity.
Tusk was behind the closing of the migrants' Balkan
route the Macedonia, a policy that Avramopoulos attempted to
torpedo; it ultimately worked to decrease immigration to Greece.
This is not surprising, as having the route open was a "pull
factor" for migration. Another such factor was German
Chancellor Angela Merkel's mantra about absorbing refugees --
"Wir schaffen das" ("We can do it.")
