The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) published report, released in May 2018, which shed light on this problem.
According to the report, 4 852 migrants were suspected of being involved in sexual crimes in 2017, up from 3 329 in 2016.
“Furthermore there have been several terrorist attacks committed by Islamists in Germany and Europe over the last few years,” said Deputy Leader of the AfD in Rhineland-Palatinate Joachim Paul. He said the rise in such crimes was fuelled by the mass influx that started in mid-2015.
“It can be concluded, that certain parts of Muslim society are unwilling to integrate into Western societies. Instead they want to transform our society according to their beliefs.”
According to the Heritage Foundation, a Washington DC-based US conservative think tank, 44 migrants or asylum seekers were involved in 32 Islamist plots in Europe between 2014 and 2018 which resulted in 814 injuries and 182 deaths.
The think tank’s study found that “while plots were devised or carried out in 12 different countries, the most frequent target was Germany” adding that “the majority of plots had direct ties to ISIS*”.
“If people want to become German citizens, they will have to accept our values,” said Paul. “Those who are willing to do so are welcome to stay and everyone else is free to leave Germany and Europe”.
The Turkish Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), one of the largest Islamic organisations in Germany, meanwhile said that at some DITIB mosques were attacked recently.
But Paul said the problem will not be solved by promoting only tolerance towards Muslims. “The state is obliged to protect the lives and the rights of every German citizen, despite their age, sex, sexual orientation and, of course, religion. If Mosques or Muslims come under attack, it’s the police’s duty to prevent them from harm. But I think that it is wrong to demand policies which aim to promote tolerance towards Muslims only. It is just as important to raise tolerance among Muslims.”
Former ousted intelligence chief Hans-Georg Maaßen has renewed his criticism of the CDU, Chancellor Merkel’s party. “I did not join the CDU so that we could have a migration policy that looks like millions of uncontrolled immigrants, a small number of deportations, integration deficits, disproportionate asylum-related offenses, Islamist terrorist attacks, rioting in swimming pools,” the spy boss told the Rheinishen Post.
In retrospect, the CDU party congress in 2015 was an awakening experience for him, according to Maaßen. At that time Merkel was criticised by no one for her asylum policy, although her procedures had been rejected by many party colleagues. The Union must operate only on “classical CDU policy”, then it would win back voters from the AfD. At the same time, Maaßen claimed that the AfD was currently not capable of forming a coalition.
Maaßen called himself “more leftist” and “a realist”. He refused to be perceived as a righwing politician. “Just because one criticizes the climate policy and the migration policy, just because one has concerns about some aspects of security policy, one is not automatically right,” he said. The term “right” is used “to exclude people and to avoid the substantive arguments they have to deal with.”
