  This is not that far from saying "well, what were they wearing?", as we all know what most Western women wear in hot weather, esp. at a swimming pool.

  Yeah there are no winners here, not the mayor of being ignorant and not denouncing inappropriate behaviour, not the men sexually assaulting the women and finally the writer who’s xenophobia and intolerance leads to a biased outlook.

  Nothing wrong with condemnation of discrimination of unacceptable practices, but at the same time is it all Syrian men, all of them and is it impossible for German men for example, to sexually assault underage women.

  I feel it is not the immutable characteristics that condemned the men, such as their nationality, race or gender, but rather their Outlook and practices that see women as lower status that can be objectified as the true cause. Even men of other nationality, race and gender for example white German male believing the same and conducting the same vile acts should be condemned

    My biggest problem is not the men or the act itself. There are assholes in every big population. It’s government officials brushing it off. That’s what bothers me the most.

    Would it help if they assimilated and didn’t rape underage girls? Absolutely. But they’ve imported so many, and they refuse to give consequences for the actions of immigrants. There’s no reason for them to assimilate, why would they? They can rape as many kids as they want with no consequences, it’s paradise

      Yeah I really do hope people will hold their elected government official in charge to account. Agreed that just because the mayor thought it might seem Islamophobic he just brushed off the sexual assault incident and said kids will be kids, oopsie, fucking coward. Hope there is consequences and enforcement of rule of law.

      But I do not think it is an issue of assimilation, I am a minority in my own country with my own very rich and vibrant culture. I do not fucking need to assimilate and I will not be suppressed by the majority to assimilate. But I do believe you can criticise and condemn vile cultures and traditions, even my own is regularly criticised. Cultures with traditions like genital mutilation like circumcision or labia and clitoris removal of kids, if it’s not a medical requirement then leave the kids the fuck alone, don’t care if it is your culture, let them mature to a consenting age and then they can choose for themselves. Or suppression of women to below a man or as a sexual object, fuck of if your book says this person needs to be subjected by this person.

      But sorry I am ranting in a conservative group, I am libertarian leaning so I assume my views are not aligned with everyone’s here, but believe we can all talk common sense
