Wow, seems like I've hit a nerve!!
Do you always put so much effort into arguing with people on the internet.
Let me summarise my side, to make it easier for you.
The use of the phrase "sexual harassment" that you are so desperate to defend, pales when faced with the actual events, group assaults on women. I was replying to the OP - which you used earlier as it suited you - that claimed rape.
If that is not the case, that's fine, maybe I should have said "You mean like you are when you say "people who file police reports" rather than sexual assault victims??" You're undermining victims, that's not on.
What is your point? Are you just trying to win an argument on the internet, regardless of the subject matter, which, in this case boils down to you downplaying a group assault of women.
You claim others of having an "agenda". Well, yes.... we have an agenda. That agenda is to look after our women. That agenda is to not accuse SEXUAL ABUSE victims of being liars.
What's yours? You should be careful not to get so deep into semantics that you totally miss the point.
My views are not just exclusive to refugees. I don't have that mental disability that would allow me to think that only a person from a certain country, or of a certain skin colour, is capable of rape and sexual assault.

No you seem to plagued by various other mental disabilities.
No one is making the point that only muslims are capable of such behavior. People are saying that they are way more likely to display this sort of behavior, en masse, as evidenced by the events of new year's eve.

Can you give examples of other cases in which you suggested that specific groups of people needed to be educated on how to treat women?

And so Jasna, who said she had never had a boyfriend, tried to stop crying as she was raped. According to the Bosnian government, more than 30,000 women have been raped in this former Yugoslav republic’s nine-month-old war, with some of the victims as young as 12. The government, partly supported by testimony from Muslim victims and captured Bosnian Serb soldiers, has accused the Serbs of employing rape as a tactic to “boost morale” among the victorious fighters and humiliate Bosnian women and their families. A captured Serb soldier in Sarajevo, the capital, has told journalists that men in his unit were ordered to rape. The soldier, Borislav Herak, admitted violating two Muslim women at a “rape motel” outside Sarajevo and then killing them.
As many as 500,000 women have been raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo since it plunged into an ongoing civil war in 1996

You are clearly admitting that this is a real problem among these refugees, otherwise there would be no reason to suggest education for these people.

I have seen people in the Cologne thread refer to the alleged offendors as "Muslims", even though there is absolutely no evidence at all that the offendors were even religious, so why say that if there isn't a conscious effort by those people being made to try to get others to associate the assaults with Islam?
Of all the news articles that have been posted in this thread and the Cologne thread, I didn't read a single one that made reference to Islam or Muslims, so why try to bring that into the discussion?
Even now, you're quoting my comment and specifically referring to Muslims multiple times, when I made no mention of Muslims in the first place. Why are you trying to bring religion into this?

This question is irrelevant, because hysterical threads on ATS aren't created by aryan xenophobes when white skinned people do that sort of thing to others. There aren't any threads available for me to suggest this in, and it's not because people who aren't from the Middle East don't commit these sorts of mass crimes too.

WELL, now that you bring it up, have you ever heard of the "White Eagles" paramilitary group? They were formed by white Christian Serbians, and during the Bosnian War of 1992-1995, they were ordered by their Christian leaders to embark on one of the biggest rape and ethnic-cleansing sprees in history. Here's some juicy details for you:
The rapes in Bosnia: A Muslim schoolgirl’s account
And so Jasna, who said she had never had a boyfriend, tried to stop crying as she was raped. According to the Bosnian government, more than 30,000 women have been raped in this former Yugoslav republic’s nine-month-old war, with some of the victims as young as 12.

Nobody on ATS has created a thread about this, what a surprise, is it because the offendors are white and/or Christian?
Oh, there's also this too:
The War on Congo's Women
As many as 500,000 women have been raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo since it plunged into an ongoing civil war in 1996
The militias doing the raping in the Congo are CHRISTIAN militias such as the "Lord's Resistance Army" and the "National Congress for the Defence of the People".
Did you know that Laurent Nkunda the founder and leader of the "National Congress for the Defence of the People" is a Christian preacher and an Ordained Minister? No, of course you don't, and you don't care anyway because he's not a Muslim, right?

Okay, how about I put it on record in this comment, since there is no thread in existence?
Non-refugee Christian Serbians need to be educated and taught that raping and killing Muslim Bosnian women is wrong.
You have a join date of January 10, 2016. All but 3 of your 38 posts are in threads directly relating to recent events in Europe.
You have an agenda, and this agenda is made obvious by the things you say, and the threads you are saying it in.

Its because the SJWs turn it around and say its just a bunch of racist liars. I just don't understand how feminists especially aren't speaking out as much as they do about... everything (militant feminists)
Of the cases reported to the police, the assaulter and the assaulted normally know each other and only in one in every four reported cases is the assaulter a stranger. In almost all the cases, the suspected perpetrator is a male. In the harassment experienced by men, the perpetrator was usually the same age as the harassed, while in the cases of harassment experienced by women, the perpetrator was normally around the same age or older than the victim.
According to a study done by Martti Lehti et al (2014), 28 percent of the suspects for crimes associated with rape were first generation immigrants while second generation immigrants formed a little less than 1 percent. The number of crimes per immigrant who lives in Finland is almost eight times as high as that of native Finns when looking at rape related crimes. It was also stated that the immigrants originating from Africa and Middle East commit the highest levels of crimes, with the level being seventeen times as high as that of native Finns. The offenses committed by the immigrant groups most often target the natives of the area.
Most cases of any kind crimes related with violence are overwhelmingly related to alcohol with 60 percent of violent crimes being committed while under the influence of alcohol and with about 86 percent of incest abuse cases occurring when the abuser was intoxicated."

Jeez your really grasping at strawmans.
So you are saying that many of the ME cultures don't subjugate woman legally? That there is no issue here to adress?
I think you are part of an agenda too.
There are only a few ME moderate Muslim nations in regard to gender equality. Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. The rest including north African countries allow woman to be abused culturally and legally. Are all the amnesty and human rights watch workers also xenophobic ? Or are they trying to bring awareness to human rights problems.
Just because other people or cultures rape does not change the problem that many ME versions of Islam do I'm fact subjugate woman. The actual government punished woman for being raped. A woman was just whipped 400 times in Saudia Arabia for being raped because she wasn't with a man.
There are plenty of Modern Muslims and modern Muslim social constructs but even Muslims know their is a problem and are trying to change their culture and country. (Like Indonesia ). But ignoring and pretending the problem isn't there is dangerous to the refugees who want a better life and want to assimilate and to the reformers in their own countries.
I studied music from a Sufi from Lebanon. He thought the culture in much of the middle East was barbaric.
Now that the fears of the public have had some verification the backlash is happening. The problem should be examined from an anthropological and sociological perspective to help deal with it. It shouldn't be ignored, marginalized, and called a hoax.

How is that in any way grasping at straws?
You're just reading what you want to read, and ignoring the rest.
My entire post was a direct contradiction to someone trying to persecute a single religion, yet somehow you seem to think I am talking about an entire region of the world?
I've never tried to say that the Middle East is not an oppressive and abusive place. I'm well aware of what goes on in the ME, you don't have to waste energy telling me these things. Culture and Religion are not the same thing
