[QUOTE]Nearly 10 attacks were made on migrants in Germany every day in 2016, the interior ministry says.
A total of 560 people were injured in the violence, including 43 children.
Three-quarters of the attacks targeted migrants outside of their accommodation, while nearly 1,000 attacks were on housing.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to open up Germany to people fleeing conflict and persecution has polarised the country and boosted hate crime.
Germany is struggling with a backlog of asylum applications and there are fears about security following a series of terrorist attacks across Europe.
But the number of asylum seekers arriving in Germany in 2016 was 280,000, a drop of more than 600,000 from the previous year, following the closure of the Balkan migrant route and an EU deal with Turkey.
The issue is expected to feature heavily in parliamentary elections this September.
Sunday's interior ministry figures, which are preliminary, were released in response to a parliamentary question.
There was no comparison with previous years because attacks against individual migrants only started to be counted as a separate category in 2016.[/QUOTE]
Christ, that's insane numbers.
Well, if this isn't solid proof that immigrants cause more crime, I don't know what is. Roughly 36.500 individual cases of crimes involving immigrants in a single year? None of this would have happened if those poor right-wing extremists didn't have anyone to commit hate-crimes against!
Good job everybody who wrote and shared those articles that inspired such violence

Even children are being attacked and a particularly high number too, considering the proportion(children refugee population is around 20% of the total refugee population).
Oh BBC, that picture in the article.
That picture was taken in Bad Homburg just a few weeks ago and the fire was very likely caused by a refugee who lighted a mattress on fire.
So one can assume these statistics also include refugee on refugee violence, else they wouldn't use that picture. Ooooooor they are actively trying to mislead people.

Check your maths.
These attacks are disgusting, but the fact that children are being hurt as well is reprehensible.

Or maybe they just didn't give enough of a fuck to properly research the image and just took the first one that looks like a burning asylum home?
"immigrants are raising crime around" No shit, if you are the one who attack first, don't lament over immigrants for crime. At least most of the time.

The sad thing is that some people here (i.e. Germany, not FP) actually argue like that.
Every single one of those attacks is retarded. All you do is just adding fuel to the fire. This is not helping anyone, including the "outraged natives".
But since we're into statistics posting business, I wonder how does this look like in comparison the number of crimes committed by immigrants?
[QUOTE=Yellowamoeba;51881203]Check your maths.[/QUOTE]
100 attacks a day = 100 * 365 = 36.500 attacks. Roughly.

Reminds me of the argument that transgenders are disproportionally involved in sex crimes, excluding the one little detail that they're the victim more often than not.
