Germany's Migrant Rape Crisis Spirals out of Control
Suppression of data about migrant rapes is "Germany-wide phenomenon."by Soeren Kern • August 9, 2016 at 5:00 am
Germany's migrant rape crisis has now spread to cities and towns in all 16 of Germany's federal states. Germany now finds itself in a vicious circle: most of the perpetrators are never found, and the few who are frequently receive lenient sentences. Only one in 10 rapes in Germany is reported and just 8% of rape trials result in convictions, according to Minister of Justice Heiko Maas.
Up to 90% of the sex crimes committed in Germany in 2014 do not appear in the official statistics, according to André Schulz, the head of the Association of Criminal Police.
"There are strict instructions from the top not to report offenses committed by refugees. It is extraordinary that certain offenders are deliberately NOT being reported about and the information is being classified as confidential." -- High-ranking police official in Frankfurt, quoted in Bild.
Sexual violence in Germany has reached epidemic proportions since Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed into the country more than one million mostly male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The government has been facing a rising voter backlash to the open-door migration policy, including public protests (left). In some areas, authorities have distributed cartoon guides, to "educate" migrants that sexual assault is not acceptable (right).Sexual violence in Germany has reached epidemic proportions since Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed into the country more than one million mostly male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Gatestone Institute first reported Germany's migrant rape crisis in September 2015, when Merkel opened up the German border to tens of thousands of migrants stranded in Hungary. A follow-up report was published in March 2016, in the aftermath of mass attacks against German women by mobs of migrants in Cologne, Hamburg and other German cities.
Germany's migrant rape crisis has now spread to cities and towns in all 16 of Germany's federal states. Germany is effectively under siege; public spaces are becoming increasingly perilous. Police have warned about a potential breakdown of public order this summer, when young male migrants are likely to see women lightly dressed.
The Other Root of Terrorism
by Louis René Beres • August 9, 2016 at 4:00 am
For today's terrorist, whether in Paris, Orlando or Nice, the mass murder of noncombatants is a typically satisfying expiation, a scapegoating operation that brings to mind certain ritualistic processes of bloodletting, religious sacrifice and an outlet for sadistic sexual excitement. For the jihadist in particular, terror may find a ready ideological shelter in Islam, but the expressed theology is likely little more than a useful cover for acting on otherwise forbidden wishes. The ready supply of adherents only indicates how widespread these forbidden wishes are -- but have little to do with politics.
Our operational plans concerning jihadist terrorism may need to be more consciously structured as much upon the cumulative wisdom of Sigmund Freud (right), Erich Fromm and others as upon Sun-Tzu (left) or Clausewitz."Man differs from the animal by the fact that he is a killer; he is the only primate that kills and tortures members of his own species without any reason... and who feels satisfaction in doing so." — Erich Fromm, The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness.
Throughout the world, many people suffer from some form or other of mental illness. Of these, a substantial number are also inclined to various expressions of aggression. When conditions arise to dignify their irrepressible violent urges under the purifying rubric of some "higher cause" -- such as revolution, rebellion, or jihad -- some will gratefully seize upon those "exculpatory" opportunities.
Needed: Peace in Kashmir
by Jagdish N. Singh • August 9, 2016 at 3:00 am
The terrorists set fire to more than 10,000 houses and destroyed huge amounts of private and public property in the state. This has left the minorities in the Kashmir Valley with no choice but to flee their homes. Today more than half a million of them are living in miserable conditions in camps in different parts of the country.
"Kashmiri Pandits are on the verge of losing their... homeland in Kashmir... the ethnic cleansing of Pandits from Kashmir...[led] to [the] forced exile of the entire minority... when Islamic insurgents committed mass massacres of Pandits in villages and hamlets throughout Kashmir." — U.S. Representative Frank Pallone, 2004.
"Whatever is happening in Kashmir is Pakistan-sponsored. The name is 'Pakistan,' [Land of the Pure] but its acts are na-pak [not pure]." — Rajnath Singh, India's Home Minister.

It was assumed, therefore, that he would be able to adopt policies and programs that would foster peace and development in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which has been troubled ever since it became part of India in 1947. The scenario in the Kashmir Valley is, however, getting no better.
In a recent discussion on the ongoing crisis in Kashmir, a prominent member of the Indian Parliament said, "This government has miserably failed to restore peace in the Valley. There is an environment of insecurity and fear."
