Migrants and Crime in Europe in the Twenty-First Century

Migrant Crime and Violence in Europe

In my previous articles entitled Migrants stuck in hopeless situation at EU border in Bosnia : who is to blame? and Should the large influx of migrants into the EU countries be encouraged? I discussed about the European migrant crisis and its impact on the EU countries. Although I am not a citizen of the EU, I feel sad for the EU countries each time I watch videos about migrant boats arriving on the shores of Italy, Spain and Greece. I just couldn't help wondering how many EU citizens would be their next victims. Can Europe cope with the large influx of migrants? Do they really deserve protection? Should Europe continue to take in a significant number of migrants every year? What will happen to its own citizens? Will migrants threaten their personal safety? Is it still safe for young ladies to travel alone in European countries that have taken in lots of migrants? It should be noted that the word "migrants" is used instead of "refugees" because the majority of them are fake refugees who are looking for a better life in Europe and don't deserve asylum. Knowing that they will receive generous benefits in Europe, they will do anything to get there. Once they get there, they will not leave because only Europe will give them free lunch. In Denmark, for example, Syrian refugees are refusing to leave even though Syria is safe now. Leaving Denmark would mean that there is no more free lunch for them. They would also have to work hard in their homeland. (Please read Justice for Denmark: The Other Side of the Deportation Story).

With the mass exodus of millions of migrants to Europe every year, crime is inevitable as it is impossible to do a background check on them. Migrants are smart people and they would lie about their names, ages, and nationalities so that they could benefit from the leniency of the juvenile justice system. Some would even mutilate themselves to disguise their fingerprints so that their past would be concealed forever. A parliamentary report reveals that Up to 91.6% of unaccompanied minors in France could be adults. These 'ultraviolent' underage migrants are causing havoc in French prisons and juvenile detention centres. According to a study in Belgium, 73% of its 'underage' asylum seekers are actually adults. Similarly, 86 Per Cent of Recently Tested ‘Underage’ Migrants in Sweden Are Actually Adults. Irrespective of whether they are adults or minors, migrants have been involved in a number of sex attacks and murders in their host countries. Given such circumstances, is it safe to welcome them to Europe? 

According to the Danish Ministry of Justice, reported rapes linked to migrant influx have increased by 196% since June 2015. Concerns rise as men of Pakistani origin found sexually assaulting women in Greece with alarming frequency. The sad truth is, there has been a spike in crime in the once peaceful countries like Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and France. Migrants may be responsible for most of a recent rise in violent crime in Germany, research commissioned by the government suggests. Using data from Lower Saxony, the study conducted by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences has shown that more than 90% of the increased crime rate was attributable to young male migrants. Germany's reported knife crimes have also increased by 600% within four years, from 2013 to 2016. With the Syrian population estimated at 800,000, Syrians are the most likely to commit acts of violence in Germany. In Sweden, migrant gangs are taking over the role of police in Gothenburg. A Swedish daily newspaper, Aftonbladet, writes , "Murders, shootings and knife attacks are every day occurrences in Gothenburg for the past two years." And it does sound ridiculous that criminal gangs in the Stockholm suburb of Tensta had imposed curfew and threatened people with weapons to force them to stay indoor after 6 pm. Out of the 19,000 inhabitants of the district, more than 88% of them have a foreign background! There are also increasing numbers of rapes by migrants. A study published online on 22 February 2021 by Lund University has indicated that most of the convicted rapists in Sweden are migrants. In Switzerland, teenage migrants are terrorizing the country with street fights. In France, Nearly half of all criminals in Paris ghettos feature a migrant background.

Rapefugees NOT welcome: Deport them, NOT support them

When I googled for information about migrants and crime in Europe, I was shocked to find so many rape cases. Please read EUROPE AND THE MIGRANT RAPE CRISIS to find out more about the rape tactics of European rapefugees. It breaks my heart to see so many innocent white women being treated like rag dolls, raped and even murdered by sex maniacs from third world countries or better known as rapefugees. Why are there so many rapefugees in Europe? Looks like they are really enjoying their raping spree. As what Matteo Salvini wrote on Twitter after a Bangladeshi asylum seeker was arrested for raping a Finnish woman in Rome, "The refugee was busy raping. They are simply too many, and I'll send home a number of them." Yes, Matteo Salvini must send all of them away. What are the Bangladeshis doing in Europe? There is no war in Bangladesh and Bangladeshis don't deserve protection. If Bangladeshis are eligible for asylum, gamblers who are running away from loan sharks should also seek asylum in Europe because the loan sharks would kill them! Apart from rape, there are also many crimes involving bodily harm and murder committed by migrants. It seems that migrants are very skilful with a knife and they have been busy stabbing too. But why should Europe give generous benefits and protection to them when they are doing so much damage to society? The more I read about migrants and their crimes, the more I sympathize with Europe. Tears welled up in my eyes when I read German court evicts elderly couple from home to accommodate refugees and I am writing this article because I am weeping for Europe. My heart really goes out to the European countries - in the midst of the pandemic and covid recession, they are pressured to take in migrants even though it is very obvious that migrants are doing a lot of harm to their own citizens. To protect its own citizens, Europe should tighten its borders and step up migrant deportations and pushbacks. Why allow migrants to eat free and stay for free at hotels when so many citizens of Europe are living on the streets? Instead of feeling grateful to their host countries, migrants are complaining about the hotel foods that are given to them free of charge at the expense of taxpayers! Many Malaysians have to survive on Maggi instant noodles on their Europe trip to save money but they never complain. So, why are those who get everything free of charge complaining so much? The best solution is to deport them and stop supporting them. Make them pay for their food and lodging and they will disappear in no time (You may also like to read How to Get Rid of Europe's Migrant Crime Zones and White lives matter, 'even the ones being raped, stabbed and murdered').

In this article, I would like to share a list of 60 crimes (in chronological order) committed by migrants in Europe after the European Migrant Crisis in 2015. In reality, the list is unending and those who are interested to read more about migrants and the nasty things that they have done to Europe can always google for more cases on the internet as there are lots of them. Since I have gone back to school to teach and am not a lecturer in a tertiary institution anymore, I am not writing anymore research papers on crime but I hope that researchers in this field would find this article useful. To read the full crime story, you can click on the title of each case (in blue) below. Each of these stories makes me weep for Europe! 

In January 2015, an asylum seeker from Egypt, 39-year-old Mohamed Amin, who came to the UK in 2012, pretended to help his 18-year-old victim to recover her phone from a drain.

Khavari arrived in Germany in November 2015 without identification documents and was granted asylum as an unaccompanied refugee minor because he lied about his age. He had earlier been sentenced to 10 years in prison in Greece for robbing a woman and pushing her off a cliff but was released on parole after 18 months due to overcrowding in the prisons. Evidence that emerged during his rape and murder trial has shown that he actually came from Iran and could be more than 30 years old.

In February 2021, a 19-year-old Afghan refugee has been arrested for allegedly spraying a 24-year-old Swiss woman, Elise T., with acid in an underground car park in the city of Neuchatel, Switzerland. 

On 19 February 2021, a 38-year-old Sudanese migrant stabbed and killed the immigration official of a refugee center in the city of Pau after his asylum request was rejected. The 46-year-old victim was stabbed repeatedly in the throat. The assailant has been previously convicted for knife crimes.

Four North African migrants from the Maghreb region, aged 18 to 35, who arrived recently in one of Spain's Canary Islands, Gran Canaria, by boat, were arrested for allegedly raping a 36-year-old Irish woman in Puerto Rico (on the island of Gran Canaria). The rape was alleged to have taken place on 26 February 2021 in the Agua La Perra park. The tourist from Ireland, who has been living on the Canary Islands for several years, had stopped to help the young men but, within seconds, she was gang-raped.

On 3 March 2021, a 22-year-old Afghan man injured seven people in a 19-minute knife attack incident near the street of Bangardsgatan in Vetlanda, Sweden. Three of the victims were in critical and life-threatening condition. The perpetrator has been convicted of drug offences and other minor offences. He cannot speak English and speaks very little Swedish.

Should the large influx of migrants into the EU countries be encouraged?


The EU is one of the hardest hit regions by Covid-19 and, sad to say, amidst the global pandemic and looming recession, it is struggling with migrants and asylum. Millions of migrants from the Middle East, Africa and Asia have left their own countries for the EU and many are on their way. Since they cannot get into the EU legally, they have to pay people smugglers to smuggle them into the EU. However, their determination to reach Europe at all costs has created a lot of problems for the EU countries. The problem with the European migrant crisis is - most of the asylum seekers trying to get into the EU are fake refugees who are looking for a good life in the more affluent countries such as Germany, France, and Sweden. The word "migrants" is therefore a better word to describe them. And it does sound ridiculous that most of them are males aged 18 and above. As what Trump says, "Look at what's happening all over Europe. It's a mess... When you look at that migration, you see so many young, strong men. Does anyone notice that?" Well, Trump is right and it is difficult not to notice that because it is very obvious from the youtube videos that the European migrant crisis is dominated by young and strong men. But why do they have to pay a fortune to the smugglers to get them to Europe? Why can't they stay in their own countries and contribute towards their countries' progress and economic growth? If the women and children can stay in their countries of origin, why can't these young men do the same? What is their motive?

While the people smugglers are making a huge profit smuggling millions of migrants into Europe every year, the EU countries are struggling to overcome the unending migrant crisis as more and more migrants are flocking to Europe every day. The vast majority of them arrived by sea to Italy, Spain, Greece, Malta, and Cyprus even though quite a number of them have traveled to Europe over land. 2015 has seen Europe's worst refugee crisis when more than a million migrants entered the continent. Sad to say, the influx of migrants continues until today without a solution. As the major gateway to Europe for migrants, around 530,000 migrants have arrived on Italy's coasts since 2015. In 2020 alone, 34,154 migrants arrived on the Italian coast. From January to March 2021, 5,305 migrants arrived in Italy by sea. According to the UNHCR, the majority of them landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa. Located in the southernmost part of Italy, Lampedusa is a beautiful island and one of the most wonderful tourist destinations in the world. It is well-known for its numerous beaches, sparkling seas, and amazing features and is well-loved by scuba divers, nature lovers and sun bathers. Because of the influx of migrants, the tourism industry which is vital to the island has suffered losses in the past few years. Similarly, an increasing number of migrants are arriving in the Canary Islands, Spain's tourist paradise, and many of them are unaccompanied child migrants. In 2020 alone, 37,839 migrants arrived in the Spanish archipelago and 25,000 were Africans. 20,000 migrants have made it to the Canary Islands. In January 2021, more than 3200 migrants entered the Spanish territory. Like the island of Lampedusa, the Canary Islands are struggling to cope with the great influx of migrants and it seems that migrants are replacing tourists on these islands. Likewise, in Greece, migrants keep arriving by sea on the Greek islands. Many landed on the Aegean island of Lesbos despite severe overcrowding on the island. Before the fire in the Moria refugee camp on Lesbos (which the migration minister of Greece believed "began with the asylum seekers") there were about 25,000 migrants, mostly from Africa and the Middle East, living in this camp even though the camp was built to accommodate 3000 people. Due to the influx of migrants, locals have to put up with increased criminality, vandalism, and home break ins. The migrants also cut down 5000 olive trees to use as firewood, a severe attack on Greek heritage and major blow to local economy. Despite Greece's hospitality, Moria refugee camp has often been criticised  for being the worse refugee camp on earth. According to a migrant from Congo, Scotti Kele, "I don't think Europe exists anymore. Look at the condition our children are in. This is living hell." What have the migrants done to Lesbos? How did this beautiful tourist attraction turn into a living hell? "This is not a life for humans. The animals have a better life," said Anas Bakour, a 23-year-old man from Syria. If he feels that Lesbos is unfit for human habitation, what is he doing there?  Why not go back to Syria? After the fire, many migrants were relocated from Greece to Germany, France and other EU countries. Today, there are 15,000 migrants on the Aegean islands and there are plans to build five new and modern camps on the islands. The new Kara Tepe refugee camp on Lesbos is currently housing about 7800 migrants. However, this number is likely to increase rapidly in the near future as more and more migrants are arriving each day. What will happen to the tourism industry of the Greek island of Lesbos? Can it survive the migrant crisis?

Instead of crossing the sea, many migrants are taking a new route to Europe through Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the EU border in Bosnia, migrants are paying 7000 euros to smuggle themselves there with the intention to sneak across the borders illegally into Croatia. To sneak into Croatia, they are playing a cat-and-mouse game with the Croatian police and some of them have been successful in their endeavours after many attempts. However, migrants at the Bosnia camps are unhappy with their living conditions and are complaining that they are living like animals. They also blame the Croatian police for stopping them each time they try to cross the border illegally. The question is: Is it fair to blame Croatia for protecting the EU borders? To answer this question, please read Migrants stuck in hopeless situation at EU border in Bosnia : who is to blame? 

Should illegal border crossings be encouraged? Which country on Earth would open its borders wide to welcome intruders? In India, border guards can open fire on suspected intruders. To prevent the transmission of the coronavirus, North Korea has issued shoot-to-kill orders at its borders. Migrants should be grateful to the Croatian police because they did not shoot-to-kill. Croatia is only exercising its right to defend its borders against intruders. Why blame the EU countries for the migrants' uncomfortable life at the EU border in Bosnia? The EU countries do not have the obligation to take in all the freeloaders from other countries particularly during these hard times when many of their own citizens are jobless and homeless. I remember reading about14-year-old Amim Hzam from Iraq and his family who tried to sneak into Croatia forty times. About one year ago, his mother and one of his siblings managed to get through and are now in Germany but he and his father and two siblings were caught by the police and were pushed back to Bosnia. According to Hzam, "I need mama, I need school but Croatian police say go back to Bosnia." He also said that he felt sad when his mother called from Germany. The question is - If his mother really cares for him, why did she leave him behind? There are lots of schools in Iraq and there is no need for him to go to Germany to attend school. If he wants to attend school in Germany, he should enter the country legally instead of trying to sneak across the borders. Can anyone imagine what will happen if everyone who wants to study in Germany sneaks into Croatia with the intention to claim asylum in Germany? Due to the new covid variants, many countries have imposed entry bans for travelers and the fact that this family is still trying to sneak into the EU clearly shows how selfish these people are. There is always the possibility that they may be carrying and spreading the new covid variants thus putting the lives of the EU citizens at risk. In a way, this story also reminds Croatia to invest more in border security and further reduce illegal entries because the migrants are too smart for them. 

Because of their hospitality and generosity in accepting migrants, the EU countries are having a difficult time trying to manage the migrant crisis and given the overwhelming numbers of migrants, "it's really a mess" (as what Trump says). Knowing that they would have a good life in Europe with lots of generous benefits, migrants do not mind facing desperate journeys over land and sea to reach Europe. Countless migrants have made successful illegal entries into Europe and millions will walk in their footsteps. Taking in all the migrants is not the solution to the European migrant crisis as this would entice a mass exodus of migrants to the EU. If the EU takes in 1 million migrants, another million will follow and this situation can go on forever. When this happens, the EU will have an even greater problem, i.e., population explosion, because these migrants are breeding much faster than rabbits. What would happen to the EU following a mass exodus of migrants from the Middle East, Africa and Asia? Would Paris turn into an Algerian City? Would Frankfurt turn into a Turkish City? Would London turn into a Pakistani City? Would EU turn into MENA? Would there be more offenders and more crimes?


Migrants and Explosive Population Growth

The Middle East, North Africa and countries in South Asia such as Bangladesh and Pakistan have relatively high birth rates. According to the International Strategic Analysis, by the year 2050, the Middle East and North Africa is forecast to have a larger population than Europe. With a growth rate of about 2.4%, Syria has one of the highest population growth in the world and it is estimated that its population would double in about 30 years (based on a report from the United Nations). Like Syria, Afghanistan's population is also increasing rapidly and the UN forecasts that it will double in the next 15 years from around 38 million. Yemen is expected to double its population in 20 years and is likely to have more than 50 million people by 2050 (The Future of Yemen by Helen Lackner). According to The Arab Weekly, the population in Iraq, Sudan and the Palestinian Territories is likely to double from 2015-2050. With a population of 42 million currently, Algeria is estimated to have a population of 72.4 million by 2050. A report from the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) in Washngton has shown that Africa's population will double and reach 2.5 billion by 2050. Morocco's total population has increased by 180% over the past 50 years (as stated in World Population Review). A UN report projected that Nigeria will become the world's third most populous country with a population of 300 million by 2050. Like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries, Bangladesh and Pakistan are struggling with population explosion. Bangladesh is the seventh largest country in the world in population. A United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report projected that its population will reach between 230-250 million by 2050. Pakistan is the fifth most populous country in the world. Its current population is 223,843,061 (as of 12 March 2021) and with a growth rate of 2.2, its population will double in 32 years. With the drastic increase in birth rates, youth unemployment, food and water shortages, poverty, crime, housing problems, lack of resources, negative economic outcomes, ecological degradation, unequal access to medical care and education are inevitable in poor countries. Since population growth is highest in the countries that are ill-equiped to deal with demographic explosion, migrant exodus from these high population countries to the more affluent countries is sure to happen and has thus contributed to the European migrant crisis. What will happen to Europe if more and more people from poor and overpopulated countries were to claim asylum in the EU and continue to breed at high speed in their host countries? What will happen next if they breed until there is no more space to breed in the EU countries? Where else can they smuggle themselves? The US, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand?


Migrants and Crime in the EU Countries

Following the mass exodus of millions of migrants to the EU countries every year, crime is inevitable as it is not possible to do a background check on them. Migrants are smart people who know how to lie about their true identities and may end up with several names, ages, and nationalities. Some would even go to the extent of mutilating themselves to disguise their finger prints in order to conceal their sordid past. According to a parliamentary report, up to 91.6% of unaccompanied minors in France could be adults. Sad to say, these 'ultraviolent ' underage migrants are causing havoc in French prisons and juvenile detention centers. In Belgium, a study has indicated that 73% of its 'underage' asylum seekers are actually adults. Similarly, in Sweden, 86% of its 'underage' migrants are actually adults. These smart people really know how to take advantage of the leniency of the juvenile justice system! But, is it safe to welcome them to Europe? 

The sad truth is, many peaceful EU countries have seen a big increase in crimes following the large influx of migrants. In Switzerland, teenage migrants are terrorizing the country with street fights. In Germany, police statistics show that murder and manslaughter are mostly committed by asylum seekers. From 2013 to 2016, Germany's reported knife crimes have increased by 600%. In Belgium, buses are diverted from Brussels migrant quarter over violence threat. In the Molenbeek district, known for its heavy migrant population, buses have been repeatedly pelted with stones. But why aren't these gangsters arrested and deported? Why allow them to create problems in the country? Similarly, in Sweden, migrant gangs are taking over the role of the police in Gothenburg and criminal gangs in the Stockholm suburb of Tensta had imposed curfew and threatened inhabitants to stay indoors after 6 pm.  According to Aftonbladet, a Swedish daily newspaper, murders, shootings, and knife attacks are common occurences in Gothenburg for the past two years. Well, what else can we expect from the migrant gangs? What is happening to Tensta is also nothing surprising since 88% of its inhabitants have a foreign background! However, it was difficult not to feel depressed when I read How Sweden became a gangsters' paradise: Europe's most liberal country welcomed Middle Eastern refugees five years ago... but now it is being terrorised by migrant mafia clans - with police and politically correct government powerless. It really hurts me to see such a beautiful country turning into a gangster's paradise. Why are these gangsters still allowed to stay in Sweden? Why not send them back to their countries of origin? That is the only way to save Sweden. The great Polish politician, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, was right - the great influx of migrants can turn out to be uncontrollable. In fact, the actual situation is worse than what he predicted in 2015! Luckily Poland refused to take in refugees or it would end up being the next gangsters' paradise. I am proud to say that Poland is the safest country in Europe today.

As the EU countries are trying to help migrants, they should also be concerned about the safety of their own citizens. The Glasgow stabbings incident at a 91-room hotel housing about 100 asylum seekers on 26 June 2020 was a good lesson for the EU. The male suspect, Badreddin Abadlla Adam from Sudan, has been shot dead by the police after going on a stabbing spree injuring six people in the Park Inn Hotel, Glasgow, because he was not happy with the conditions at the hotel. But why let him stay in the hotel when many locals are sleeping on the streets? Is this the way migrants repay the kindness of their host countries?  On 19 February 2021, the immigration official in the city of Pau, was stabbed repeatedly in the throat and killed by a Sudanese migrant after his asylum status was rejected. Since migrants can turn out to be so violent (particularly if they do not get what they want), special precautions should be taken by the relevant authorities to prevent them from doing any harm to the EU citizens.

Perhaps those who volunteer to help migrants should be alert at all times as it is dfficult to predict what the migrants could do to them. On 25 January 2016, 22-year-old Alexandra Mezher, who was working at a shelter for juvenile asylum seekers in the city of Molndal, Sweden, was stabbed to death by a Somalian migrant who claimed to be 15. However, medical examination to determine his age after the attack has shown that he was at least 18. On 31 July 2016, an asylum seeker believed to be from Libya, stabbed a 70-year-old priest, Jos Vanderlee, with a knife as the priest was making coffee for him. The priest had earlier allowed him to take a shower in his house. On 15 September 2020, an Italian priest, 51-year-old Father Roberto Malghesi, who was well-known for his devotion to migrants, was stabbed repeatedly to death by a 53-year-old illegal immigrant from Tunisia, Mahmoudi Ridha. Father Roberto brought hot breakfasts to the migrants every morning and at the time he was killed he was supposed to serve breakfast to them. The Tunisian citizen displayed no remorse even though Father Malghesi has helped him a lot. According to him, "The priest died like a dog." In another case, Jean Dussine, a 63-year-old prominent French migrant activist, was bludgeoned to death at his home in Bretteville, on 12 May 2020, by a migrant from Afghanistan. The victim headed a local migrants assistance organisation called 'Itinerance' and had been hosting migrants at his house.

It seems that knife attacks are common among migrants and even their teenagers are very skilful with a knife. On 11 January 2016, a 15-year-old Lithuanian boy, Arminas Pileckas, was stabbled to death at a school in Southern Sweden by his 14-year-old Syrian refugee classmate. He was murdered with a single stab to the heart from behind by a kitchen knife. On 18 August 2017, an 18-year-old Moroccan asylum seeker, Abderrahman Bouanane, was shot in the leg before his arrest for his involvement in a knife attack in Turku, Finland, that killed two Finnish women and injured eight other people. At the time he was arrested, he was using a false identity, Abderrahman  Mechkah. Four other Moroccan men were also detained by the police. On 27 December 2017, an Afghan asylum seeker who had been denied refugee status, Abdul Mobin Dawodzai, followed his German ex-girlfriend, 15-year-old Mia Valentin, into a drugstore and stabbed her seven times in the heart with a 20 cm knife, in the town of Kandel in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The murderer claimed that he was only 15 years old but the age assessment that was carried out concluded that he was at least 17 and a half but most likely around 20 years old. However, he was tried as a minor.

Rapefugees Not Welcome: Rape is a traumatic experience and recovery can be very painful for the victims. The European migrant crisis in 2015 has been followed by the migrant rape crisis where girls have been assaulted, raped, and murdered by migrants over the years.

Migrant sex attacks are common occurrences in the EU countries particularly after the mass migrant exodus in 2015 when 1.5 million sought asylum in Europe. Many of us can never forget the sex attacks in Cologne, Germany, during the 2015-2016 New Year's Eve Celebration. As the world was waiting for the arrival of the New Year, 1200 women were mobbed, sexually assaulted and raped by Arab and North African asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. Sex attacks also took place in other cities in German including Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hanover and Main but the Cologne attacks were the most serious. The New Year sex assaults were also reported in Austria, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. However, the migrant rape crisis did not just stop there but continues to happen from time to time across Europe.

Gang rape is one of the most commonly reported cases involving migrants. On 5 February 2016, Belgian police found a video about six men gang-raping an unconscious girl and five of them were Iraqi migrants. On 14 June 2017, a 13-year-old girl was gang-raped in Vasteras, a city in central Sweden, by three Somalis until her genital burst. On 13 October 2018, an 18-year-old woman was gang raped in the bushes outside Freiburg's Hans-Bunte-Areal nightclub by 10 men, eight of them were Syrian refugees. The woman was helpless and defenseless because her drink had been spiked by a 22-year-old Syrian Kurd. On 26 February 2021, a 36-year-old Irish woman was gang-raped by four North African migrants in Puerto Rico on the island of Gran Canaria when she stopped to help them. 

Even children are not spared and are targeted by migrants who are looking for sex. On 2 December 2015, a 10 year-old boy was raped by an Iraqi refugee, Amir A, at the Theresienbad swimming pool in Vienna.  The perpetrator claimed that it was a 'sexual emergency'. A 14-year-old German girl, Susanna Maria Feldman, was raped and killed on the night of 22 May 2018, by 21-year-old Ali Bashar Ahmad Zebari, an Iraqi asylum seeker. Police found the remains of the victim buried in a shallow grave near the Lanches Railway line in early June. On 15 April 2020, a 39-year-old Somali migrant, Ahmed M., dragged a 9-year-old girl into a bush and raped her as she was walking home from school. He was prematurely released from prison on parole for raping a 12-year-old girl in 2017. The sex attacks have taken place in Norrkoping, a city in eastern Sweden.

It seems that migrant teen boys are as sexually active as the adults and are not left out when it comes to rape. On 19 February 2016, a 16-year-old  Afghan asylum seeker raped a catering worker at an asylum center in Menen, Belgium, two weeks after attending a course on how to treat Western Women. The teenager followed his victim from a catering firm into the basement and raped her. In October 2016, five unaccompanied refugee minors from Afghanistan, aged 16-17, dragged a 15-year-old boy into a wooded area near the city of Uppsala and gang-raped him at knife-point for more than an hour. The victim was also bitten, beaten, and spat on. A 15-year-old Italian girl was raped by two unaccompanied minors on Lignano beach, in northeastern Italy, on 15 August 2020, while the third stood by and watched. They were aged between 16 and 17; two were Albanians and one was Egyptian. 

Rape and murder sometimes go hand in hand particularly if the victim is found to be alone in the early hours of the morning. On 13 July 2020, a Syrian refugee was charged with the rape and murder of a 24-year-old French mother, Johanna Blanes. The victim's body was found beneath a railway line in Saint-Pierre-du-mont, at around 6.00 a.m., hours after she left a nightclub to return home. She was strangled after being raped and had been beaten in the head and neck. Her case is very similar to the case of 19-year-old Maria Ladenburger, a medical student from Freiburg, who was raped, strangled and drowned in the river Dreisam by Hussein Khavari, who claimed to be from Afghanistan, on 16 October 2016. Maria Ladenburger was attacked on her way home from a party hosted by the university medical faculty in the early hours of the morning. Her attacker, who claimed that he was 17, was taken in as an unaccompanied minor and was placed with a foster family. However, evidence that emerged during his trial showed that he was actually from Iran and could be more than 30 years old!

These are just some of the sickening crimes committed by migrants in Europe. To find out more about the crimes that they have committed in their host countries, please read Migrants and Crime in Europe in the Twenty-First Century. You will be shocked by these horrific crimes committed by them.


The Solution

To stop the mass exodus of millions of migrants to Europe every year, the EU should step up deportation and stop supporting them. Migrants should only be given temporary residence permits and when the conditions in their home countries improve, they should leave. Granting them citizenship and supporting them forever is a drain on the country's resources. This is particularly true if their only contribution is making babies. The sad truth is, apart from busy making babies, they are also busy raping and committing crimes. Given such circumstances, one cannot deny the fact that deportation is the best solution to the European migrant exodus before they go out of control. Recently, Denmark has been doing a good job as it has become the first European country to deport Syrian refugees. Now that Damascus and its surrounding areas are safe, there is no need to support the Syrians anymore as it is time for them to return home and rebuild their countries. Well done, Denmark. Those who love Europe are proud of you. Looks like the other EU countries should emulate Denmark if they wish to regain their former glory. Not only Syrians but all those fake refugees, rapefugees, murderers and criminals from MENA and South Asia should be deported as well. 

Instead of giving them welfare payments and other generous benefits, migrants should be made to pay for their upkeep so that they won't complain about the hotels where they are staying for free and the nutritious foods that they are eating free of charge at the expense of the taxpayers. Once they learn that there is no such thing as a free lunch, they will disappear automatically. To stem its decline in population, the EU does not have to take in aggressive males from third world countries who would bring chaos, destruction, and fear to its people. Instead of wasting so much money on migrants, why not offer baby bonus to the EU citizens (without a migrant background) to boost birthrate? I am sure this would benefit lots of EU families. 

Pressuring the EU countries to accept migrants at a time when Europe is plunged into a deep covid recession is a great injustice to them. The EU migrant exodus cannot solve the problems of overpopulation, poverty, and joblessness in the migrants' countries of origin. If there are problems in these counries, their leaders should work together to overcome these problems so that their citizens can live better lives. Making babies after the first period right up to menopause can endanger women's health. Having lots of children when the family is financially not viable can be very stressful. Population increase also degrades ecosystems and endangers the earth. Needless to say, poverty, pollution, global warming, famine, limited resources, joblessness, and migration are inevitable in countries plagued by overpopulation and these can only be overcome through family planning NOT illegal migration. Given the many negative consequences of population explosion, perhaps it is time for the poor and overpopulated third world countries to make family planning accessible to their citizens to save themselves and the world they are living in. Most of all, they should stop giving problems to the EU who does not have the obligation to take in migrants. The EU is not responsible for what is happening in MENA.

Taking in every migrant that crosses its borders cannot solve the European migrant crisis. The EU countries should think twice before granting citizenship to migrants if they do not want to deal with population explosion in the near future. I remember watching a video about a migrant from Pakistan who said that he wanted to go to France so that he could have a good life there. No doubt life in Europe is good because there is no population explosion and there are lots of resources, opportunities, and generous benefits for everyone. But as its population increases and resources turn scarce with the influx of migrants, its citizens will soon have to apply Darwin's law, Survival of the Fittest, and compete with everyone around them for food, space, and jobs like what is happening in the poor MENA countries.
