Some of you really have to get better at closely reading and following the logic of other posters. This isn't the corner bar. We're supposed to be rational people here whether we're discussing genetics and history or news stories.
I never questioned that there seem to have been multiple incidents of sexual harassment during these celebrations. There also seems to be little doubt that the majority of the perpetrators were of either North African or Middle Eastern descent. Cultural differences have their part to play in all of this, as does the fact that absolutely no screening of these "refugees" from not only the Middle East but North Africa and Afghanistan was done. There's probably a good chance that criminal elements entered Europe as well as bona fide refugees, not to mention the occasional terrorist.
However, I've yet to see actual data as to the exact number of incidents that are "proven" to have occurred by type of contact and with the geographical origin of the perpetrators, if possible, broken out.
In situations like this people will respond to such reports by highlighting the aspects of the situation which support their own agenda. That does a dis-service to the women who actually suffered these sexual assaults.
My point is and was that these complaints have to be thoroughly and objectively investigated by professional law enforcement people. That's what having a civilized society ruled by law rather than by mob means. If you don't trust your own police, call in people from international agencies. Then, let the chips fall where they may...
@Alan,
Some of this may indeed be the responsibility of some recent immigrants from the Near East. There's without question a different attitude and behavior with regard to women. From the behavior I've seen by Moroccans in Italy and Afghan refugees here I absolutely don't doubt reports of their involvement and the fact that they may have committed the majority of them. However, we need data from objective investigations, not the trading of anecdotes.
However, if you think that this anti-Near Eastern, indeed anti-immigration in general sentiment, and especially as to immigration from more "southern" parts of the world including southern Europe wasn't always there in a lot of people and just bubbling under the surface ready to explode, then you've been kidding yourself.
these are the stats released today for Köln new years eve harrasments
http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/960/Buiten...tm_campaign=socialredactie&utm_content=nieuws
821 reports from 1049 victims, 80 % women
of them there are 359 sexual delicts, of which 126 group rapes
only 30 suspects have been identified, all of them from North-African origin,
15 of them are asylum seekers, 2 are minor boys/men in age
these are only the reported cases in Köln, I know of Belgian women who got harassed and didn't go back to Germany to report
there are also other cities in Germany with hundreds of similar reports
these are not definitive numbers yet, but I hope that by now you can get an idea of the extent
by now there is no more doubt about the background and the ethnicity of the purportrators
as well as the limited number that will get punishment if any
it is something unseen in Europe and neither police nor justice are able to act against it
it is very clear that allowing this big incontrollable influx of refugees by Merkel was a big mistake
it is unbelievable that someone with so much power can make such naive mistakes
if your Dutch is not so good, you can read it in German too, with a detailes list of the 821 reports :

oh, and this is the reaction by an imam in Köln : all these women that got raped are guilty themselves, the way they acted and were clothed and wearing perfume, it is normal they were raped
