So What Else Could He Do?

"As a refugee, it is difficult to find a girlfriend." — Asif M., a 26-year-old asylum seeker from Pakistan, in court on charges he raped one woman and attempted to rape five others.

[The actual number of migrant-related sex crimes in Germany is at least two or three times higher than the official number. — André Schulz, head of the Criminal Police Association.]

So What Else Could He Do?



Stop making pathetic attempts to excuse his crimes and accept his punishment.

Eddie......I didn't see your post before it was removed, but i was going to say the same thing as i thought it would have been an appropriate comment.
Seems we were both wrong.

I am sure that is not what Khandro was getting it, but as usual you cut through the periphery and get straight to the point.

Excuse me while I have a lie down and try to fathom that one out.

Coming from Pakistan as he does means, he is not a refugee but an economic migrant.

It raises a broader issue, something everyone should have started thinking about when seeing the first images of those hordes of young men pouring into Europe in their hundreds of thousands with almost no young women among them, from Muslim countries where they have not even seen a woman's ankle before. They are lustful and view all European women as wanton, hence the appalling behaviour as the attacks in Germany, in which mobs harass women in a "rape game" known as "taharrush gamea" (Arabic for "collective sexual harassment").

P.S. Anyone seeing my headline as an 'excuse' is in bad need of an irony test.

A lot of answers get removed around here. There must be some very naughty posters.

[andy-hughes]

Samjenko - because you are new here (welcome by the way!) you should be aware that references to removed posts are also removed by the Editor or the Moderators.

[Samjenko]

Glad you said that, Andy. Now if my post does get removed, people will still know what I was talking about. ;-)

[Samjenko]

BTW. Thanks for the welcome.

Playing devil's advocate, and sarcasm used well, can make excellent points and be humourous into the bargain. Not everyone seems to pick up on it though.

I like your headline, Khandro.

he was verballed wasnt he?

A few years ago some gormless teenage lads were asked why they had chucked a lad who couldnt swim into a pond and watch him drown and one answered; 'because it was funny'. I mean for chrissakes wasnt there a responsible adult around to tell him to keep his mouth shut ?

does this apply to everyone ( sort of general purpose)
or only some people

like Sgt Blackman .....

No - - I thought not

[Mamyalynne]

It refers to the man in the post we are discussing Peter, does that clear it up for you?

[Mamyalynne]

It's very kind of you to decide what my opinions are on Sgt Blackman - however I do wish you wouldn't as I haven't offered them.
