REFUGEE ACTIVISTS WORRY ANTI-RAPE LAWS WILL HURT MUSLIM MIGRANTS

REFUGEE ACTIVISTS WORRY ANTI-RAPE LAWS WILL HURT MUSLIM MIGRANTS

 
This is one of those clarifying moments that show what the left really stands for. The left claims to fight for women. It claims to want gay rights. And yet Muslims come first. They always come first.
After mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year's Eve, the German Parliament voted Thursday in favor of a stricter sexual-assault law that also could ease deportation rules for refugees convicted of sex-related offenses.
The changes appear aimed at two overlapping targets: closing legal loopholes over sexual assaults amid complaints that German codes are too lax and addressing mounting public backlash after the country absorbed the bulk of the wave of migrants and refugees from the Middle East and beyond last year.
But some lawmakers and activists oppose linking the two issues, claiming it could further stigmatize refugees and others as German public opinion increasingly turns against them.
Further stigmatize them... after the mass rapes that they carried out in which 2,000 men assaulted 1,200 women. This was the sexual assault equivalent of 9/11.
The parliamentary vote came on the same day that a court in Cologne sentenced two men in the New Year's Eve assaults. Iraqi national Hussein A., 21, and Algerian Hassan T., 26, were handed suspended one-year sentences. They were the first suspects to be convicted over the assaults. Both had arrived in Germany in the past two years, a court spokesman said.
They got off with a slap on the wrist. But let's not stigmatize them.
Bernward Ostrop, an expert on asylum law at the Berlin office of the Catholic charity Caritas, said Germany's new sex assault law would most probably not make the country safer and was instead meant to send a message to voters. "We already have very good possibilities to deport persons who have committed crimes," Ostrop said.
Yes, that would be why Hassan and Hussein got suspended one-year sentences.
Opposition politicians and activists have argued that amending the law to make it easier to deport foreign nationals guilty of sexual offenses could create the impression that foreigners are more likely to commit such crimes, stoking tensions further.
I wonder what could possibly create that impression?
A. The fact that it's true
B. The fact that it's true
or
C. The time that 2,000 Muslims sexually assault 1,200 women in one day
Halina Wawzyniak, a lawmaker from the Left Party, said that she was generally in favor of stronger sexual-assault laws but that sex assaults and immigration should not be linked.
Wawzyniak said she feared that the new law could lead to "disproportionate" sanctions for relatively minor offenses by asylum seekers and that they could face a "double punishment" by being deported.
This is the left. Remember that. They pretend to be feminists, but they put Muslim rapists over female victims.
