Germany and Europe are once again 'Islamic State' targets – DW – 08/27/2024
www.dw.com
The Solingen knife attack has sparked renewed concerns about “Islamic State” targeting Germany and Europe. Experts warn of a new wave of IS-linked violence driven by Middle East conflicts.

The attack in Solingen is just the latest example of a new wave of violence linked to the Islamic State terrorist group. Experts say the war in the Middle East is the main catalyst.

The terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the knife attack in Solingen. According to Amak, the mouthpiece of IS, the attack was carried out in “revenge for Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere” and targeted a “group of Christians.”

    ChatGPT doesn’t make up data out of thin air. All crime statistics used are from the BKA. Here’s the rest of stats normalized by the population size

      Numbers don’t even seem to add up, or something strongly changed between 2007 and 2010.

      Also, you’re either a troll or a very incompetent researcher. You should absolutely never ever rely on LLMs to serve you any factual data. LLMs are highly prone to hallucinations.

      Here’s an actual paper on the issue: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167268123001713

      Generally, the migrant crime rate increased in 2008-2014, but then decreased throughout 2015-2019. In total, the change averages to about zero.

      As per reasoning, two primary forces are demonstrated: on one hand, poorer material conditions, and on the other, the fear of being deported. In 2015-2019, during refugee crisis, being sent back could mean essential death sentence, which shifted the balance. All of this is to say that we should improve material conditions for migrants if we want the crime rates among them to drop further. Instead, it is currently done under threats of deportation.

      The only thing left unanswered for me is sexual violence. But in Germany, the difference between natives and locals is not as big as to justify mass measures against an entirety of migrant population.

          Maybe you should’ve read it too…

          First page:

          7.4% of all registered suspects were immigrants (2021: 7.1%)

          4.9% of all registered victims were immigrants (2021: 5.2%)

          The number of refugees had also barely risen between 2016 (1.5M at end of refugee “crisis”) and 2021 (1.7M), but jumped to 2.8M with 1M coming from Ukraine.

          Additionally, the document isn’t good as it keeps mixing up “immigrants” and “refugees”, so you never know if it’s talking about some dude from Spain or a dude from Syria.

          Page 38: (can’t link to image for some reason with fedia)

          I’m also guessing TVZ means something like immigrant or refugee or something?

          Solved crime cases against life (murder?)

          | year | total | including at least on TVZ | | 2018 | 3007 | 430 (14,3%) | | 2019 | 2751 | 357 (13,0%) | | 2020 | 2947 | 370 (12,6%) | | 2021 | 2635 | 366 (13,9%) | | 2022 | 2732 | 332 (12,2%) |

          The number of crimes (and those committed by “TVZ”) is dropping despite the number of immigrants/refugees increasing.

          Dude, stop using ChatGPT and actually a document by yourself once in a while.
