The conclusion is telling.....

"....Finding an effective remedy always needs to be preceded by a careful analysis of the causes. Taking into account the background of the perpetrators is a necessity, however uncomfortable. Whoever addresses the topic, however, walks a thin line. Conservatives like Ms. Klöckner carefully weave in allusions to the “Decline of the West.” “What will our country look like in 20 years,” she asks, “given hundreds of thousands of young men who live in our country and have never heard of women’s rights?” This sort of rhetoric is a dog whistle to the far right, even though Ms. Klöckner and others deny it. But to be fair, nuance is very hard to convey in a public discourse that is extremely polarized and characterized by mutual fearmongering and trivialization. And yet it is important that feminists try to walk this line and start to take seemingly impossible positions: defending the religious freedom of Muslim women who want to wear head scarves, while helping girls who are forced to do so, and addressing the fact that some men newly immigrated from Arab countries hold misogynist views — while stressing this is probably not the key factor that leads to crimes against women. In this position, liberal feminists will never look like they are right. But they will be right."

So.............. rape and murder committed by a person coming from a society which is riff with sexism is somehow not so bad as a rape and murder by someone raised in Germany?

But feminists have been telling us for years how our WESTERN SOCIETIES are filled with misogynists who don't treat women with respect. Does that mean we should all get a pass for these horrific crimes? Since when does the the country of their birth somehow excuse barbaric behavior?

Liberals have turned ignoring the elephant in the room into an art form.
