All very edifying, now please publish details of the last three 'public' shooting deaths and injuries which took place in the Christian land of the U.S.A. - maybe just go back as far as half a year, including the nationality of the shooters.
Of course, any land which is taking in refugees from war-torn areas will also take on some of their criminal and more disturbed people. It is very sad, indeed, that these people do not feel a debt of gratitude, but in some cases these are people who have not had a peaceful upbringing, in some of the countries they hail from, there has been continued unrest and war for more than 70 years - Afghanistan comes to mind.
Yes, it was crazy to invite them in, it was also generous and perhaps self-serving, as Germany and many other European countries need young people to enter the workforce, or start businesses and help the economy along. Germany is seeing the first economic results from that motley crew they took in.
Germany has the added burden of the crimes against the Jews in particular and many other sub-sections of the community (Rom, socialists, communists, people with incurable psychiatric conditions) and other nationalities from WWII and I believe this invitation is also part of showing the world that 'Germany has changed' or rather that what happened in the 30s and 40s was yes: criminal, unforgivable, but also an aberration of an essentially civilised people. The invitation to the asylum seekers has to be partially seen in that light. What Merkel should have done, was to consult with the rest of Europe.
Now please take note that Australia has inordinately large and dramatic statistics in regard to wife-bashings and murders, mostly by their partners.

Not talking about the US. Talking about Germany. These crimes just never happened in Germany.
“Police reported more than 3,500 knife-related crimes between January and October 2017, compared to around 4,000 reported crimes during all of 2016 — and only 300 in 2007. Overall, during the past ten years, knife-related crimes in Germany have increased by more than 1,200%”.
