It is simplistic to point to  the Cologne incident and say "Ya see?"   Originally people blamed it on the Syrian refugees...There are over a million   refugees in Germany; that  200 might have behaved badly that night out of 1 million people is a drop in the bucket. Their presence has to be seen in perspective, not in emotional exaggerations and  tar-brushing an entire population for the bad manners of a very small number. Oh, and in fact, those creating the problem in Cologne were not even Syrian refugees, they were illegal   immigrants... but the bigots pretend that they are one and the same people. They are not.
