Germany: 14-year old Jewish girl raped & killed by Iraqi asylum seeker

One very simple question is how offended you were when Europeans, Christians, Jews, etc. committed acts of violence and collective punishment against Iraqis, Syrians, Palestinians, etc., systemically and at large scale in the last 15 years.

If the answer is "gave no f***s", this is merely racism.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Correct. Being angry about only one wrong, however, may make you wrong. It is exactly equivalent in that case to a false argument, if we pretend that Europeans and Americans are intrinsically better societies because we don't go to Iraq and kill Iraqis for no reason (which we did, broadly defining America and Europe).

Some people are still convinced that shouting racist at their opponents will win them the discussion. But this bullying tactic doesn't work anymore in the ~current year~.

Protecting our countries is common sense and the right thing to do. Whether or not I'll be considered a racist by leftists for advocating for what is right, I don't particularly care.

There are no "points" or "winning" from anonymous Internet discussion. There is only the hope that we may glean learnings about ourselves, or others. One learning is that some people care only about crimes when they are committed by "foreigners".

Crime is actually as low as it's been for quite some time in Germany, so this is an isolated incident as bad as it is.

I really fail to see the difference between this and the media's ranting about "white male violence" that conservatives (rightly) complain about. Cherry picking a bunch of anecdotal incidents to create the impression that they are more widespread than they are to make a group look bad is about as low as it gets.

If it helps, Muslims are to Europeans as African-Americans are to Americans.
