I'm not trying to paint you as a bigot and I don't perceive you as one, I really didn't quite get the connection. I still refuse to take the cologne incident as the defining moment of how we should see the refugee crisis. This was not hordes of syrians molesting women in public because their culture says it's ok (it doesn't), it was an orchestrated criminal effort. That's an important distinction be ause it points towards a different problem.
Your point that Germany might now feel compelled to do certain things because of its past that it otherwise wouldn't do is not lost on me. We're also one of the richest place in the vicinity, that's another factor.
Ok, I admit I might be wrong about this. I'll agree to whatever the evidence shows to be the case.
