The point is that refugees are committing crimes relatively more frequently per capita than European citizens. I think the end point being made is that it is culturally driven.
The second point I mentioned is probably impossible to prove with sound data. Too many confounding variables, most notably income.
The first point probably can be addressed somewhat well.

Not exactly an argument, as much as it is meant to cast shade on certain media organizations constantly purporting ludicrous claims about refugees.
In terms of actual data, maybe Germany is the best place to look.
In 2015 the crime rate of refugees rose by roughly 80%...which is pretty scary.
Until you pair that with the fact that the number of refugees in Germany rose by 440%.
The rate of crime against refugees increased roughly 300%

Additionally, there was some 21 page report done by the police across Germany, and the conclusion reached in the report was that refugees really are not committing crime relatively more frequently than other groups in Germany.
I haven't looked terribly deeply into this, so maybe you have some better sources, or additional data to cast light on the situation.
The problem with this data is the vague terms.
Crime. This is just talking about any crime, speeding, smoking weed, whatever. The main topic is sex crimes.
Refugees. Not all refugees come from countries that are as bad as north Africa, Morocco or Algeria. Refugees from Syria, Iraq or Afganistan commit less crimes.
Plus the refugees are bound to commit more sex crimes anyway since they're mostly male.
And I wouldn't really trust reports or quotes from anyone high up in government in Germany since we got told the attacks around new years eve last year definitely couldn't be from immigrants before anyone actually knew who they were. Turned out they were from North Africa and of Arabic appearance.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
