Unable to sweep the scale of refugee involvement in crimes which are hidden, Mark Harbers (Liberal) has resigned over a refugee crime report. He told MPs that he felt responsible for the report: “I am not only responsible in terms of the law, but I feel responsible.”
The figures show of course what was expected, that a large proportion of crime, especially rape, is committed by new immigrants, who come from Muslim, “so-called safe countries, namely Morocco and Algeria.”
The Netherlands was once one of the safest places to live in Europe, but that has been changing fast. The murder of gay MP Pim Fortuyn in 2002 was the writing on the wall, and the killer’s release just 12 years later, which was barely noticed 5 years ago, was a nod to the followers of Islam, that they will not be dealt with justly for practicing their sharia. Fortuyn had complained loudly about the treatment of gays in islam.
Ironically the overall crime rate has dropped, “almost 9 thousand sexual offenses like rape, sexual harassment or -assault last year, compared to 8,400 in 2017. The number of rape reports increased from 1,200 in 2014 to 1,900 last year. And the number of sexual assault reports increased from 1,700 in 2015 to 2,400 last year.”
The Netherlands is due to vote on leaving the EU shortly, let’s hope they remember where Frau Merkel’s experiment with open borders has taken them.

Asylum minister Mark Harbers resigns over refugee crime report
Asylum minister Mark Harbers has resigned during a debate with MPs about a report in which figures about the number of refugees suspected of violent crimes were ‘hidden’.
Harbers told MPs that he felt responsible for the report, in which figures about how many refugees were suspected of rape and murder were not explicitly stated. ‘I am not only responsible in terms of the law, but I feel responsible,’ Harbers said.
The figures, which were published last week, included suspicions of rape (4) and murder (31) under the heading ‘other’. Harbers was then accused of attempting to hide the figures.
During Tuesday evening’s debate Harbers said that the ministry had been warned not to come up with a top 10 crimes for which asylum seekers were suspects because that meant serious crime would be hidden. However, civil servants had not taken that advice, Harbers said.
Asked why the ministry again had failed to report the true extent of the potential involvement of asylum seekers in crime, Harbers said civil servants were worried that the figures would lead to confusion.
Fake refugees
Last week’s report showed ‘fake’ asylum seekers who come from so-called safe countries, namely Morocco and Algeria, were responsible for almost half the 4,600 incidents requiring police intervention.
While most cases involved shoplifting or pickpocketing, police also registered cases of physical abuse, threatening behaviour and a further 1,000 incidents listed as ‘other’.
The Telegraaf reported on Thursday morning this total included 79 potential sex crimes, including 47 cases of sexual assault, five allegations of child abuse and four alleged rapes plus a string of other violent offences.
