Ahmad Mansour: “expected” asylum seeker crime? – “This is refusal to work” – video | EUROtoday

WORLD: The variety of suspect asylum seekers in violent crimes elevated in 2024. This emerges from a response from the Federal Government to a request from an AfD MP. Turkish residents with a rise of just about 48 p.c are significantly hanging for violent offenses, adopted by Egyptians, Ukrainians and Pakistanians. Syrians lead these violent statistics in absolute numbers. The federal authorities isn’t very shocked. The climb was anticipated in view of the present migration state of affairs, the Interior Ministry stated. I wish to talk about this to the extremism knowledgeable Ahmad Mansour. Thank you very a lot to your time. This phrase “expected” is now primarily shaking a head – additionally in safety circles. Can you perceive the criticism of this?

Mansour: completely. This is not any totally different from refusal to work. I count on the Ministry of the Interior – and all individuals in Germany – count on that they not solely say: “This is expected”, however that they go into the evaluation and, above all, present what we’ve to do what the safety equipment have to take action that we stay extra safely in Germany.

WELT: But if we take a look at the causes – it’s a must to know to have the ability to fight the issue -: the teams I simply listed – Ukrainians, Pakistan, Egyptians, but in addition Turkish nationals – have little in widespread at first look. Is it the escape experiences you join or what’s your evaluation?

Mansour: It could be very totally different. There are a number of elements that play a job and may result in radicality, but in addition to crime. But I’ve the sensation that just some are talked about within the public debate – for instance masculine ideas, youth tradition and rather more. But the place it’s about cultural backgrounds, socialization and values ​​introduced with you, you might be fully silent. Also from the Ministry of the Interior. I’ve the sensation that they’re very irritated by such inquiries. Such questions shouldn’t solely come from the AfD, however must be mentioned in the course of society. This is a query that offers with many individuals on this nation. And even when we disguise all of those elements: the truth that migration influences crime statistics is price a debate. Our municipalities, our safety units are fully overwhelmed. The individuals in Germany now not really feel secure. And that ought to make each politician on this nation to have a severe debate and discover options.

WELT: An apparent choice – hopefully additionally an answer – could be extra integration. They have addressed tradition, values ​​from residence that won’t match right here. Can integration be promoted much more? The municipalities are on the restrict, however nothing to do, results in even main issues.

Mansour: completely. And this dysfunctionality of the complete system – I’ve stated a number of instances – exhibits that we’re in a disaster. Of course, integration has to work. But I would like assets for integration. I could possibly combine 100,000 individuals nicely a yr – accompany them, present them with assets in order that they’ve an opportunity to reach emotionally in any respect. All individuals past this quantity stay in Germany, however have hardly any views. No likelihood of integration. They transfer away from the bulk society, stay in parallel worlds. And in fact that promotes crime or results in disintegration. We can’t settle for that on this nation.

WELT: Isn’t {that a} vicious circle? When you come from one in all these teams and listen to: “These are criminal asylum seekers”, then it’s possible you’ll determine with it in some unspecified time in the future and assume: “Is it no matter of whether I do everything right” and slips into violence?

Mansour: That is why this can be very necessary to conduct this debate factually and differentiated in the course of society-not solely by AfD politicians who condemn all migrants and refugees on the whole. We’re speaking about violence. We’re speaking about criminals right here. And solely from them. Not from individuals who have come from Syria and are excellently built-in. They are additionally irritated as a result of they’re put in a drawer. But if we need to discover options, we first must develop consciousness of the present issues. In the general public debate lately, I’ve the sensation that each point out of things similar to migration, tradition, socialization or patriarchal constructions is instantly stamped with no consideration -wing extremist. And with that the talk is off the desk – and we do not get a step additional.

World: Mr. Mansour, thanks very a lot.

Mansour: very a lot. Thank you.
