Seems to me like fear mongering about the right wing is in full effect for some time already also, to the point of not releasing information or talking about problems because it might move people to the right.
Is it fearmongering when its an actual problem?
Its not just some "worried citizens" anymore.
From 2011 to 2015 the number of violent attacks on refugee houses has increased from 18 attacks in 2011 to 924 attacks in 2015.
Attack against refugees have quadrupled from 2014 to 2015.
Here is a collection of all the violence against refugees and refugee housing from 1991 till today.
Every year had its own chapter up until 2015, then they had to make an extra chapter for every month.

But were're used to hearing that by now. Right now the cool thing is to focus on the other side.
After NYE a father from Tunesia and his 13yo daughter were racially insulted, teargassed and beaten down by multiple people on a public place and ended up in hospital.
Police didn't publish the incident until a week later.
No biggie, but when the evening news are a few hours late on the events in cologne because they wait for more facts than thats a huge scandal.
And yes, there are ways to help people who need it without just letting anybody in, house them for months and then have to costly deport them or let them disappear into an illegal life. The UK, Canada and US are doing it through the UN programs.
Yeah, thats working like a charm...
But they also don't have to decide between letting people in or letting them die, because the refugees aren't landing at their coasts.
Plenty of credible outlets are reporting on problems with immigrants also, this is not some right wing propaganda going on that has no basis in reality.
But the credible outlets put it into perspective and only mention the origin or religion of the persons when its important information, in order to not incite stereotypes and hate.
But when there are countless of fistfights all over germany everyday, and an outlet decides to report on the one fistfight involving refugees, and making sure to mention that they are refugees, muslims and shouted in arabic, thats bad journalism... and thats happening right now all across europe.
A few months ago a german discounter had a new product in stock and it was some kitchen equipment people loved and it was very cheap, so people went nuts over the limited stock and it got violent in stores, police had to come, complaints were filed, charges were pressed.
On the same day the story broke of refugees in a camp who got violent over food.
The reactions to these stories were entirely different:
1. Story: "Ah thats cute, housewives going nuts over the newst kitchen machine."
2. Story: "Fucking animals, they are entirely uncompatible with our society, get them out of here."
Its the medias job to avoid that shit.
And there it is. Deal with it. Sexual assault and rape? Deal with it. Stonings? Deal with it. Backwards values from backwards cultures? Deal with it. Deal with all the problems being caused by open borders and mass immigration so long as I get to pat myself on the back over how good of a person I am.
You want to help people? Maybe start helping the women and Jews and gay people of Europe.
You already have to deal with it. There are german criminals, too. Thatswhy there is a criminal justice system in place.
I think I have mentioned it before, according to BKA crime statistic refugees are in line with crime rates of comparable groups of germans(low education, unemployed, male).
So, are we expecting the refugees to be more law abiding then we are?
