W German knife crime is increasing at an alarming rate, and data leaves no illusions. Even though they account for just over 14 percent of the population, foreigners account for more than 36 percent of the crimes with a knife.
In any lands, this share reaches almost half. In North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's largest and most populated region, foreigners are suspected in 47.6 percent of cases. In Berlin alone, where knife crime has reached its highest level in 10 years, the number of crimes has increased peculiarly in areas inhabited by migrants. Public places, schools, parks and means of transport become an arena of violent assaults, which increasingly end in death. Victims are random, attackers frequently have no motive another than aggression and contempt for life. This trend has a peculiar origin – uncontrolled immigration.
Several ethnicities dominate the perpetrators: Syrians, Afghans, Algerians and Moroccans. In many cases, attacks are carried out with full brutality, and statistic show that it is not about carrying a knife "just in case", but about real use. In the case of perpetrators from Algeria and Afghanistan, as many as 83 percent of cases are the active usage of a knife for assault or murder. These are not individual situations or isolated exceptions. It's a permanent pattern that confirms data from the German services. The police and the prosecutors are beating the alarm, but politicians are inactive stalling with action, fearing accusations of racism or Islamophobia. Meanwhile, people die.
The year 2024 brought a evidence number of violent crimes – over 217 1000 cases. Among the suspects, almost 40 percent are foreigners. In the 18–30 age group – the most criminally active – this percent is even higher. Each fresh study only confirms what many have been saying for years: an open door policy has brought an avalanche increase in danger. It's not just how many people are coming. It's about who they are, what their views are, how they behave and how they respond to the rules of civilized society.
Politicians effort to explain the situation to social factors. They talk about poverty, trauma, integration problems. But these explanations are not adequate erstwhile the victims are German children stabbed in school cafeterias, women attacked in the subway, or old people attacked for no reason on park benches. In most cases, criminals are not war refugees but young men who treat German law as a weakness and social principles as something that can be ignored. In their countries, there are severe penalties for crimes. In Germany – frequently only hinge and integration course.
One of the most violent cases was the attack in Solingen, where a 26-year-old Syrian, who should have been deported earlier, attacked with a knife of random people, killing 3 people. He had a rejected asylum application, was known to the police, had ties to extremist Islam. Yet he was not expelled. The authorities did not have the courage or the tools to remove him from the country. Innocent people paid for it. specified an example is not an exception. We hear more and more about men from the mediate East and North Africa who enter schools, trains, offices and attack people without any logic, frequently with the cry of "Allahu Akbar" on their lips. German police and peculiar services admit that they are incapable to monitor all possibly dangerous immigrants. The strategy is overloaded. Society unprepared. Politicians surprised. And the victims are real and irreversible.
The public debate in Germany is increasingly polarised. The left and center effort to avoid the subject, talking about the request for integration, equality and tolerance. But more and more citizens see what is happening in the streets of their cities. Parents fear for children who come home alone from school. Women limit leaving after dark. Authorities introduce “gun-free” zones in city centres, but have no power to enforce them. Meanwhile, unscrupulous migrants break the law due to the fact that they know the strategy will not respond harshly. There are no prisons, deportations are delayed, and asylum decisions drag on for months. Immigrants know it's adequate to destruct identity papers to halt the deportation process. They usage all gap.
AfD and another opposition groups have for years warned that this would end in disaster. Their demands – closure of borders, accelerated deportations, punishing criminals without German citizenship with automatic expulsion – were ridiculed. Today, many politicians from downtown start speaking the same language, but besides late. The scale of the problem is already besides large. Immigration is no longer a humanitarian challenge. She has become a threat to interior security. Thousands of people coming from conflict regions, from places where the law does not exist, do not integrate, they make their own enclaves and impose their rules. Germany tolerates this for fear of conflict, but any specified surrender causes escalation of aggression.
The media has been silent for a long time, now increasingly reporting cases of violent crimes involving immigrants. People no longer want to hear phrases about integration and “cultural enrichment” erstwhile they see for themselves what reality looks like. The statistic are ruthless. Between 2015 and 2024, the number of knife offences increased almost threefold. In cities specified as Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, the number of reports of knife attacks grows year by year. all study makes things worse.
Germany is faced with a choice today: either they recognise that their migration policy was a mistake and will radically change it, or they will proceed to drift towards chaos and destabilization. No society can last unless it can defend its own citizens from violence. Knife crime is not abstraction. It's a circumstantial victim, a peculiar wound, a peculiar suffering. And that is all due to the fact that the state could not say no to people who should never have been here.
Immigration is not a problem in itself. But mass, uncontrolled immigration from countries with a advanced level of violence, low respect for the law and immense cultural differences – already so. Germany has opened borders without a plan, without selection, without control. The consequence is present in a increasing number of murders, rapes, knife attacks. It's inactive hard to ignore. It's even harder to take it back. But further silence and passivity will mean agreeing that Germany should become a country where regular risks are a subway journey or a walk around the city centre. And it's not just the Germans' problem anymore. This will be a informing for Europe as a whole.
