of course it's the underlying factors that actually cause crime. But many people don't look beyond the surface level statistics therefore right wing groups like AfD use these stats to tell half truths and manipulate people. And many people fall for it. Combine that with these recent traumatic events caused by migrants and people will vote with their emotions for AfD.

However what people outside of Western Europe don't know is that the root cause of these issues is capitalism. After the war the Western European nations invited hundreds of thousands of labor migrants from Turkey and North Africa to rebuild the cities. Capitalists being capitalists they only wanted the cheapest of cheapest laborers. Therefore the vast majority of people that came over were rural subsistence farmers. Low educated or even uneducated and illiterate. On top of that they were religiously conservative. The capitalists and politicians didn't care since they all thought that these migrants would go back home after the job was done. So no efforts were made to integrate these people, however the vast majority stayed in Europe. But since they weren't very smart people and were left to their own devices they didn't learn the local language and culture very well. This wasn't a problem with the first gen, since they just did their jobs everyday and didn't cause trouble. But it caused major issues with the subsequent generations. Their children, lacking language skills and cultural assimilation, struggled in school and felt alienated. This cycle continued, leading to high poverty, unemployment, and thus crime among later generations, many of whom reject Western liberal society while embracing Islamic conservatism.

I am pretty sure these problems with these migrants wouldn't have been this bad if they only hired educated urbanites as labor migrants and paid them better. Muslim or not wouldn't have mattered. If these European countries invited hundreds of thousands of uneducated illiterate conservative Christians over from for example the USA it would have caused the same problems.
