This week in "enrichment"; Iraqi shoots people at club in Konstanz, Palestinian stabs people in Hamburg, four people arrested in Sydney for planning to blow up a plane, in Birmingham an "asian" man rapes a 14 year old girl, then when she goes to seek help she is raped by another "asian" man... And yet the real menace apparently is "the far right".
