As someone mentioned:

"The Imam wasn't saying it was the victim's fault. He was explaining what prompted the action. Kind of like how you can say that a serial killer targeted their victim because of something they wore, without actually saying the victim was to blame. The Imam was quite clear in the follow-up interview (from the IBTimes article): "There were women scantily clad women who were wearing perfume as they walked through the drunken crowd. For some North Africans, this was reason to grope the women. That doesn't mean that I think women shouldn't be allowed to dress like that. Everyone has to accept that. And if they don't agree, they need to go to another country. That's the truth."

So it's just Agenda driven "news"...

 

Think you should reread the OP. 

"The events of New Year's Eve were the girls' own fault"

The Imam spoke in either German or Arabic. That then got dubbed over into Russian for REN TV. Then it got translated to English. And as I pointed out, the people who did the translation to English for that article have an agenda, so that step alone isn't trustworthy.

The IBTimes sentence given was "If they're half-naked and wearing perfume, it's not surprising that such things would happen". And if you think about that sentence, you realise that he wasn't apportioning blame with it.

Have you ever wondered why Breitbart aren't providing a full transcript? It's because they don't want the full context to be given.
