Here's the thing though: Most immigrants don't do stuff like that. I don't have any exact numbers, but let's say there were 100 cases of rape by immigrants. If we have indeed 1 million refugees in europe, then that's a whopping 0.01 % of rapists among them. According to Statista that's about the exact same rate as in the german population.

You're making up statistics though! Immigrants are more likely to commit crimes then native citizens to their country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_crime#Germany

Even if the majority of immigrants don't commit crimes, because groups are never equally distributed in any country, the per capita (usually per 100,000 people) statistic is the one we should look at. For instance, if migrants make up only 1% of a country's population, but represent 25% of rapists, then they have a greater amount of rapists per capita even though 25% is not the majority.

And you are interpretating it wrong.

Committing a crime != more likely to commit a crime.

Also as stated in the link you used for your argument: "the latter being consistently and positively correlated with the natives’ unfavourable attitude toward immigrants."[

Correlation =/= Causation
