The safe shorts are available as running pants or hotpants. "Starting off, we only produced a small series, but it was sold out really quickly", tells us the entrepreneur from Oberhausen. The demand – 80% of it in Germany/from Germany (the article says, mostly German women buy it) – is high.
The shorts feature a padded crotch (to reduce groping), a locked-down waist draw-string, cut- and tear-resistant fabric, and a 130 dB alarm.

[Update: Mea culpa! A comment to the original story provided evidence that the source of this story is less than entirely reputable. The above link cites, as its source, Bild. My German is rusty, but it appeared that the Voice Of Europe story is a nearly-literal translation of the story appearing in Bild... So, all is good, right? Umm, nope. Though Bild is extremely popular, Wikipedia notes: "It is the best-selling non-Asian newspaper and has the eighth-largest circulation worldwide." (No wonder I recognized the title of the publication!) Reading further, however, reveals: "...Bild has been described as 'notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism' and as having a huge influence on German politicians. Its nearest English-language stylistic and journalistic equivalent is often considered to be the British national newspaper The Sun, the second highest selling European tabloid newspaper, with which it shares a degree of rivalry."
Ugh. I apologize for letting a story such as this make it to the front page. There's too much discussion on this story to remove it at this point, so I would just ask that those posting comments please try to avoid inflammatory, bigoted, and/or racist remarks and, instead, focus on the shorts' construction and functionality. --martyb]

Western liberals like to claim we have a rape culture... and then they want to import a real no-nonsense actually serious rape culture. WTF?
If you swapped people between Japan and Iraq, which country would have a rape problem? It should be obvious.
A country is not merely a chunk of land. It isn't even a system of laws. The people matter. You can take people out of the 3rd world, but you can't take the 3rd world out of people.

If you pick any country with moslems you will see their behaviour in direct proportion to their presence. Any news against Merkel's agenda is hardly ever syndicated and stays only in local papers where it vanished from the front page in hours.

No demographic is crime-free.
The relevant question is whether they're committing more crimes than the locals, and you've shown me nothing that indicates the affirmative.
I share your distaste for this silly terminology. It's used by deluded individuals who think it's somehow more polite to use a word that most people will interpret to mean 'oriental', than to just say 'ethnically middle eastern'.

And you won't get it packaged for you in a single article unless you go to reprehensible far right sites, none of which I'm willing to link to. The main reason for the lack of summary articles is that many countries have made it illegal to report in articles the ethnic background of those charged with crimes. Some had waves of daytime gang rapes already years ago perpetrated exclusively by islam. Laws were quickly passed and the news stopped saying who were the attackers. The results took the immediate pressure off the state, but kicked the can further down the road and now things are truly out of control in those places.
*You* can get the information yourself by waiting for the police reports to be published, in some countries they are automatically public. Then *you* must connect the dots on your own between the original article, the police report and a follow up article. It's too much work for most private individuals and most journalists would be fired by their editors for breaching political correctness or similar ideological limits. So for most there is no summary on a silver plate.
Other times you can get a hint based on neighborhoods which are exclusively one group or another. Others you just have to go with common sense:

Not quite sure of what you were looking for. The magic dirt theory (I had not heard of that term, bit it is a good fit) is something you see and hear all around in the UK. Many people seem to believe that the moment you land an immigrant here he will see how vastly superior our way of life is to his own previous one, so he will very soon try (and succeed) to become just like a David Niven / Roger Moore / Hugh Grant screen character clone - a perfect English gentleman in fact. It is actually a form of racism - like saying "see how superior we are, and copy it".
This does not happen, and the liberals then explain this by claiming that the immigrants are "not integrated enough" - which is just another stage in the argument. What happens more is that the westerners start copying the immigrants. In the history of the world it is usually the immigrants who come to dominate even while in a minority (Anglo-Saxons over Romans in Britain, British over Indians in the Raj, Jews over Arabs in modern Israel etc).

I don't see it as racist at all. It's simply human nature, in both directions.
As a Westerner, I like Western culture. I personally believe it is better than anything else around. Someone from another culture undoubtedly believes their their culture is the best. It's what they have, it's what they know, it's what they are.
So: an immigrant from culture A moves into a country dominated by culture B. If the immigrant is an adult, or even a teen, their culture is an inherent part of them. Even if they want to adapt (which is not a given), they will never entirely be able to do so. Their children will have a foot in both cultures. At earliest, their grandchildren may fully be part of the local culture.
This is reality. Integration takes generations. If you allow too many immigrants from a single culture, they form cultural islands, which slow or even stop the integration process. Hence, immigration needs to be carefully controlled: limited numbers of people from any one area, widely dispersed through the local population. The current European policy towards Africa (and American policy towards Central America) of allowing unlimited illegal immigration is idiotic, precisely because it makes the process impossible to control.

Right, because if you don't control/limit/throttle it, they'll keep their inferior culture and not assimilate.
You acknowledge you each naturally have a preference for your own culture, but insist that if they want to live in your country they need to assimilate your culture against their own wishes.
