I am not against pointing out obvious problems at all.

However, it seems more important to you to point out their being Muslim than anything else that could be and more likely is a common factor among them.

This is how the genuinely critical are easily separable from the bigoted/hateful.

And I say this as someone most staunchly opposed to the whole wokeness crowd.



So, what is your alternative hypothesis? What other thing do they have in common?

I can think of one thing, but you would consider that probably even more "bigoted/hateful". Again, these terms (just like "racist") are defamatory accusations. They shouldn't be used lightly.


How about being of low socio-economic and educational status?

In my city, the asocials lingering around the stations are mostly native Westerners and not Muslims.

Same reason applies.


Low socio-economic and educational status people have existed before in similar or higher numbers, yet the violent people in public baths are mostly young Muslim men.

Are there even a significant number of Muslim refugees in your country? Otherwise it's hardly possible to make a comparison.
