You may want to ask them. My home town is a 2000+ year old university town. Now 60% of residents are of "migratory background". Language and culture has diminished to a shadow it what is was even 20 years ago. Using public transit especially late is a no go. Upscale shops and restaurants have closed.
Men outside of a culture where women are a lower class of humans. Read a bit about what happens in their home countries as far as women are concerned.
Many boys in Muslim countries are raised to expect girls and women to behave in a certain fashion. When they come to Western countries and see how girls and women behave there, they are (1) thrilled because it's much easier to look at girls, and to approach and spend time with girls, but (2) they may also be inclined to have no respect for those girls because they do not conform to what they were raised to believe is the proper way for women to behave.
From what I understand, the veil for women in Muslim societies is meant to protect them from the 'male gaze' as exposed female skin would trigger sexual attraction in men who may then do indecent things. By consciously not wearing the veil, Western women thus choose to make themselves 'available' to that kind of male attention. In other words, someone used to the way of Muslim societies may interpret the lack of veil (and revealing clothing as well) as a sign that said woman is making herself sexually available. If you couple that perception then with a lack of scruples and aggression otherwise, you get guys who may think they have carte blanche to rape.
That is of course not unique to Islamic societies. I think historically that type of mentality existed almost anywhere in the world. It's the classic misogynistic playbook of rape - "Women are sluts, so if they reject me I take it personally and take what they owe me." There's men who think like that in any culture and of any background. But it's really helping no-one if we deny that it's far more common in men from very traditionalist societies which place a lot of emphasis on maintaining traditional religious customs even as the world modernizes in terms of technology. Islamic countries are not just very notable in that regard - they have also been exporting a lot of young male migrants to the West. It's naive to expect such young men to throw out their entire toolkit of values and beliefs and adopt ours because they move to Hamburg, Brussels or Birmingham.
Well, they should be taught to learn about and respect the culture of the country that has so graciously allowed them to escape the craphole they came from.
The people who yelled Juden Raus in 1930s Germany also said they were expressing their "legitimate fears." Shame on you for not realizing it.
What about the folks yelling "Juden Raus" in the Middle East today, are they Nazis or are the folks who don't want them to live in their town the Nazis? Trying to understand the logic here.

Logic? Then stop with the false equivalency and focus on Germany, not the Middle East.
