This article is about one unnamed woman, there is not any independent corroboration, not even anything confirming that the woman exists and some folks here bought it hook line and sinker. How could that happen? People aren't that naive, are they that desperate to seize on anything that validates their prejudice?
Well, the original article is from the national german newspaper "Die WELT". The women is a payed employee working at a refugee shelter in Hamburg.
Anybody who can read german can read it right there.
an anonymous woman whose complaints are not being echoed by other employees..well yeah I believe all of that sure, just like I believe in the tooth fairy

Of course she wants to stay anonymous. She doesn't want to be called a nazi.
According to her those complaints are echoed by other employees at the shelter as well.
Anyways, from the news coverage that I follow in german newspaper that sentiment is fairly common. But you are entitled to believe that most refugees are godsent saints and pure like the wind driven snow.
It's worse than racism or xenophobia. A dog? It's especially insulting to a Muslim to compare to a dog.
These are adult people who are well aware they are taking advantage. They know what they are doing is wrong both in their culture and particularly in western countries. They just don't respect western culture, so they don't care. They use technology (can dogs use I-phones?) to arrange flash mobs to sexually assault women because it's fun and they have not really had to face consequences. They know how to confuse using their papers and give misinformation to their advantage and that it is breaking the rules. Why insult their humanity to compare them to animals needing training. I guess a critic can respect them as people- responsible for their actions- more so than an apologist.
I guess way too many "Muslims" act like dogs so it'd be an insult to their kind because the truth hurts.
A few years back, I took in a dog that was abused by his previous owner. They were going to put him down because he wouldn't trust anyone and would snap at people.
When I took him home, he did his regular routine of barking and snapping at me very aggressively. I grabbed him, shook him, and yelled at him "stop snapping at me!" He never barked or snapped at me ever again.
Nowadays, 5 years after I adopted him and he is the most adorable dog. Anyone can play with him. Neighbor's kids love him.
I used to work for habitat for humanity. Often times, the people we tried to help would try to take as much advantage of us as they could. Why? Because that's all they know. They didn't know any better.
I've found that people who idealizes helping others (people or animals) are always greatly disappointed when they found out reality is never what they fantasized. Those of us who are truly dedicated to helping others are fully aware that more often than not when we feed those who need our help our hands at times will be bitten.
That woman in the article in the OP was just another idealistic person who thought she was living in a damn movie. Then reality hits.
Here's the thing. Just because some of these people's natural tendency is to turn around and bite the hands that feed them doesn't mean we should give up on them. Didn't your jesus say something about this?
These people came from a culture of violence and oppression. That's all they know. I know what I'm about to say may sound offensive, but trying to help these people is like trying to help the abused dog I adopted. You have to show strength as well as patience... a lot of patience.
That dog did not follow a religion or ideology that demanded that he bite you.

Because some staunch activists don't want the migrants to be seen in a bad light.
But you are entitled to believe that most refugees are godsent saints and pure like the wind driven snow.
I don't think any such thing, Europe should not have admitted large numbers of refugees without any vetting..but I'm amused that people are so gullible that they accept a story without question even though it is proffered by an 'anonymous' source as truth apparently because it fits their narrative.
