I'd like to thank you for clarifying your position.
I mainly get my news in the mornings on the radio, so it seems there are developments in this case which I was not aware of. (Hence the 'huh what' response to the Egyptian passport thing. I hadn't heard about that part at all.)
As a side-note: even when double-checking a few details (since I wanted to state where news reports claimed the culprits allegedly originated from accurately) I found the horrible news that women were being advised to stay “more than an arm’s length away” from strangers. That's a statement from Cologne's mayor and thankfully there's a counter-statement from the federal minister criticising it, noting that we are not going back to the days where women are advised not to wear miniskirts.
I reveal my horror at that comment from the mayor of Cologne to further illustrate that, and I really hope you'll believe me, my main concern regarding this story IS the hurt experienced by the women involved, not the races of the assailants or the victims.
