Skyrocketing complaints about religious and ethnic-based crimes have forced many Christians, women and homosexuals to leave Germany's asylum facilities by the droves.
The latest in the issue of Germany's migration crisis was revealed by local newspapers as the country continues to cope with migrant influx mostly from the Middle East and Africa. Germany accepted 1.1 million migrants in 2015.
According to German newspaper Die Welt, Christians, gays and women are leaving these facilities due to soaring instances of violence, intimidation and crimes allegedly perpetrated by Muslim men.
These Islamic radicals tear up Bibles and assault Christians; others sexually abuse women and children; still others, beat homosexuals, Breitbart reported. The rising crimes have led to calls for human rights groups to demand oversight and change from the government.
In Stuttgart, a Muslim was accused of sexually abusing an Assyrian Christian woman, prompting the filing of a petition for separate housing that was signed by more than 17,000 people online. The petition organised by the Central Oriental Christians, asked the city to "please accommodate the displaced Christians in Stuggart-Neugereut and keep them from further distress and persecution to which they are exposed in a decentralised accommodation.''
Sven Matis, the spokesman for Stuttgart, said the matter was brought to the city and a separate centre for 30 Christians was approved by the council. "The district assistant said they would be able to approve accommodation for the 30 Christians in Neugereut by the end of April.''
Over the span of several months, the paper said there have been numerous other cases of Christians, gays, women, including young girls being attacked, persecuted or, in the case of females, raped in these facilities.
Reacting to the systematic persecution of Christians, Martin Lessenthin, CEO of the International Society for Human Rights, said: "It's common to see both Christians and Yazidis subject to torment and beatings and while it is not desirable to accommodate migrants separately, it be may be inevitable for the safety of the minorities.''
The organisation said for extremely vulnerable minorities, like the Yazidi girls, a separate facility is needed to avoid unwanted attention from migrants sympathetic to the ISIS or Muslims who view them as nothing more than sexual objects.
At least 1,100 of these women live in various special shelters across Germany, the paper said.
