They perceive something that most people do not, such as the army of Islamists now marching into Europe without guns, under the guise of being refugees. Nobody listens when the real refugees denounce them and the news media keeps showing young women with babies and young children despite the fact that most of them are not families but young men coming to join Jihadists in Hamburg.
