The shocking claims reportedly made by Sami Abu-Yusuf of the Salafist Cologne mosque also pointed the finger at the innocent victims for “wearing perfume”.

According to Breitbart he allegedly said: "We need to react properly, and not to add fuel to the fire."

“The events of New Year’s Eve were the girls' own fault, because they were half naked and wearing perfume. It is not surprising the men wanted to attack them."

On the last day of the year mobs of refugees assaulted more than 500 women in and around Cologne railway station, sexually molesting and robbing them.

The incident has caused uproar in Cologne and calls have been made for Chancellor Angela Merkal to change her open-door policy.

Several rallies have also been staged in the German city against migration.

The horror attacks have sparked riots as tensions between protestors and counter-protestors reaches breaking point.

When the victims dropped their belongings trying to defend themselves they were robbed, according to the notes.

A spokesman of the Bavarian security service said of the behaviour: “Salafists are trying to talk with unaccompanied youths who have come to Germany without their families and who are in particular need of support and connections.

“The Salafists are trying to use the desperate situation refugees find themselves in for their own goals”, Express reported.
