A civil society report by the organization Claim documented more than 3,000 anti-Muslim incidents in Germany in 2024.
The report links the surge to geopolitical events and warns of growing normalization and brutality in anti-Muslim racism.
Merz keeps telling lies it is imported. Not true.
They’re so paranoid about any hint of repeating what they did to the Jews that they’re gonna accidentally do it to Muslims this time instead.
Yes or maybe the reason is the far right rising like everywhere else in the west. Not everything related to Germany has to do with the holocaust.
The reason Islamophobia is rising in Germany is that Germany aggressively censors anything critical of Israel because it incorrectly conflates it with antisemitism, which means it’s implicitly endorsing Israel’s genocide of Muslims. Of course Islamophobia is going to increase when it’s effectively supported by the state!
A large part of islamophobes are also antisemitic.
And both groups suffer. Too bad one is prosecuted more than the other; that imbalance worsens the problem.
We can do a venn diagram of people that think Jews are committing genocide and against which group. White supremacists believe Jews are doing a genocide against white people, The tiktok crowd thinks Jews are doing a genocide against muslims.
Both of these groups hate one another despite the fact they’re saying basically the same things. Hopefully it stays that way, some really bad things happen when the Nationalists and Socialists realize they have common ground in their hatred of Jews.
I don’t know what “the tiktok crowd” is, but I suspect you’re talking about the woke left somehow. So let me respond to what I think you’re saying, and if I’m misunderstanding, just correct me. Nobody in the woke left is thinking that “the Jews are doing a genocide against Muslims”. The accusation is that Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinians. Israel and Jewish people: not the same thing. Muslims and Palestinians: not the same thing.
Nah just the crowd that doesn’t read the news from the “lamestream media” and prefer getting the news from >30 second shock clips with zero context.
Nobody in the woke left is thinking that “the Jews are doing a genocide against Muslims”.
Three comments above yours:
which means it’s implicitly endorsing Israel’s genocide of Muslims.
I think that proves my point about people not reading anything and just reacting to things without considering context at all.
You’re conflating Israel with Jews.
just like in every other european country, there were almost no steps towards integration. this is what you get.
Yep, history repeats itself again. Netherlands and Germany imported a ton of laborers from North Africa and Turkey after WW2. But they literally only let the equivalent of redneck hillbillies in, since they were cheaper than educated urbanites. Germany and Netherlands needed cheap labor to rebuild after the war, but they wanted the cheapest of the cheapest. So most of them were illiterate subsistence farmers. And everyone thought that they would go back home after a few years so no efforts were made to integrate these people. And even if they tried they failed since these people weren’t very smart. Like seriously I’ve seen people who live here in Europe for longer than they lived in their country of birth and still can’t string a proper sentence together in the language of the country they live in. Not to mention most are religiously conservative and conservatives are not known to be openminded which makes it hard to integrate them.
Lo and behold two generations later the descendants of these migrants are overrepresented in the jobless, school dropout and crime stats.
This is what happens when you make your Staatsräson “never again to those people in particular” as opposed to “never again to anyone ever”, then spend two years pretending that anti-Semitism is an imported problem, and end up saying that an illegal war by a genocidal apartheid state is your own dirty business.
Is there an actual article about this or only a summary? Like what’s considered a verbal attack? A breakdown between physical attacks seems like important information. Did they only start gathering this information in 2023 or is there more historical data to compare it to for context?
