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.
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.
I’ve met German (and French) women in Australia who’ve openly said they’ve got a Muslim men problem. e: I was somewhat shocked to hear it as an Aussie. We were all at a party round a fire and they all started comparing stories of hassles they got back home.
What are you trying to say here?
Germany took in a ton of refugees (migrants is the wrong word), some percentage of which have has extreme trouble moving into a very different culture, it was a huge culture shock for everyone and it had led to problems inside the country that are fueling this hatred.
Not fucking rocket science.
It’s mostly Arabs which have trouble fitting in due to the vastly different organisation of society, down to predominant family system, while e.g. Turks fit in quite well. Gesticulating mediterranean drama queens, sure, but so is everyone from Spain to Greece. There’s also a fuckton of Turkish-Arab beef. Afghans are also usually completely overwhelmed but also much more cut off from their background and on top of that accustomed to a multi-ethnic society. It’s more of a “start a new life” type of thing for them, less “bring your clan baggage with you”. Iranians don’t even register, Albanians if then as Balkaners.
I guess the reduction to “Muslim” might happen organically with easterners as Turks never really made it there in appreciable numbers. Outside of Berlin, that is, and the rest are pretty much invisible. Like, imagine if the only English-speaking people you ever met were all Americans, what you’d think of English speakers as a whole.
Jesus, if british comedy didn’t exist, people would think English is just for joyless, shitty, jerks
Thanks, this doesn’t explain why OP is sharing that anecdote and I still don’t know what they’re trying to say with it.
Are they saying Germans hate Muslims? Are they saying hating Muslims is justified?
Neither, they’re giving an anecdotal example of the effects of what I previously noted.
Yeah that’s trivial to mention. I still care about why they shared the anecdote and you can repeat the obvious as much as you want but it won’t answer my question.
I mean you said it yourself, answer is obvious. Peace!
just like in every other european country, there were almost no steps towards integration. this is what you get.
Here in Denmark the right wing faught hard to make sure no actual integration would happen. Now they point at the badly integrated immigrants and say “look, they’re not even interested in being integrated”.
We have laws that prevent immigrants from getting jobs, and a language course that isn’t mandetory. These laws are in place because of the right wing party “Danish Peoples Party” didn’t want immigrants to be able to succeed.
How are people supposed to be integrated when they can’t meet the people they need to integrate with?
When we got a shitload of ukrainians, the law preventing them from working was abolished, but only for ukrainian refugee. Guess what? The ukrainians are integrating amasingly. Turns out, if you get to socialise with people, you’re more likely to learn how to behave around those people.
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.
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.
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?
