    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!
