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.

    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!

          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.
