According to hall: Growing concern for Muslims in Germany
No, the attempted attack on the synagogue hall came as no surprise. You’ve expected something for a long time, says Aiman Mazyek, the Chairman of the Central Council of Muslims. The attack was directed against a Jewish community of the city hall, could have been the Muslim community of the city. Both Jews and Muslims are equally in the Focus of the perpetrators. Therefore, to support each other. He had visited the Jewish community hall for a solidarity visit, said Mazyek.
For a long time, the members of the Central Council together in closed communities experienced attacks on their houses of worship. “The Muslim community in hall, for example, has for years been the target of attacks. It slices were taken, there was Nazi graffiti. In the case of the last two attacks was shot from an air rifle to the believers.”
There had been a silence atmospheric change, says the Chairman of the Central Council of the situation. It was an environment that the offender does not encourage you to just talk, but act. “It behaves exactly as it describe some of the extreme right – wing terrorists – such as the Christchurch-in their Manifestos. Their texts were imitators to do the same. That’s why this is a disaster with a certain announcement. The is the Shocking.”
High number of Islamophobic offences
In the year 2018, according to the Federal Ministry of the interior were captured, a total of 910 crimes with Islamophobic nature. This is a slight decrease in comparison to the year 2017, in the course of 1075, corresponding criminal offences were registered. The attacks on people have increased, however. Thus, in the year 2018 in the case of anti-Islam Attacks were injured, 40 people, while in the previous year 32.
The Central Council of Muslims is a report of the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” that in the statistics, not all crimes are detected, and this the actual conditions reflected only partially. Rather, there is a significant dark-field, as Affected refused often, to refund a display. Some of the offences would be classified in the police and public Prosecutor’s office also properly.

Islamophobia is also in the middle of the society
Research at the University of Erfurt, teaching Islam scientist Kai Hafez, more than 50 percent of Germans are prone to Islamophobia. In some regions of Germany, such as Thuringia and Saxony, increases to up to 70 percent and more. Strong reservations against Islam existed in Germany, not only at the edges of society, but are widely penetrated in the center thereof.
Also, Birte-and-White, a member of the Board of Directors of the anti-discrimination Association Germany, observed increasing reservations about Muslims. Often it was simple resentment, such as “Muslim, male, with the same aggressive attitude,” she said to the newspaper “Handelsblatt”. The anti-Muslim racism in the everyday life of the waxes, so White. It is about students would be asked repeatedly to refer to the “Islamic state” position, because they would know about this, in the opinion of their classmates as Muslims.
The Rise In Everyday Racism
In particular, the everyday racism has increased, says Aiman Mazyek in the DW-Interview. “Spit and dirty looks are the more innocent experience. We experience but on the open road, even quite openly expressed verbal and physical violence. “The threshold is decreased, racial slurs and insults have increased tremendously.
In the meantime, had changed the climate so much so that those who perhaps had reservations or dislike of Muslims, articulated that quite openly. “In the past, they did not dare, but now you do it.” This applies to Muslims and Jews alike, as was generally the case even for people who looked differently than the majority society. “Those affected are all different or foreign looking people.”

Some members of the Central Council of the Muslims merged associations had withdrawn from the Aggression already consequences, so Mazyek more. “In our community women and children are particularly afraid to go to the mosque. You go with a queasy feeling to the Friday prayer. Other not were all the way in the municipalities, as they were feared in a simple or insecure.
“Not in a legal state and a free and open country, as we are, and in the most of the most people act and think so, don’t be. Therefore, the attack against the synagogue in Halle a break.”
What could be against the right-wing do? Mazyek thinks, for example, the convening of a representative against Muslim hostility. “We also need to practice intensified dialogue and at the same time, invest in safety. Who wants the law to combat radicalism, must finally fight and Islamophobia.”
