Germany sees rise in anti-Muslim attacks as far-right groups try to exploit domestic crises to stir hatred against minorities - rights group
An official at anti-discrimination group in Germany says far-right groups are trying to exploit the ongoing economic and energy crises to stir hatred against minorities, and Muslims in particular.
“We are also increasingly seeing from our community that not only men, but also women who wear the hijab and niqab are exposed to much more physical attacks like spitting, and this has actually increased significantly in recent years,” he continued. During the first six months of 2022, German authorities recorded 152 Islamophobic attacks, with at least seven people injured.
Demir said it is important for Muslims and minorities to be more politically active to strengthen democracy and counter the rise of the far-right.
