Germany: Study finds antisemitism four times higher among Muslims

Read more HERE for the reason why antisemitism is higher among Muslims. The global movement to garner support for the Palestinian “resistance” (which is actually a jihad from the River to the Sea), perpetuated not only by the Palestinian leadership, but also by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (See also HERE), is a good indicator of where Islamic authorities stand with respect to antisemitism.
Let’s hope this latest study by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation awakens the German government, which remains in willful denial.
Only three months ago, the German government reportedly took a “clear stance against antisemitism” while ignoring Islamic Jew-hatred.
In 2018, Angela Merkel admitted on a TV show that anti-Semitism was coming to the country from “refugees or people of Arab origin.”

Study Finds Muslims Much More Likely to Be Antisemitic Than Average
by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, July 26, 2023:
Analysis of research by the major German think tank the Konrad Adenauer Foundation has found Muslims can be over four times as likely to agree with antisemitic statements than the general population.
An investigation into the prevalence of antisemitic opinions in Germany has found, in general, that such views are vanishingly rare in the country, but that they are held to a much greater degree among some groups. Research conducted in 2022 and published this week which interviewed 5,511 people including 500 Muslims asked members of the public by telephone whether they agreed with some harmful tropes.

Research conducted in 2022 and published this week which interviewed 5,511 people including 500 Muslims asked members of the public by telephone whether they agreed with some harmful tropes.
It found just four per cent agreed with the statement “Jews are sneaky”, and that six per cent agreed with “rich Jews are the actual rulers of the world”. Israel also enjoyed overwhelming majority support, with four per cent saying it should not exist as a state.
Several demographic differentiators including where in Germany the respondent lived, their age, and gender made “almost no systematic difference” to the results, it was said.
Yet some factors, including holding hard left and hard right political opinions, low levels of education, and having a migration background increased the likelihood of holding antisemitic views, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation ‘Anti-Semitic Attitudes in Germany’ report found. Yet according to the paper, one factor was more influential than the others: holding the Islamic faith.
The report found “on average, people of Muslim faith show significantly higher agreement values [with antisemitic tropes] than Christians and non-denominational people”. Three times as many Muslims would agree that Jewish people are “sneaky”, it said its research discovered, and four times as many said Israel should not be a state…..
Actually, I'm surprised the numbers are that low. Perhaps some responders were afraid to express their real feelings. Also, as has been shown elsewhere in Europe, younger Muslims are more devout than older Muslims who are more likely to respond to a survey.
Unlucky for the Ambassador, he found one of the 4% of antisemitic Germans
Berlin restaurant throws out Israeli ambassador
Anti-Israel left-wing Israeli expat living in Germany orders Israeli ambassador out of his café.

Israel’s ambassador to Germany was ordered to leave a Berlin restaurant this week, after the owner recognized the ambassador as a representative of the State of Israel.
The incident occurred on Monday, when Avi Berg, an Israeli expatriate living in Berlin who owns the Café Dodo restaurant spotted Ambassador Ron Prosor in his establishment.
“I had the honor, about an hour ago, to tell the Israeli Ambassador to Germany – who was sitting in Dodo – that because he represents Israel and because he is implementing the unacceptable and manipulative policy [of Israel] which portrays all criticism of Israel as antisemitism – a policy that paints me and people like me as antisemites – he is not welcome in my café,” Berg wrote on Facebook.
That's because most criticism is Palestinian propaganda and outright lies.
“I asked him and his entourage of German guards to leave the establishment. And they did so immediately.”
Two days later, Berg told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he targeted Prosor as a representative of the State of Israel – not for any actions or comments by Prosor personally.
“I would like to emphasize that I did what I did specifically because the ambassador isn’t an individual but an official representative of the state of Israel and since he and the embassy are deeply involved in putting pressure on the Bundestag and on German media and institutions to block any criticism of Israel and to label any such criticism as antisemitism.”
“This diplomacy is implemented all over the world, but is especially effective in Germany… This policy is also very damaging against the fight against genuine antisemitism!”
Berg’s Facebook page includes numerous comments and posts of articles condemning Israel for “horrific racist crime[s].”
One post linked to an article by the far-left anti-Israel Mondoweiss.net blog titled “Yes, Israel is a racist state.”
Iran’s Quds Force leader: Man in Sweden
‘who disrespected the Quran should fear for his life’
JUL 28, 2023 11:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
For a leader of Iran’s Quds Force to threaten to murder a citizen inside another sovereign nation on grounds that are illegal only in Iran is nothing short of a declaration of war. The threat was against Salwan Momika, “an Iraqi immigrant, who burned pages from the Quran in front of the central mosque in Stockholm on the first day of Eid al-Adha.”
Momika is now living with a fear that is similar to that which is all too frequently experienced by religious minorities in Islamic countries (particularly Pakistan), who can easily be acccused of blasphemy. It is noteworthy that he is originally from Iraq. In Sweden, he should be safe, but given the “extraterritorial military and clandestine operations” of Iran’s Quds Force, Momika is not safe.
Ali Mohammadi-Sirat’s threat should be a top headline in every Western media outlet, as it shows the truth about how far Iran will go to demonstrate its contempt for the laws of Western nations.
It also demonstrates the unwillingness of Western media to stand up to Islamic hysteria.

Khamenei’s Man In IRGC Quds Force Threatens Quran Burners
Iran International, July 27, 2023:
The representative of Iran’s ruler in the foreign wing of the Revolutionary Guard has issued threats against the man who burned a Quran in Sweden last month.
Having said that, he makes it impossible for Sweden to hand over Momika even if they wanted to.
The incident involved Salwan Momika, an Iraqi immigrant, who burned pages from the Quran in front of the central mosque in Stockholm on the first day of Eid al-Adha, after obtaining a permit from a Swedish court. Some 200 onlookers witnessed him tearing up a copy of the Quran and wiping his shoes with the pages. He then put bacon on the book and set it on fire whilst another protestor addressed crowds with a megaphone. Momika repeated the desecration in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm on July 20. The following day, in neighboring Denmark, members of the far-right nationalist group “Danske Patrioter (Danish Patriots)” burned a copy of the Quran in front of Iraq’s Embassy in Copenhagen.
Iran’s Supreme Leader called for the severest punishment for the perpetrators, describing it as “a bitter, conspiratorial, and perilous act.” In an interview with IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency on Wednesday, Mohammadi-Sirat repeated Khamenei’s demands and stressed that these men will not be safe wherever they are, a similar fate to that of Salman Rushdie, an Indian-born British writer who was stabbed in August 2022 because of a death edict by Islamic Republic’s founder Ruhollah Khomeini. In the late 1980s, Khomeini issued a Fatwa for the killing of Rushdie for his book, Satanic Verses, seen by some Muslims as insulting to Prophet Muhammed. Iran also announced a reward for Rushdie’s killing……

India: Police bust Islamic State terror cell,
arrest noted doctor for his involvement
JUL 28, 2023 12:00 PM BY VIJETA UNIYAL
India’s counterterrorism police in the western state of Maharashtra have busted a terrorist cell affiliate to the Islamic State. On Thursday, security services arrested the fifth member of the so-called “Maharashtra ISIS module,” a sleeper cell plotting terrorist attacks on Indian soil. The members of the terror outfit included an IT engineer and a physician, media reports confirm.
The Islamic State, created in 2013 within the territories of Syria and Iraq, grew into a global jihadist force during President Barack Obama’s term in office. Under President Donald Trump’s watch, the ISIS caliphate in Syria and Iraq was wiped out by the U.S. military and allied forces. President Trump also ordered the airstrike that killed ISIS “caliph,” or chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
OK. Point made, but let's be honest, the ISIS caliphate was not 'wiped out' until Syria invited Russia to come in. They never invited the USA, and the American effort looked like it was going to go on for many years. This is how America and NATO move military arsenals, which is the whole point of modern warfare.
While the ISIS has lost its territories, the idea of an Islamic caliphate still holds sway among Muslims across the world, including India. The terrorist group enjoyed substantial following among Indian Muslims, particular in the Muslim majority areas. ISIS flags were repeatedly displayed at protest rallies and Islamic festivities in Kashmir.
