It’s much more likely to be a result of what the Qur’an and Sunnah teach about Jews, but today’s “experts” are at war with reality, and so they will never take notice of the fact that the Qur’an demonizes the Jews in numerous ways. It depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“Germany: ‘Experts’ Say ‘Islamophobia’ Behind Muslim Anti-Semitism,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, April 3, 2019:
Rising ‘Islamophobia’ in Germany is behind anti-Semitic attitudes amongst Muslim youths living in the country, according to a study by taxpayer-funded “experts”.
The findings of a three-year project to highlight and tackle anti-Semitism in Muslim school pupils in Germany were published in a report announced by the Federal Agency for Civic Education (FACE) Monday, entitled ‘Extremism out — Empowerment instead of anti-Semitism’…
Funded by the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF)…
According to the 178-page report, so-called Islamophobia in Germany along with the allegedly “profound, traumatic consequences” of “discrimination and violating experiences” that they face in the country play a big part in Muslim anti-Semitism.
Educators should tackle “the challenge of dealing with” anti-Semitic attitudes in “adolescent members of the Muslim faith”, many of whom have been “devalued and discriminated themselves against as a result of Islamophobia”, by “mak[ing] them aware of other forms of group-focused enmity” where they can recognise others’ “socially marginalised position”, the report says.
Asserting that “many members of Germany’s Muslim minority are looking for an even smaller minority to scapegoat for their own discriminatory theories”, it states that “the full inconsistency of these views only becomes clear when the teenagers learn their minority… is in a similar victim position”.
“From this perspective, they then demand similar solidarity processes as are had by organisations for the Jewish community,” says the report, though it stresses that teachers should use language in a “sensitive, conscious” way to impress upon young people that Germany is a “nation of immigrants” with no differentiation between “The Germans” and “The Muslims”.
In addition to Islamophobia, the study also noted there was “a clear connection between fundamentalist religious views and anti-Semitism” and “so-called Israel criticism and anti-Semitism among Muslim youths”, the background of which it said stems from an “imagined Muslim or ethnic collective identity”.

Can’t even read past the headline. I have a bias that Germans are smart. Don’t want to be dissuaded.
Westman says
I remember as children we played an equivalent illogical game. We would skip down the sidewalk, avoiding the seams and cracks, exclaiming, “Step on a crack and you’ll break your mother’s back!”
I also remember the US “Golden Fleece Award” that was given for wasteful spending of taxpayer money. This German antisemitism “study” certainly deserves one.
The Quran, Hadith, and Sira are like pomegranates; there is a seed of hatred for Jews and unbelievers in every bite. Any study of antisemitism among Muslims that doesn’t include reading them is a fraud.
Jews are specifically labelled for destruction by Islam’s doctrines. Muslim nations attempts to destroy Israel are based in the humiliation of having Jews on their doorstep in contradiction to the promises of Allah. What does a Muslim father say when his indoctrinated son, who was taught in his school to refer to Jews as animals, asks, “Why does Allah allow Israel to exist?”
Yes, it’s difficult to believe that scientists once learned German to keep up with the latest developments. Between WWII, socialism, and now salting itself with jihadis, it seems like some mentally ill person that cuts his own body.

Mehdi Hasan:
“It pains me to have to admit this but anti-Semitism isn’t just tolerated in some sections of the British Muslim community; it’s routine and commonplace. Any Muslims reading this article – if they are honest with themselves – will know instantly what I am referring to. It’s our dirty little secret. You could call it the banality of Muslim anti-Semitism.”

No need for head-scratching or quasi-intellectual “reports”, when push comes to shove, you can invariably find a muslim whose conscience overcomes his/ her taqiyya sensor…….

I remember when the Germans were considered to be intelligent. Times change and so do perceptions. Any people that would elect an uber-swine like Merkel need their heads examined. That weibchen has single-handedly destroyed the strongest nation in Europe.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Several things contributed to the decline in German intelligence. First, the removal of the entire Jewish population, having fled or been murdered. How many physicists, mathematicians, medical researchers, professors of art history, did the Western world gain ? Second, many of the most intellectually (and morally) advanced non-Jewish Germans, who opposed the Nazis, either fled Germany, never to return, or were killed. What do you think th did to the I.Q. level? Third, there is what Thilo Sarrazin noted in his book “Germany Undoes Itself,”about the comparatively low I.Q.’s of Muslim immigrants, and what that has been doing to German society. Just imagine the effect in the schools on German students now having as classmates of large populations of lower-IQ Muslims, who also need special language training — what must be the effects on the German teachers and students alike? Can the formerly high levels of instruction be maintained with such a different student population? Anecdotal evidence, and not just from Germany, but also from France and the U.K., suggest not. But how many teachers dare speak up about this matter? It would get them fired.
andra says
The German Governments do not want to maintain the high standards in education. Educated people can think. And thinking people would start standing up against the mass invasion.
I remember my parents were at School during WW2. But nonetheless they were much better educated than me – school years in the 70ies – although we had the same Level of education. Today the students can hardly read an write when leaving school let alone maths. It is horrible to glance at the doom of your nation without being able to fight back.

Hugh, there are a lot of intelligent Germans who prefer to keep their thoughts to themselves in order not to be called a Nazi, lose their job, get reprimanded by their employer, and be the redheaded stepchild of the neighborhood. They also keep their thoughts to themselves in order to shield their children from attacks from children of politcally correct leftist parents and to avoid having the Antifa pay them a visit. When my mother told me about the times under Hitler and his accomplices and friends told me about their time in the GDR, I was hoping that I and my family would never have to endure times like that. A la, we are having times like that again. By the way, anyone in Germany can call him- or herself an expert provided they can finish a complete sentence.

Hugh Fitzgerald says
Always to be treated as victims, ,these murderously antisemitic Muslims, who according to these German “experts”are only reacting to “islamophobia.” But where was the “Islamophobia” over the past 1,400 years, when Jews, like other non-Muslims, were subject to conquest and subjugation by aggressive Muslims? What “Islamophobia”explains Muhammad’s attack on the Jewish farmers of the Khaybar Oasis? His participating in the killing of 600-900 Jewish prisoners of the Banu Qurayza? Was Hajj Amin el Husseini reacting to “Islamophobia” when he met with Hitler and encouraged him to keep up the good work in ridding Europe of its Jews, and in not allowing them to find refuge in Palestine? Are Yousef al-Qaradawi, the best-known Sunni cleric in the world, or Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar University, in their antisemitic vaporings, only responding to “Islamophobia”? What “islamophobia” have al-Qaradai or al-Tayeb ever had to endure? Or are they simply taking the many antisemitic Qur’anic verses, compiled above by Robert Spencer, to heart?
What “Islamophobia” can Muslims in Germany complain of? Chancellor Merkel has welcomed two million of them into Germany. They have been given every possible benefit that an advanced welfare state can provide: free or subsidized housing, free medical care, free education, family allowances (which increase with each additional child), unemployment benefits even in the absence of any prior employment in Germany. There has been no wave of “Islamophobia,” no attacks on Muslims. But there have been attacks by Muslims, on Jews on German streets, and attacks, too, by Muslims on German women and girls, as in Cologne on New Year’s Day, 2016, when 2,000 women and girls were assaulted by 1,400 Muslim males.
The behavior of Muslims toward non-Muslims is explained not by an entirely factitious “Islamophobia” — a mendacious term meant to sully and silence all legitimate criticism of Islam — but, rather by what is inculcated in the Qur’an and Hadith. Muslims are commanded in more than 100 Qur’an verses to “fight” and to “kill” Unbelievers, to “smite at their necks,”and to “strike terror in their hearts.” They are told that non-Muslims are “the most vile created beings.” They are told “not to take Christians and Jews as friends, for they are friends only with each other.” Muhammad himself boasts in a famous hadith that “I have been made victorious through terror.”
The political and media elites in Germany did not bother to learn enough about Islam and, as a consequence, did not warn against the effects of admitting two million Muslim migrants into Germany, a country whose laws and mores those migrants do not respect and whose people they are taught to despise as non-Muslims. These “experts” certainly are not going to admit that they were dangerously, dead wrong. It’s too late to undo the terrible damage they have done. So the “experts” insist that the antisemitism of Muslim migrants was never prompted by what they had learned in the Qur’an and Hadith, but was merely a reaction to the “islamophobia” these innocent migrants experienced. But there are hardly any Jews in Germany; why
why did the “islamophobia” these migrants claim to have experienced lead to Muslim antisemitism and but not lead to an upsurge in anti-Christain feeling among Muslim migrants?
The “experts” who are being relied on have been unwilling to consider an examination of the contents of the Qur’an and hadith. What they would find there are several dozen Qur’anic verses denouncing Jews, for for exhibiting every conceivable hostility toward inoffensive Muslims. But they see their task as hiding these verses from the public, lest they get the wrong idea about Muslims, and conclude, as the late Karl Lagerfeld did, that Germany should not be making amends for the Holocaust by inviting in millions of Muslim migrants who bring their antisemitism with them, and make life difficult and dangerous for Germany’s present-day Jews.
Rarely says
If I understand (or misunderstand — more likely) the snips quoted, the report is blaming Islamic anti-Semitism on the lack of warm fuzzies extended to the muslim community. It’s a lack of warm hugs and daffodils to be blamed. This explanation is even too perverse for the muslim community to have thought up — it would take a collection of complete idiots.
It’s as if the report is saying that Jews themselves (with the help of the rest of German society) are responsible for Islamic anti-Semitism by not being more welcoming of the muslims as if it is something brand new. If that is so the Report itself is classic anti-Semitism.
Edmund Carey says
Is it certain that all the verses cited refer to Jews? The term “Jews” doesn’t appear in all of them.
Westman says
That’s a bit like saying government projects don’t mention the word, “taxes”. You have to study deeper to get to the core. You can be certain that Mr. Spencer never quotes anything that is not well defined in Islam. Imams refuse to debate him because he uses their own scriptures and doctrines which they cannot refute without appearing to be apostates or taqiyya artists. Successful taqiyya is dependent on Western laziness-based ignorance.
gravenimage says
Yes, all of these citations are about Jews.
Lydia Church says
Let’s cut through the mumbo jumbo and put it on the table in plain English:
1. Antisemitism comes from islam, because the koran teaches the hatred of Jews.
2. islamophobia comes from islam, because people see the fruits of islam and they don’t like it.
3. Hatred of other groups by muslims comes from: islam! Again. Because the koran teaches it.
And the cycle continues. Mystery solved!
This bit gets to the heart of their motive:
“From this perspective, they then demand similar solidarity processes as are had by organisations for the Jewish community,” says the report, [there’s that word again… ‘solidarity’!]
…..though it stresses that teachers should use language in a “sensitive, conscious” way [awww! so warm and fuzzy, no?]
……to impress upon young people that Germany is a “nation of immigrants” with no differentiation between “The Germans” and “The Muslims”.
[Only that muslims get preferential treatment…! It will soon be a nation of only immigrants… muslim immigrants.]
….the study also noted there was “a clear connection between fundamentalist religious views and anti-Semitism” ….. [hmmm… could they mean ‘islamic’ fundamentalist religions views?]
…..and “so-called Israel criticism and anti-Semitism among Muslim youths”, the background of which it said stems from an “imagined Muslim or ethnic collective identity”. [shall we call it imagined islamic supremacy?]
Hmmm…..

Germany: Taxpayer-funded report claims Islamic anti-Semitism is a result of “Islamophobia”
……………….
Good God, what tripe. Firstly, of course, Muslim antisemitism dates back to the “Prophet” himself, and is rife in the Qur’an and Hadith.
Then, Muslims have *more* opportunities in Germany than in most of Dar-al-Islam.
Finally, why would Muslims focus on hating Jews, who are just a tiny minority in Germany?
Just more self-blaming bs.
somehistory says
moslims are taught from infancy whom they should hate. moslims are taught to hate Jews and Christians. moslims are taught that they should not just hate, but kill Jews and Christians.
In moslim majority countries where moslims are the government, no one worries about Jew-hatred because they all have it, and there are very few Jews to complain about it…if they dare to.
moslims are brought into Western counties where moslims are not the majority and do not run the governments and anti-Semitism is, at the very least, frowned upon…and the moslims don’t like it that way.
moslims are not taught self-control…a fruit of God’s Holy Spirit…and they say what they wish…even if it is against what the country finds acceptable speech. They voice their Jew hatred…by words and actions.
And in Germany, a study about it is funded by “Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF.):. The “office” that is all for bringing more moslims into the country…and doesn’t want the blame for the Jew hatred to fall upon those doing the hating…but upon those who are not responsible.
Any thing to keep moslims from being held accountable for their actions.
Butch says
They are so right, so dear politicians, please, please bring in another 1 to 1,5 million, just to prove to the world that Germans are the most virtuous people on this planet and furthest thing from being islamophobic.
