In a groundbreaking declaration:
“Practically all noteworthy Islamist organizations that are active in Germany” are tapping anti-Semitic themes as part of their ideology, chief of German domestic intelligence told Suddeutsche Zeitung. The newspaper revealed a report by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution….detailing some 700 anti-Semitic incidents involving Islamists and Muslims.
And in another stunning revelation, German authorities have been instructing that incidents of Islamic antisemitism be registered as “right-wing ones, blurring statistics.”
Last year, amid reports that violent antisemitism was on the rise, a government official warned Jews to avoid wearing kippahs in public. The German government’s antisemitism commissioner, Felix Klein, danced around the issue of Islamic antisemitism and the link between Muslim migration and continued escalation of this phenomenon. But coinciding with reports about the rise of antisemitism in Germany, the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies published a report: “German Intelligence Issues Taboo-Breaking Report on Muslim Antisemitism.” What is critical about this report – aside from its unique study of Islamic antisemitism – is that it establishes how Islamic antisemitism is transported through immigration.
Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel once remarked: “We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country.”
However, in another way, Germany appears to be headed in a hopeful direction:
The top intelligence agency in Germany has written what is being called its most comprehensive analysis of rising anti-Semitism by Islamist extremists.The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or BfV, described its 40-page brochure as a tool for educators, social workers, police and others who work closely with recent Muslim immigrants or refugees.
“Anti-Semitism rampant among Islamist organizations in Germany: report,” i24 News, June 4, 2020:
German authorities said to register Islamist anti-Semitic incidents as right-wing ones, blurring statistics
“Practically all noteworthy Islamist organizations that are active in Germany” are tapping anti-Semitic themes as part of their ideology, chief of German domestic intelligence told Suddeutsche Zeitung on Wednesday.
The newspaper revealed a report by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution — Germany’s version of Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) — detailing some 700 anti-Semitic incidents involving Islamists and Muslims.
Without revealing names, the report mentions a Furkan Foundation outlet clerk informing their guests that Jews are “are worth less than animals,” an imam at a mosque run by Millî-Görüş organization calling for Palestine to be freed from the “evil Beni Israel” and a teacher of Syrian descent proclaiming that “all Jews belong in the gas chamber.”
The newspaper noted that the cases are indicative of a “virulent” nature of anti-Semitism among members of Islamist groups; in some cases, anti-Semitic abuse also came from Muslims without radical group affiliations…..

Auf wiedersehen, Germany.

I think it’s a good idea to put Islamists and racists together, but neither have anything to do with being conservative or liberal. They are illegitimate political positions, not simply “far” this or that. That has always been a slur.
medforth says
Germany now blatantly sides with Islamists
The newspaper Wormser Zeitung reports:
Ditib, Turkey, Islamic extremism – to lump them all together is insufficient for Thomas Haldenwang and misses the point. During his visit to Mainz on Friday, the President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesverfassungsschutz) called for a differentiated view of the controversial Islamic association. Rhineland-Palatinate has just signed target agreements with Ditib. However, a contract will only be discussed when Ditib Rhineland-Palatinate cuts its dependence on the federal association and thus on the Erdogan government in Turkey. Haldenwang in no way denied Ditib’s links with Ankara: after the failed coup in 2016, Ditib was used to spy on the Turkish community in Germany. The financial dependence of the mosques on Turkey and the state religious authority there, Diyanet, was obvious. But: This influence was just still “no religious view”. He did not see Erdogan as an Islamist and refused to place Ditib under the “general suspicion” of Islamic extremism. “I would have to worry if Islamist preachers were working in Ditib mosques.” However, he currently sees influence from this side “only selectively but not nationwide”.
Even Wikipedia classifies the Ditib as anti-Semitic and Islamist:
The Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DİTİB; German: Türkisch-Islamische Union der Anstalt für Religion e.V.; Turkish: Diyanet İşleri Türk-İslam Birliği) is one of the largest Islamic organisations in Germany. Founded in 1984 as a branch of the Presidency of Religious Affairs in Ankara, it is an “arm” of the Turkish state.[1]The headquarters are in Cologne–Ehrenfeld.
As of 2016, the DITIB funds 900 mosques in Germany.[1]
The imams and the religious teachers, officially classified as civil servants of the Turkish state, are trained in Ankara and sent to Germany from Turkey.[2] DITIB claims it is independent of the Government of Turkey.[2] Because the state back then[when?] was almost bankrupt, the officials had to be paid with money from the Muslim World League, which provoked protest from secularists. The fixation on Turkey and the Turkish language proved to be a handicap, because other Islamic organisations used German language in public. The usage of German was seen by many to be more dialogue-friendly.
Homepages of local Ditib chapters have featured christophobic, antisemitic and anti-Western hate speech.[3]
The obvious partisanship for Islamists even by Merkel’s constitutional protection authorities shows the direction of German policy: against the West, which today means above all against the Anglo-Saxon world. The Nazis also dreamed of destroying Anglo-Saxon capitalism and Judaism in cooperation with the Third World. The East German communists, whose schools Merkel attended, had the very same dream.
The next war to come will be the one between the Free World and Merkel’s Germany and its allies.

The Germans can sometimes be a bit slow to catch on – schwer von Begriff – as they say, but once they get a handle on something, they will not let go! This is essentially a good development. Calling out Islamic dogma as right-wing Jew-hatred gives the authorities a route to tackle the problem without having to put up with the so-called Islamophobia flak that will come pouring in from the fascist-left and fellow travelers.
Dawne says
I don’t agree. What often happens in the MSM is that there are reports of anti-semitism, which are typically ascribed to the “far right” and no names (which would typically indicate ethnicity/religion) are allowed to be published. Note that in Germany in particular there are very strict laws prohibiting the publication of names of accused/convicted criminals. So in the minds of the “people” i.e. those who do not care to educate themselves intelligently (and unfortunately I’d say the majority of young people), the anti-semitism is “far right” and therefore “committed by white racists”.
Unless the crime is actually reported as being carried out by “Islamic” individuals, or at the very least the names of the perpetrators are published, then in the minds of most people ALL anti-semitism will now be linked with WHITE right wing individuals or groups, rather than with the Islamists who actually have committed the crime.
gravenimage says
Buraq–with all respect–what this actually does is give Germany a chance to bury Muslim antisemitism entirely, while falsely blaming it on conservatives–including Anti-Jihadists.
Søren Ferling says
The left-right divide is an European fenomen – islam is ‘traditional’.
Kesselman says
“Blurring statistics” of the part of the German government are just what are going to delegitimate official declarations. That the MSM is following suit as a wagging dog-tail don’t clarify the picture.—The beginning of blurring reality is exactly what constitutes a society’s vaporization. That happened in the by-gone Soviet Union. The communist government and their lackeys in the press told one (their) truth—while the average population saw another reality—the reality they could see and feel with their senses. That brought the evil system to its knees. And that will happen to Germany and the EU sooner or later.
b.a. freeman says
“that will happen to Germany and the EU sooner or later.”

well, Kesselman, perhaps it might have, were islam not islamic, but consider that EUrabia (including UKistan) will both be fully islamic by the time people reach that realization. the soviets failed because they insisted on their own reality, but islam works with the worst of human nature, right here in the real world … and it has been ruining the lives of the ummah – not to mention ENDING the lives of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of non-muslims – over the past 14 centuries in an almost unending (except for the past 200 years or so, when the west was in the ascendant) stream of genocide, mass rape, mass murder, mass theft, mass slavery, and pure EVIL.
so don’t count on it. instead, hope for civil war and people waking up VERY soon. as bad as that scenario is, it’s far better than unending islam (which also means the end of civilization).
jewdog says
It’s not called Islamo-fascism for nothing. Islamic culture, with its attitudes towards women, minorities, the use of violence and prohibitions on free speech is certainly far right in a western sense. And where the Nazis hid their crimes, the most gruesome terrorist attacks are openly celebrated by Muslim enthusiasts.
It’s time for Germany to take a hint from Austria, and give up its malignant fantasy of somehow integrating hordes of Muslims and still be free of her Nazi past.

Germany: Authorities instruct that incidents of Islamic antisemitism be registered as “right wing”

Does this mean that the German authorities have realised their mistake? Have they finally got around to noticing that their Muslim communities are just not the same as others? Have they finally got it through their thick heads that Islam is not for changing no matter where it may be on this planet? Is common sense returning? Islam is a curse on humanity. All countries need to wake up to the dangers of Islam in the places they live. Protect your wives, mothers, daughters, grandmothers from the Muslim scourge creeping across the world. Remember the grooming gangs in Britain and remember that no amount of appeasement will ever change the mindset of Muslims. British authorities allowed young girls to be used as sacrificial lambs in order to hide the scandal of grooming gangs. The outcome? The gangs simply carried on regardless, and the authorities kept hiding it!! Nowadays, anyone who speaks out against Islam is considered to be “Right Wing” because they don’t agree with the government hiding this disgraceful episode.
Dawne says
No I don’t think they have woken up. In fact I think this is a further step to muddy the waters and to make the majority of ill-educated citizens believe that anti-semitism is a “far right” issue, inextricably linked in the mind with white, potentially neo-nazi individuals or groups. Far right = white racists in most peoples’ minds.

Good posts, Dawne and James.
And James, despite the fact that I am liberal in many ways, and support women, gay people, and almost unbridled freedom of expression, I am still considered “far right” for opposing the horrors of Jihad. Madness.

Thank you for your reply.
I also “support women, gay people, and almost unbridled freedom of expression”.
I recently wrote a very robust letter of recommendation for a gay physician assistant that landed him a nice six-figure job…

Of course , to blurr statistics , incidents of antisemitism are reported as right wing ones as instructed by German authorities . It’s sickening , everywhere there is this religion of peace there is deceit an deception and again deceit and deception .I didn’t expect anything else from the followers of the religion of peace since their holy book says “War is deceit….” but for western authorities to join in on it makes me wanna puke and never stop.
jca reid says
Seems fair, after all the Muslims in the Middle East supported the Nazis before, during & after WW2. So, in my view that makes them “Extreme Right Wing.” What is strange though, is labelling people opposed to this ideology as “Right Wing.” Then again, there maybe different levels of “Right Wing”.
What is certain though is an Orwellian “Newspeak” Language is developing with a strange collusion between Politicians, MSM & other Institutions which does not bode well for the ordinary Citizens.
Dieks62 says
This has nothing to do with right wing, but is all left wing: the same tactics are being tried here in ?? by our treasonous Librat government, who have equally gone full-out on trying to deceive the population, skewing the statistics, while covering up for the actual perpetrators of anti-semitism, so not having to take responsibility & action against the actual perpetrators! Shitting in their own nest will bite them in the ass sooner then later; conservative right-wingers, who represent the majority of white German natives won’t take this lying down and no doubt it will result into actions, compounding the problems which the German authorities have created themselves! Germany is self-destructing in front of the eyes of the world and will fall like the Roman empire once did!
Rob Roy says
To mention it again: numbers from the jewish community… antisemitic crime in Germany: unchanged since early 70s by percentage.60% islam 30% left 10% right
rightwing terror in Germany as the Europol report 2019 stated makes 1.5% (one point five)…
But government focuses on these small numbers with the excuse of history, at least as they view or demand how history has been.
Peter Clemerson says
Question to Christine D-W.
Your report that “German authorities have been instructing that incidents of Islamic antisemitism be registered as “right-wing ones, blurring statistics.” is vague and lacks the punch it could have were it more specific. Which authorities, which organizations and who are the Chief Executives who run them and which politicians/ministers do they answer to? I appreciate that sources might need to be protected, but something more concrete than “authorities” is needed in order for this charge to stick.
With respect,
Peter Clemerson
