Incidents of prejudice and violence against Muslims in Germany are increasing, an alliance of German organizations say, warning the real number could be far fighter due to lack of trust in governmental institutions.
In its annual report, released on Tuesday, the CLAIM coalition recorded 3,080 cases of anti-Muslim incidents in 2024, up from 1,926 in the previous year.
The figures are not directly comparable, as the number of advisory centers rose from 17 to 26 over the course of the year.
Around 70% of the people affected were Muslim women, the group said.
Muslim adults and children in Germany are demonized as anti-Semites, terrorists and knife-wielding criminals, reflecting portrayals of the community in social media, political debates and wider society, the report said.
