German Intelligence Agency Issues Report on Muslim Anti-Semitism


(BESA Center for Strategic Studies-Bar-Ilan University) Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld - The German Agency for Domestic Security recently published a report entitled "Anti-Semitism in Islamism." It is the first official publication by a national body that exposes in detail the anti-Semitism originating in parts of the country's Muslim community. The report defines Islamism as a form of political extremism among Muslims that aims to eliminate democracy. The report states that a pattern of common, "daily" anti-Semitism is widespread in the social and political center of German society, and that anti-Semitic opinions in Islamism are even more far-reaching. It notes that the arrival of more than a million Muslims in Germany between 2014 and 2017 increased the influence of Islamist anti-Semitism inside the country. The writer is a former chairman of the Steering Committee of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
