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.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.
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…..
