Anti-Muslim hate crimes on the rise in Germany since start of war

Anti-Muslim hate crimes and attacks on mosques have been on the rise since the start of the war on 7 October, according to the Germany based DITB organisation. 

The Turkish-Muslim organisation said that an increase in propaganda by far-right politicians, and biassed media coverage of the recent developments, have fuelled anti-Muslim sentiment in the country.

A report conducted by the organisation states that there have been 81 attacks against mosques since the beginning of this year, with nearly half of them recorded after 7 October.
