Islamophobic Attacks in Germany Leave Over 40 Injured in 2024

New government data reveals a concerning rise in violence against Muslims, highlighting the urgent need for protective measures.

The number of injuries from islamophobic crimes in Germany has increased to 42 in the first three quarters of 2024, including four serious injuries.
These figures represent a 50% rise compared to the same period in 2023, when 28 injuries were reported.
Petra Pau of Die Linke obtained the data through a parliamentary inquiry, which underscores the growing threat faced by individuals perceived as Muslim.
The third quarter of 2024 saw a decline in reported cases compared to the second quarter, though the violence of attacks has intensified.
Authorities caution that the numbers are preliminary, as islamophobic motives may only be identified during ongoing investigations.
