“This issue needs to be discussed as this seems to be a growing trend in Germany.”
In several places in Europe, I would expect the locals are very pissed off about the influx from islamic origins, primarily. At least in this example.
It appears in Germany, it goes to all newcomers, not limited to muslims.
I had a good friend years ago, who first moved from Bombay to Tehran, as he was Zoroastrian. That fact alone made him “Iranian” to those with little knowledge of history.
Anyway he found a happy life in the US, where for the most part we discriminate regarding who we discriminate against. I recall soon after 9/11/2001 some Sihks were beat up, no doubt by idiots who thought they were muslims.
Germans have a history in this regard. But it is just a few, and hopefully the government will track them down and punish them. I lived in Germany in the erly 70s, and at that time, I knew of no incidents of “white supremists” but I imagine there were a few.
I spent last summer in Dresden, the capitol of Saxony, and saw no evidence of a racist underground. Everyone I talked with seemed normal enough, and without exception, all were ashamed of the Nazi period.
In Dresden I went to language school with Indians, Arabs, Poles, Russians, Japanese, etc. etc. and no one that I knew ever complained of any discrimination or racism of any kind directed at them.
Neo-nazis in Germany have the same (or worse) reputation that they have in the states, i.e. low class hateful losers with too much time on their hands. Every country has a few such people...
