Key findings

Findings include, inter alia, that approximately 50% of the German population agree to anti-Muslim statements, associating the Islam with backwardness, violence and patriarchal norm systems. In school, for example, Muslim girls are often perceived as suppressed victims, while Muslim boys are assumed to be trouble makers.

Methodology (Qualitative/Quantitative and exact type used, questionnaires etc)

Meta report based on an analysis of 16 quantitative and qualitative studies, as well as at least 13 expert hearings with different stakeholders. Studies addressed (non-exhaustive list), perception of Muslim students in schools, terminology of anti-Muslim hatred in German social media, or Muslim experiences and perception of anti-Muslim- and anti-Islam-hatred in society. Both studies in row 13 and 14 were commissioned by the UEM.

Sample details and representativeness

Between 2020 and 2023, the Independent Group of Experts Anti-Muslim Hatred (UEM) has commissioned several studies, both quantitative and qualitative ones, and held over 90 meetings with the aim to investigate and analyse problem areas of anti-Muslim hatred in Germany. They cover educational settings, arts & culture, justice, administration and daily life. The study represents the final report, summarising all results, and is therefore based on a variety of methodological approaches.
