Racist treatment of Muslims in Germany reaches concerning level, study finds

More than 40% of Muslim men are experiencing racism in everyday life in Germany, according to a study released on Tuesday.

The report, published by the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (Dezim) in Berlin, says Muslims often experience discrimination as well in public offices and dealing with authorities, including police.

Among Muslim women, 46% said that they had often experienced discrimination in offices and authorities.

“Germany’s health care system is not free from discrimination either, where people who are racially marked are given worse appointments and their suffering is less heard,” said director of Dezim Institute.
