The reason for this is quite clear. The German government considers “Islamophobia” to be a much larger threat than that of jihad violence.
“Islam expert criticizes traffic light commitment against Islamism,” translated from “Islam-Expertin bemängelt Ampel-Engagement gegen Islamismus,” JournalistenWatch, June 12, 2022:
Frankfurt/Main – But the Islam expert will bite the bullet with this government: The Islam researcher Susanne Schröter criticizes the federal government’s lack of commitment in the fight against Islamism. “The federal government persistently sweeps the problem of Islamism under the carpet,” said the ethnologist of the “Welt am Sonntag.” And further: “Neither the high potential for violence nor the problems with Islamists in schools or the oppression of girls and women seem to worry the government.”
Schröter heads the Frankfurt research center Global Islam and is part of the expert group on political Islamism at the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The fact that this “no more than provisional” group faces a well-equipped independent group of experts on anti-Muslim hostility speaks “volumes anyway,” Schröter continued. According to a response from the federal government to a written request from the Union faction, which the “Welt am Sonntag” reports on, the expert group on Muslim hostility has its own office outside the Ministry of the Interior, which provides organizational support for the committee.
This enables it to conduct its own events and hearings and award expert reports and research contracts. According to the information, the Ministry of the Interior approved over 162,000 euros for the office in 2021 and over 473,000 euros in 2022. For the Islamism expert group, on the other hand, a total of 112,000 euros was planned for 2021 and only 132,000 euros for 2022.
It is organized by employees of the Ministry of the Interior – a 0.75 position and a 0.3 position are assigned here. The parliamentary group leader of the Union in the Bundestag, Andrea Lindholz (CSU), told the “Welt am Sonntag”: “The federal government coalition has so far largely ignored the danger of Islamism in Germany. Mrs. Faeser and the federal government are creating a security gap by doing nothing.”
Her group colleague Christoph de Vries (CDU) was also critical: “The urgently needed fight against Islamism, its ideology and its representatives is a blank spot on the political agenda of the federal government coalition.” The federal government groups defend their actions. “It is unfortunate that the Union faction, as always, acts with a one-sided view and blanket condemnations,” said SPD domestic politician Uli Grötsch.
“If they – like the SPD – stood for combating all forms of extremism, they would not have prevented the Democracy Promotion Act to the last.” Manuel Höferlin, domestic policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, said, on the other hand: “The progressive coalition takes the threat to political Islamism very seriously. “
Which progress coalition? At most, Islamization is progressing, but tremendously. The muezzin call, which confirms the autocracy of Islam, is being allowed in more and more cities, more mosques are being opened and not checked, and “infidels” are being bullied in schools. This government obviously has an interest in further cornering Christianity in Germany. (With material from dts)

The German govt may not perceive Islamophobia to be greater threat than jihad violence per se. They might be more keen to stifle any information that will lead to greater exposure of islam as an evil religion. Like UK they too want kill any information that would show islam in poor light. Anyhow the elites are proving to be good globalists and the utopian world-without borders.

Germany is a historical ally of Islam since the nineteenth century until now. As Russia was on the verge of inflicting a crushing defeat on the Ottoman Empire, the Germans sent their agent Lenin to carry out a coup d’état in Russia with the aim of extricating Russia from World War I, thus saving their ally the Ottoman Empire from a crushing defeat. Accordingly, it is the duty of any person with a moral motive and a sense of humanity to stand by Russia in facing the danger that German policy continues to represent in Europe and the world.

What a load of claptrap. Lenin was not German, but Russian. And Lenin was not alone–Russia was Communist for over seventy years–the idea that this was a German plot is just stupid. And Putin has said that the fall of the Soviet Union was the greatest tragedy–is Putin German as well? And Russia appears to be reembracing the Soviet Union in many ways, including raising statues of Lenin and flying the Soviet hammer-and-sickle flag. Is that Germany’s doing, as well?
Germany has a lot of stupid policies, no doubt–see above–but blaming them for the Soviet Union is just absurd.
And what “standing by Russia” means now is supporting their brutal invasion of Ukraine. Is *that* what Samer Ibrahim is advocating? It appears so.

Actually Lenin was not Russian. His mother´s family was from Sweden and the Baltic republic
Hi father was Chuvash and Kalmyk . No real Russians, and not even European, they just lived in the Russian Tsarist empire.
Lenin said that he was Russian, because he wanted to destroy Russia, though probably it would destroyed itself, because the disasterous Government and the totally incompetent tsar

Lenin was born in Russia, and his background is Russian, Swedish, German, Chuvas, and Kalmyk. This kind of mix is true of a great number of Russians.
The Chuvas are ethnically Turkic, and are native to native to an area stretching from the Volga-Ural region to Siberia. This region has been Russian for centuries.
The Kalmyk are ethnically Mongolian, and most are from the region of the Caspian Sea. This are as been Russian for centuries.
Really, many Russian apologists like to claim that Russia was never Communist–although it was the largest Communist country for decades–and that it was somehow mean non-Russians who forced them to embrace it for three-quarters of a century.
And you do not explain why Putin is re-embracing the Soviet Union. Putin was born in St. Peterburg. Is this somehow not in Russia, either?

Sadly I think only when Muslims kill millions of Europeans, will these imbeciles finally realize they made a mistake. Or perhaps this is what they want, to use Muslims to slaughter their opponents, or maybe they’re secret converts or were paid off by rich Arabs.
What’s worse is the morons that keep voting for pro-Islamic parties, while they continue to face daily murderers, rapes, riots and other crimes by Muslim hands.
So be it, I know which side I’ll be on if this turns into a civil or even a world war.

“Sadly I think only when Muslims kill millions of Europeans, will these imbeciles finally realize they made a mistake.”
The average Western European citizen is, at least, starting to realize the great mistake that the EU has made in regards to muslim migration.
One of the problems is that nearly all of the “leaders” would have to admit that they had made a horrific mistake – with no easy way of fixing it.

Germany: Government gives massive funding to ‘Islamophobia’ group but little money for research on jihad
……………………..
I can’t even pretend to be surprised.
nicholas tesdorf says
Many governments seem to believe that Islamophobia is the direct cause of Jihad actions by Muslims. However, No Indeed, the reverse is the Truth.

Andrew Blackadder says
I mentioned to some (ex) friends in Munich that Hitler loved the muslims so much that he even created, with the help of the mufti of Jerusalem, an islamic Army Platoon within the German Military, and though these friends whos own Mother was a Nazi 100%,from Bavaria, and her Father, from Berlin, served in the German Army during WW2, but she is ashamed of what her Father and Grandfather did in WW2 but she welcomes thousands, 1.5 Million, people into Germany today that hate the Jewish people and yet she is still ashamed of what her family did 70 odd years ago…She calls me a nazi, a racist, a bigot as she speaks with the muslim women in their head to toe black garbage bag clothing at the local market and they are all lovely friendly people towards her, but when I mentioned she speak with these women about their religion she said that was unimportant.
So being 100% ashamed of what her Nazi country did to the Jews all those years ago means that the best way to atone for that evil is to bring over one million people into Germany that hate the Jewish people even more, or at least as much, as her Nazi family did..
Like this makes ANY sense in the real world….
Samer Ibrahim says
Good comment. I do agree with you 100 percent. Moreover, Germany is the main supplier of weapons to Turkey. The last thing Merkel did before resigning was giving two submarines to Turkey.

Andrew,
Your ex-friends are Leftists.
They cannot handle factual evidence-based logic.

Sorry to hear this, Andrew. Not surprised, though.
