Muslims Assault and Intimidate German Students


Islam in Europe Two teachers from a Kreuzberg (Berlin) school recently wrote in the GEW Teachers’ Union paper of the anti-German harassment some German students experience in schools. They wrote that German students are threatened and bullied, and that the non-German students often receive help from relatives or friends in conflicts.

Berlin youth coach Oliver Lück says such incidents happen every day.

• Dennis (14) from Reinickendorf was pushed around and beaten. They (Muslims) could do whatever they wanted with him, and he had to pay protection money to the older foreign students. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and thought of suicide. Finally, his parents helped him.

• Lena (15) from Schöneberg – a confident teen, she died her head red and wore black clothes. When she came to the school, she was a foreigner among the other girls, who wore a headscarf. The girls whispered about her, they laughed at her and caller her the ‘fire alarm’. Lena began to smoke, and later started up with alcohol and harder drugs.

• Kevin (16) from Neukölln – There were hardly any Germans in his school. The Arab guys provoked him, first with insults, then tripped him and pushed him. At some point, he fought back, and found himself facing twelve boys, relatives of the attackers, who beat him up. From that point on he started dressing like his tormentors and imitating their language. He wasn’t beaten up anymore, but had to run errands for the others.

• Domitian E. was harassed because I speak German,” says Domitian. ”Altogether we were 29 students in the class, and besides me there was only one other German student,” he says. “The rest were mainly Arabs and Turks.”





From the first few days he was discriminated against, harassed and insulted. They cursed him behind his back since he came from a ‘smart’ school, and that his classmates often accosted him in groups, asking him why he didn’t speak like they did. His classmates spoke “Kanake German” (German with a foreign accent and foreign terms). Domitian says he didn’t want to speak that way. He avoid the other students and tried not to respond to them. Eventually, he avoided school and became increasingly sick.
