Germany to open first center to report crimes against Muslims

Author: inp

A populous western German state will open the country’s first anti-Muslim racism reporting center in spring 2025, local media reported. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia, home to more than 1.7 million Muslims, will establish the center, called MEDAR, to document and report attacks and crimes targeting Muslims. The center, which will be set up by the state government, will also track other racist activities directed at non-Muslim foreigners, public broadcaster WDR reported on Friday. Planned to open by March or April 2025, MEDAR is the fruit of three years of preparations. North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state with a population of over 18 million, will become its first to launch a dedicated reporting center for anti-Muslim incidents. The state has witnessed several attacks on Muslims and their places of worship. In January 2022, numerous Muslim graves in the city of Iserlohn were vandalized, with headstones broken and overturned.
