Anti -Semitism and Islam hostility: alarming study from Austria!

Wien, Österreich - An alarming study, carried out by the University of Vienna as part of the ORF project "What does Austria believe?", Shows a worrying increase in anti-Semitism and Islam hostility in Austria. The results published on January 7, 2025 come from a representative survey that was carried out between April and May 2024 with 2,160 participants. In view of the data, it becomes clear that about 39 percent of the respondents consider Christian and Islamic values to be incompatible, and 31 percent believe that the practice of religion should be restricted by Muslims. These facts not only illustrate the presence of prejudices, but also the urgent need for action to combat discrimination and prejudices, such as kathpress.at reported.

Muslim hostility as a problem for society as a whole

In addition to the study from Austria, the report “Muslim hostility - a German balance” by the independent group of experts reveals significant problems in dealing with anti -Muslim. This report, published on June 29, 2023, finds that anti -Muslim racism is widespread in German society and includes clear recommendations for action. The UEM urges educational institutions, police and judiciary to integrate racism -critical content into their training programs in order to combat institutional racism. These messages illustrate the need to promote narratives freed from prejudices in schools and the media in order to present a differentiated image of Muslim living environments, so Institut-fuer-menschenrechte.de .

The results of both studies have an urgent illustration of how anti -Semitism and Islam hostility must be regarded not only in Austria, but also in Germany as social challenges. It is also emphasized that the views and experiences of those affected should flow into the development of strategies to combat discrimination. In order to effectively counter the challenges, a comprehensive solution is required that includes education, legal measures and social dialogue.
