a reaction to far-right Islamists becoming German citizens

I mean, its certainly reactionary. But so much of the response is hysterical. It isn't rooted in current events nearly so much as it is a response to mass media fixating on Muslims as The Other and overreporting - even straight up fabricating - events intended to make Muslims look uniquely dangerous.

the left is unable to address because it feels honorbound to tolerate intolerance from anybody

~~Antisemitism~~ Islamphobia is the Socialism of Fools.

German labor leaders need to incorporate migrant laborers into their coalitions or they will continue to be a wedge that drives apart the older generation from the new. As it stands, the miniscule number of new Muslim workers have become the scapegoats in a global capitalist project to dismantle European domestic industry.

Germans are turned at each others throats so that their landlords can pick their pockets and loot their corpses when the killing is done.
