Fighting Anti-Semitism in Berlin

The below article concerns the problem of anti-Semitism among Berlin's Muslim residents and the efforts of some Muslims to combat it by educating their people as to what Jews endured in Germany during the Third Reich.

My hat is off to the individuals mentioned in the article. The Kreuzberg area of Berlin was heavily Turkish the last time I was there. Traditionally, Turks have been secular in their approach to religion although with world events as they are, many are becoming more radicalized. It goes without saying that Germany has a special responsibility to combat anti-Semitism within their borders, and I think they are doing a pretty good job. It is always disturbing to read about antiu-Semitism in Europe, or anywhere for that matter, but also encouraging that some Muslims are willing to stand against it.
