German intel issues taboo-shattering report on Islamic anti-semitism

The German intel service has done something positive, releasing a report focusing on Muslim antisemitism, though it appears it still has some political correctness dwelling within:
Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the country’s domestic security agency, recently published a 40-page report titled “Anti-Semitism in Islamism.” This is the first official publication by a national German body that exposes, in reasonable detail, the anti-Semitism prevalent among parts of the country’s Muslim community. Indeed, no European intelligence agency has ever published a report on Muslim anti-Semitism.

The report’s title doesn’t quite reflect its content, but the more accurate title of “Anti-Semitism and Islam” was no doubt considered politically unacceptable. In many [although not all] of the quotes below, “Islamist” should be replaced by “Muslim.”

The report defines Islamism as a form of political extremism that aims to end democracy. Anti-Semitism is one of its essential ideological elements.

Many Muslims are not anti-Semitic, but the anti-Semitism problem in Islam is far from limited to people with extreme political views, or even to religious Muslims. The report notes that individuals with no known prior connections to “organized Islamism” have caused many anti-Semitic incidents. Islamism, the report maintains, was probably not the direct cause of a substantial number of incidents.
I don't think that's a good idea to say "many" Muslims aren't antisemitic. Consider Haj-Amin Husseini, the mufti who was a leading ally to the nazis during WW2. Besides, the religion itself poses the problem, as the report itself makes clear.
Just a year-and-a-half ago, Muslim anti-Semitism was a taboo topic in Germany, in particular for the country’s politicians. This despite it being generally known that Muslims had been responsible for major anti-Semitic incidents in the country.

The document starts by stating that for historical reasons, and in view of the country’s experience with National Socialism, anti-Semitism was long viewed as being inevitably related to the extreme Right. It has only gradually become clear that right-wing extremists do not hold a monopoly on anti-Semitism in Germany today. The report states that a pattern of “daily” anti-Semitic incidents is widespread in the social and political mainstream of German society. In addition, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism exist among leftist extremists.

The authors state that anti-Semitic opinions in Islamism are even more far-reaching. Religious, territorial and political motives combine into an anti-Semitic worldview. All Islamist groups have as a central pillar the concept of Judaism as the enemy.
Amazing they're willing, after all the incompetence they've shown over the years, to be more open about this. But if they're implying the nazis were "right-wing" despite it being an acronym for National Socialism, they're being incredibly dumb, and not willing to admit leftism can and has proven itself one of the worst conduits of evil in history.

For now, it's good they were willing to show the courage to publish this report.
