The day of action was launched by the Council of Muslim Students and Academics, RAMSA e.V. in 2015 to draw attention to the increasingly extreme anti-Muslim racism in Germany and Europe.
The starting point for the day against anti-Muslim racism on July 1 is the murder of Marwa El-Sherbini, who was killed in Dresden District Court on July 1, 2009 for anti-Muslim motives. The perpetrator had racially insulted her and her child a year earlier, which is why El-Sherbini had filed a criminal complaint. She was summoned as a witness in the associated appeal proceedings on the day of the murder.
In 2020, the Federal Ministry of the Interior officially recorded 1,026 Islamophobic crimes, but experts believe that the number of unreported cases is far higher.
On leaving the hall, the accused attacked the young woman and stabbed her fatally 18 times. Her husband rushes to her aid and is himself wounded by a shot fired by a police officer. The officer mistook him for the attacker.
Everyday attacks and discrimination were discussed on social media under the hashtag #KeinPlatzfürHass (#NoPlaceForHate), and numerous local campaigns were held across Germany.
