Claim: Muslim Translators Lie, Deny Muslim Harassment Of Christian And Yazidi Migrants

ICC Note: Muslim translators in Germany have continually lied and denied the truth of sectarian attacks against religious minority refugees. The problem began as a few isolated cases only to be uncovered as an almost systematic problem of translators supporting attackers and betraying those for whom they translate. The problem has come to surface after a German investigative broadcaster ARD uncovered the “gaping void between demand and reality.”

05/24/2016 Germany (Breitbart): Muslim translators, from whom the minorities sought help, “threw their support behind the attackers” and denied to authorities that harassment and violence is happening.

After an influx of more than a million migrants last year, German authorities are unable to find sufficient numbers of qualified and reliable translators of Arabic to meet demand.

The country’s Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) now recruits translators with a pamphlet which says that “in this work you will take on a great responsibility and we expect from you neutrality and reliability.”

But an investigative report by German broadcaster ARD uncovered that there is a “gaping void between demand and reality,” which causes a “nightmare” for numerous migrants.

A Yazidi migrant from Iraq told the public broadcaster that other migrants from the Middle East had verbally abused his group and threatened to beat them.  When he went to a translator, a Muslim, for help, the translator “negated it all” and “claimed that none of this even happened.”
