Abstract This chapter identifies ten key dominant Islamophobic narratives and the ten key dominant counter narratives to Islamophobia operating in Germany. Islamophobic narratives were found to fix Muslims collectively as in descending order of prevalence, a threat to security, unassimilable, a demographic threat, an Islamization threat, a threat to local, national, and European identity, responsible for excessive women’s oppression, essentially different and violent, incomplete citizens and a risk to the majority, and essentially homophobic.
