OBSERVATOIRE DE L'ISLAMISATION DE LA FRANCE ET DE L'EUROPE
A new study released by the German government’s Interior Ministry has claimed that there are a million more Muslims in Germany than originally thought, bringing the total to 4.3 million or at least five percent of its population.
The study, commissioned by the Interior Ministry together with Germany’s Islam Conference, also showed that just under half of the Muslims in that country are now German citizens.
Previous estimates of the number of Muslims in Germany had been between 3.1 and 3.4 million.
The research conducted for the new study revealed that the actual figure is a million higher.
The reason for the huge increase is that the study’s authors took more countries of origin into account than had previously been the case, and also looked at the children of Muslims with German citizenship.
Regarding the issue of citizenship, the study revealed that around 45 percent of Muslims living in Germany have a German passport.
Almost two-thirds of Germany’s Muslims are of Turkish origin, the researchers found, while smaller groups come from Balkan countries such as Bosnia or Albania, the Middle East and North Africa.
Almost all live in the states of the former West Germany and Berlin, with the most living in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state.
The study also found that the majority of Muslims consider themselves religious. Around a third described themselves as “very religious” and a half said they were “somewhat religious.”
Some 76 percent said they wanted Islamic religious education classes in schools.
The study’s authors also found that the Muslim community is home to a disproportionately high level of school drop-outs, unemployed and poor people - particularly among immigrants of Turkish descent.
* In 2007, more than 16 million people in Germany were of non-German descent (first and second generation, including mixed heritage).
As the total population was some 82 million, this represents some 20 percent of the country’s population.
However, not all of these immigrants were of Third World origin, and estimates are that between 12 and 15 percent of the resident population of Germany are non-white.
Ominously, the young are more likely to be of foreign descent than the old.
Some 30 percent of the population aged 15 years and younger have at least one parent born abroad.
In the big cities, 60 percent of those aged 5 years and younger have at least one parent born abroad.
Germany has also been a prime destination for refugees from the Third World, primarily because its constitution long had a clause giving a ‘right’ to political asylum.
The German constitution, adopted after the Second World War, compelled the country to accept virtually any refugee who was fleeing political or social violence in their home countries.
As most of the Third World is continuously in strife, this was easy enough to prove, and millions of non-whites, fleeing their self-created chaotic countries, entered Germany in this way.
The massive Turkish influx has generated another issue in Germany: that of the creation of a numerically strong Islamic base there.
An article in Der Spiegel, Germany’s best-known news magazine, entitled
‘How Islam Came to Germany,’ by Ursula Spuler-Stegemann contains many important examples of how Muslims are replacing German culture with their own:
“Muslims have achieved a great deal and changed a number of things that many Germans once took for granted.
Nowadays, there are women-only swimming days for Muslims with female supervisors, where the pool windows are draped with heavy curtains to prevent outsiders from peering inside.
“Crosses have been removed from many hospitals and schools, and special Islamic prayer rooms have been introduced to factories and public buildings.
And there have been many other changes.
Muslim parents now seek to exempt their daughters from overnight school field trips and co-ed sports classes.
“The question of whether public employees should be allowed to wear Islamic headscarves has been referred to the courts, along with the issue of religious studies in schools.
Germany has already begun providing university education for its Muslim religious instruction teachers and imams.
“It appears the quiet settling-in period has been replaced by a loud and demanding phase.
This raises concerns among many Germans that the minority society may come to dominate the majority society.”
The largest source of non-white immigration into Germany has been from Turkey, although the liberal asylum laws that country had until the mid-1990s encouraged several million other non-white immigration waves from Africa and Asia as well.
As is the case elsewhere in Europe, the Third World immigration population is dramatically overrepresented in German crime statistics.
In Berlin, young male immigrants are three times more likely to commit violent crimes than their German peers.
Figures released by the German government in 2007 showed that 43 percent of all violent crimes in Germany were committed by people under 21 years of age, and that more than half were by foreign-born youth.
When the figures are adjusted to include the children of Third World immigrants, this figure climbs even higher.
Once again, this is reflected in the prison population, where, as early as 1997, some 27 percent of the prison population in 1997 was non-German.
No figures have been made public on prison inmates who are second or third generation descendants of Third World immigrants, but, given the statistics from elsewhere in Europe, no imagination is needed to draw the obvious conclusion
A new study released by the German government’s Interior Ministry has claimed that there are a million more Muslims in Germany than originally thought, bringing the total to 4.3 million or at least five percent of its population.
