Germany, like all of Western Europe (and the U.S. and Canada) has been blanketed with victimhood propaganda about “Islamophobia,” but it is not enough to overwhelm what people see with their own eyes: increasing jihad violence and Islamic supremacist thuggery. The article sees this understandable suspicion solely in terms of bigotry: “However, a second question asking how people thought Germany should deal with hostility to Muslims found that 53 percent of people believed that it should be treated as seriously as anti-Semitism….But a majority of 57 percent of AfD supporters still thought that hostility to Muslims was as serious as hatred against Jews.” Of course. Opposing jihad terror and Islamic supremacism is not the same thing as racial or ethnic prejudice or hostility to Muslims, despite the best efforts of Leftists and Islamic supremacists to equate the two. What Germany, and all Western states, must do is not allow the growth of a parallel society with its own culture and system of laws, existing within but not paying allegiance to the state. There should be equal justice for all, and one legal system applying to everyone, along with a call to Muslim communities to work for genuine assimilation and genuine reform of the violent and supremacist aspects of Islam.
“Islam ‘does not belong in German society’ – poll,” The Local, August 7, 2014 (thanks to Nicolai):
A majority of Germans have rejected former President Christian Wulff’s famous statement that “Islam is now also a part of Germany”, with 52 percent against the idea.
Just 44 percent of people surveyed by the Forsa opinion institute for Stern magazine agreed with the former head of state that Islam was part of Germany.
However, a second question asking how people thought Germany should deal with hostility to Muslims found that 53 percent of people believed that it should be treated as seriously as anti-Semitism.
Young people and supporters of the Green Party were most likely to look favourably on Islam, with 61 and 69 percent positive responses respectively.
Fifty percent of centre-left Social Democrat (SPD) supporters agreed Islam belonged in German society, while the conservative CDU/CSU’s number was just 36 percent.
People in East Germany and the over-60s were among the least likely to agree. Only 31 percent of Easterners and 39 percent of seniors sided with Wulff.
The least welcoming to Islam were respondents close to the eurosceptic party Alternative für Deutschland, 82 percent of whom did not think Islam was a part of German society.
But a majority of 57 percent of AfD supporters still thought that hostility to Muslims was as serious as hatred against Jews.

Islam is a Totalitarian-Supremacist ideology which intertains no
concept of “Equal Protection” under any Law. Their stated goal
is to usurp all secular law and install Sharia Law. Islam goes nowhere
to assimilate. Islam goes ONLY to Conquer, Submit, Convert, or Kill.

Spot on!

+1 on that!

The muslim scourge has permeated Europe, but these people never wanted to assimilate into their host country. Their intentions have always been hostile.
sujith says
They want to treat hostlity to muslims the same way as Anti-semitism ?
Germans are hopeless dolts.
I don’t see how they can ever save themselves from the coming islamic holocaust if they live with such absurd illogical equivalence.

Au contraire, mon ami!
Question: “Does Satan exist?”
Answer: The Bible explicitly informs us of the existence of Satan. He is described as the enemy of man (Genesis 3:15), the father of lies (John 8:44b), and the accuser (Revelation 12:10), among other things. The very name “Satan” means “adversary.” Isaiah 14:12–17 explains that Satan was originally an angelic being, but he decided he wanted the honor and worship due only to God and was thrown out of heaven (also see Ezekiel 28:11–17).
Ever since he was cast out of heaven (along with the angels who chose to rebel with him), Satan has made it his purpose to oppose God and lead the people of earth into rebellion as well. Satan has a certain authority in this world; he is called “the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4) and “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). That’s why we are to “be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

The devil’s biggest win is convincing people that he does not exist. You can’t protect yourself from, won’t even try to fight, something you don’t believe exists.
And yet, Jesus Christ, whom history has proven lived, and His followers are still increasing in numbers today, warned us about satan the devil. Christ told us to resist the devil as He resisted him.
We who believe Jesus know we are not deluded.
Move on from your assertions to constructive thinking.

The headline is not quite accurate: The survey didn’t yield results that a certain percentage felt that “Islam ‘does not belong in German society’ ” but rather disagreed with President Christian Wulff’s statement that “Islam is now also a part of Germany” (and, as the article clarifies disagreed with the former head of state that “Islam was part of Germany”. This isn’t the same as feeling Islam should not be a part. Also, notice the high numbers of people anxious to make sure they don’t support a “backlash” against Muslims.
