The veil of pretense.
Germany went for other authoritarians, but Sharia is so counter to the culture they knew (unlike the policies of the other said authoritarians) that I believe this time, yes, it WILL prove unacceptable. There may be a bit of a civil war over it, though.
Is private gun ownership allowed in Germany ?
The first part remains true but the 2nd part may not. In fact one of those authoritarians that Germany went for, Adolf Hitler, day dreamed of how great it would have been if Germans were Islamic rather than Christians.
Hitler was an admirer of Islam. Two of Hitler's close associates - who where among the few who survived the war and the Nuremberg trials - provide the final word on this. Both Speer and Bormann published books with Hitlers actual words on which Religion inspired him.
Martin Bormann's (Nazi Chancellor) "TABLE TALKS 1941-1944" are the transcripts of Hitler's conversations. It contains this Hilter quote from 8/21/42:
"Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers—already you see the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity!—then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so."Albert Speer (Minister for Armaments) wrote in his "Inside the Third Reich" the following:[ http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Hitler ]
'Hitler had been much impressed by a scrap of history he had learned from a delegation of distinguished Arabs. When the Mohammedans had attempted to penetrate beyond France into Central Europe during the eighth century, his visitors had told him, they had been driven back at the Battle of Tours. Had the Arabs won this battle, the world would be Mohammedan today. For theirs was a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. The Germanic peoples would have become heirs to that religion. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament. Hitler said that the conquering Arabs, because of their racial inferiority, would in the long run have been unable to contend with the harsher climate and conditions of the country. They could not have kept down the more vigorous natives, so that ultimately not Arabs but Islamized Germans could have stood at the head of this Mohammedan Empire.'Hitler lamented "the misfortune" that Christianity had been the one obstacle to Islamic German supermen. Today, Germans are so much less Christians that Sharia may just now have that opening Hitler fantasized about.'Hitler usually concluded this historical speculation by remarking "You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"'
