Poll says 10 percent of Germans want a new 'Führer'

Germans reportedly want leader to "send foreigners home"; over 58% say "religious practice for Muslims in Germany should be seriously limited."

Ten percent of Germans want a “Führer,” and one quarter are strongly xenophobic, according to a poll released on Wednesday, reported German news source The Local.

The poll, entitled “The mainstream in the crisis – Right-wing extremist attitudes in Germany,” was conducted by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation for Political Education.

Those who wanted a “Führer,” said that he should "govern with a strong hand for the good of Germany," and believed that dictatorship is a the preferred form of government.

More than 30% agreed with the statement "foreigners come to abuse the welfare state," and even more (31.7%) said that when unemployment is high, the government should "send foreigners back home."

Over 58% said "religious practice for Muslims in Germany should be seriously limited."

Older and less-educated Germans were more likely to be intolerant, according to the poll.

Study authors Oliver Decker and Elmar Brähler called their findings "an alarm signal for politics and society," The Local reported. Decker and Brähler also said that right-wing extremism increased during the current financial crisis.

10% is pretty low.

But they drag that to the top of the story to equate any concern with their country to NAzi-ism.

I bet there’s more than 10% here who would favor a dictatorship too, so long as Obama was the dictator.

In fact, that number would probably be near the %21 “strongly support” figure he usually garners.

Look at the bright side: this percentage could have been trending downwards since WWII for all we know.

I don't say it will happen, but it is an interesting thought experiment to wonder what would happen if a nation in Europe started treating Muslims as sub-human. Round 'em up. Open the camps. Maybe start killing them off.

Would the other European countries be upset? Or would they follow suit? Would America get involved?

I'm thinking that the old "never again" motto from WWII would be ignored and that the Muslim population of Europe would shrink dramatically while the world watched.

A lot more than 10%!!!!!

Being as “Führer” means Leader in German, and all.

Stands to reason. Have they ever had such a long period of peace before? It’s been 65 years since their last war and I imagine they’re getting kind of itchy.

Stupid old people. Or should we say that they learned that the Jews didn't mean them harm but their allies the Muslims were really just using them?

This might be bad to say but there will be no tears here if someone starts to round up Muslims and killing them. They are after all the dogs of the holy lands.

Oh please - give the German bashing a rest. 78% of American (liberal) Jews voted for a islamic marxist.

Meanwhile - some very good conservative pundit/talk show host/web maven Jews are some of Geert Wilders biggest backers.

With the Muslims, flame me, but the Muslims have been doing nthing but causing nonstop trouble with everyone around them. As for the rest of the world, the celebs would get hysterical, but I don’t think the rest of the world would care. Muslims are the ones picking the fights and NOT contributing so society. The majority of them are not getting jobs, assimilating, or making life easier for anyone around them.

Define which practices these are.

Childbrides? Jihad? Honor killings? Slavery? Animal sacrifice?

Calls for Islamic theocratic rule over the territory?

“...one quarter are strongly xenophobic..”

Oh they do not want Muslims invading Germany? Who does.

This is left wing lib crap. If you are not fawning over Islam and signing up to be a dhimini - the press labels you as extreme right, racist, xenophobic, anti semetic, and on and on.
