over 58% say "religious practice for Muslims in Germany should be seriously limited."

Define which practices these are.

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

Calls for Islamic theocratic rule over the territory?

I think it has more to do with the way muslims interweave sharia and religion.

There was a recent case in Switzerland, for example, where a man was acquitted of using physical force to compel his wife to have sex with him. He did use physical force, however. That's rape for a Swiss citizen.

His defense was that he was a studious and strict muslim. He said although he does respect Swiss law, his studies have convinced him that sharia is the best way of life for all people. The judge bought it.

Here's one of many sources (German). The acquited's name is Aziz Osmanoglu. The trial was in Basel.

Like the US, people here are tired of liberal judges. They want immigrants to follow the same laws they do. Frankly, they're pissed off.

That's just my opinion.
