The development comes as a new opinion poll finds that large pluralities of respondents in both France (47 percent) and Germany (43 percent) view Islam as a threat – an increase of five and three percent respectively since 2010.
The survey (in French), conducted by the IFOP polling company for the French daily Le Figaro, also found that 63 percent of respondents in France and 48 percent in Germany regard Islam as too visible and too influential in their societies.
Fifty-two percent of French and 49 percent of Germans respondents said they opposed the building of mosques, and opposition to the wearing of headscarves in public schools was measured at 88 percent in France and 75 percent in Germany.
(Headscarves and other religious garb have been banned in French public schools and government offices since 2004.)
Another finding in the poll: 67 percent of French and 60 percent of German respondents blamed a perceived failure by Muslims to integrate into society on a refusal to adapt to local customs and values.
France and Germany have the largest Muslim populations in the European Union – 4.8 million in Germany comprising 5.8 percent of the total population, and 4.7 million in France, or 7.5 percent of the population, according to the Pew Research Center.
Fire away!
Not really under fire until repatriation to the middle east starts.
Until then it’s all talk and no action.
Good, especially when you consider that France and Germany already have millions of bearded and burkad savages on their soil, and they would not have voted this way.
I hope the people have really had it with the savages and vote in someone who will kick them out and secure the borders.
All of Europe Under Fire From Islam.
Won’t matter because the elites in the political class, media, and police forces, think otherwise.
It is true, the best left Europe and there are only the sad descendants of a55holes and victims left.
There is only 2 choices for Europe, fight and win or submit to muslim dhimmi slavery and/or die.
Nobody beats the Captain!!
I’m saddened that the numbers are not higher.
me too, but it is a start
George Soros admitted to influencing this invasion of Europe. I don’t have that link handy at the moment.
Merkel must be insane. They’ll eventually come for her, I think.
in France, 7.5 percent of the population,
NOT GOOD
Anyone who moves to another country and does not learn the language and who does not want to assimilate into the host country’s culture, should just go back to where they came from.
Islam ‘under fire’????
Cry me a river.
War profiteers. Same old, same old...
It think a lot of it is a matter of out of sight-out of mind. Many parts of Germany and France that are away from the major cities probably don’t see many Muslims. Of course the liberals also add to the still high number of people who haven’t gotten the message.
The problem us Kafirs have in dealing with Islam is we have tied ourselves up legally in knots by treating everyone as fairly as we can.
Islam is a different militant religion and will take advantage of our naiveness.
It will take a long time for Kafirs to get legislation and public support for ousting Muslims.
The legislators will be slowed by the "Who's next" arguments-and a host of other obstructions.
Right now , keeping Muslims from coming in to an infidel country is the best approach, but even that obviously prudent solution is meeting resistance.
We have to educate the public about what the fundamentals of Islam are : to subjugate convert or kill us Kafirs.
Muslims are not coming in to adapt to our decadent Kafir lifestyles. -Tom
Great news. I’d like to see them reduced to living in the deserted desert.
