It was a ‘designed-poll’ when you look at the way it was structured to go with a message.
If you’d taken out Muslim and inserted American....asking most Germans if they have an American friend....the vast majority (more than 70-percent) will say no. If you then ask about problems with America (Bush, Iraq War, Obama, Trump, etc), then most Germans utter negativity about Americans.
Same topic if you inserted ‘Russians’ or ‘Brits’ into the same poll, and same outcome.
Near the end of the German story, if you read the whole ‘bit’...they then get to two interesting slants on the story.
1. Most Muslims live in western German states (98-percent) and that explains why western states of Germany are multi-culty, and why old DDR states are not multi-culty.
2. The more educated you are in Germany....the more likely that you have Muslim friends, so education and intellectualism, help you focus on multi-culty....thus having a positive outlook on Islam.
It’s the type of research paper and poll that I’d expect from the Kremlin, but I realize that Germans news media sources are working hard for some agenda deal to work. Sadly, it’s a waste of effort.
Therefore, what?
