Almost half of young Muslims in Germany hold Islamist attitudes, study finds
Jerusalem Post ^ | 12 April 2026 | MATHILDA HELLER

Almost one in two, or 45.1 percent, of Muslims in Germany under the age of 40 hold Islamist attitudes, according to Germany’s Radicalization Monitoring System and Transfer Platform. MOTRA is run by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA).

MOTRA researchers revealed last month that almost half of younger Muslims in Germany hold latent or manifest Islamist-leaning views, which means they feel drawn to Islamism, prefer Sharia law over the constitution, and hold antisemitic prejudices.

Breaking this down, the researchers found manifest Islamist attitudes – meaning their radicalization toward Islamism is already evident and pronounced – to be most widespread among Muslims under 40, at 11.5%.

MOTRA found 33.6% to have latent Islamist views, where the inclination toward Islamism exists, but the radicalization is not yet openly visible. These combine to make 45.1%.

On Friday, German Parliamentary State Secretary Christoph de Vries (CDU) told Die Zeit newspaper that his party is “very concerned about this.” De Vries also cited a separate worrying figure: Antisemitism is four times as widespread among young Muslims as in the population as a whole.

Asked what had driven the rise in Islamist views, de Vries said that Islamist influencers, present in social networks and gaming platforms, have caused a surge in such views. He also said the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel’s Gaza border communities on October 7, 2023, was a “driver for Islamism as a whole.”

De Vries suggested that a social media ban for young people may be the way forward, given Germany has been seeing “13- and 14-year-old boys and girls become radicalized on social media to the point where they wanted to commit serious attacks.”

He also said there was a need to look more closely at what happens in mosques, especially those controlled by foreign governments.

It's not social media. It's Islam.

Western Europe seems to have a higher percentage of jihadists than most Muslim nations do.

That’s because Western Muslims are largely insulated from end-stage Islam. Muslims in Muslim countries know it’s terrible.

Nice to see the JP is doing their own investigation and not just reprinting everything the NYT prints.
When I was there in ‘98 it was just NYT-WP rewording for the JP.

I think they actually have reporters.

Still on the leftist side of Israeli politics, though. Have to weed through a lot of treif to get to get to real news.

This poll like most polls is pure garbage.

Muzzies NEVER assimilate, they seek to dominate.

It’s only a matter of time in Germany:

Birthrate for Muslim women in Germany: 2.4 to 2.7 children per woman.

Birthrate for native Germans: 1.4 to 1.5 children per woman.

What was it Pat Buchanan said about demographics and destiny?

Looks like Germany injected itself with a good dose of Islamist cancer and is now in the process of watching it metastasize.

Merkel intentionally destroyed Germany for her NWO globalists masters.

The West is being pulled up by its roots:

France: as Macron is doing today
UK: as Starmer is doing today
Canada: as Carney is doing today
Spain as Sanchez is doing today
America: just as that dementia carcass was installed to do in America and only for the moment has been halted.

All being done to bring in their CBDC and Digital ID surveillance state for anti-Christ to rise up to full power riding on the back of its WEF ‘Beast System’.

We haven’t learned anything from history. When the jews in New York are voting for a muslim mayor it’s all over.

England, Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, give em 15 years and they will be all bowing to izzzlam. They are almost out voted by being out populated by the radical barbarians from the middle east. The EU has like a 1.5 child rate while the muzzies have 10. Won’t take long.

It isn’t just Muslim immigrants in Germany or expatriate Muslims in the West. Islam seems to almost inevitably evolve (or rather degenerate) into Islamism. For example, Malaysia was long known for having a “relaxed” version of Islam that mostly didn’t interfere with people’s personal lives. Now Malaysia has laws threatening fines for missing worship services, and draconian laws against apostasy (leaving Islam) or heresy (criticizing or rejecting the most outlandish teachings of Islam). I wouldn’t be surprised to see Indonesia go the same route as well.

…100%. They lie, cheat and steal while pretending to assimilate.
