Germans See Islam as Threat

Reflecting a distorted image of Islam in the media, a new study has found that half of Germans see Islam as a threat to their country and does not fit into the Western world.

"The picture the media give of Buddhism or Hinduism is that of peace-loving religions," Detlef Pollack, a sociologist who co-authored the study, told Deutsche Welle.

"Their picture of Islam is more about fanaticism and aggression."

Titled “Religion Monitor” by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the study found that half of Germans see Islam as a threat to their country.

The study looked into the views on the social significance of religion and values in 13 European countries.

It found that a majority of 51 percent of Germans see Islam as a threat to their country.

This opinion was shared in many western states.

This applies to 60 percent of Spaniards, 50 percent of the Swiss and 42 percent of US citizens.

In contrast, in India, only 30 percent see Islam as a threat, while in South Korea it was only 16 percent.

In other western European countries, such as France, Britain, and the Netherlands, surveyed people saw Islam in a more positive light than does Germany.

These results, Pollack said, were related to the educational level of Muslims in each country.

“In Germany we have very few highly educated people among immigrants,” he said.

“That influences people's attitudes, especially towards the Muslim immigrants.”
