Will it matter at all however ? Unless the German people hit the streets with massive protests instead of just answering a poll, nothing will change.
Merkel's Folly: Most Germans Want Islam Out
Chancellor Angela Merkel's public calls for tolerance and inclusivity are increasingly falling on deaf ears, a new survey into Germany's attitudes towards Islam shows.
A new poll shows almost two-thirds of Germans think Islam does not "belong" in their country. In a marked increase from a similar survey conducted six years ago in which a minority of Germans (47 per cent) thought Islam had no place in their nation, the latest poll shows the figure is now at 60 per cent.
That survey was provoked by then-President Christian Wulff's assertion that Islam was a part of the German nation, which sparked a furious backlash from social commentators.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has repeated Mr Wulff's line on several occasions, but she has been undermined by her own interior minister', who publically stated that Islam "does not belong" in Germany.
They're right, of course. Islam does not belong in Germany, or anywhere in the Christian West. Since Charles Martel, Christians have had to fend off invasions by these people, at Tours, Lepanto, the gates of Vienna and elsewhere. Unluckier civilizations, such as the Persians, have fallen victim to the Arabs, the Turks and their savage god, with what results we can see across the globe. Modern, post-Christian European politicians may think religion no longer matters -- because it no longer matters to them -- but our Islamic enemies know better.
