In its report on Sunday, Bild, citing a study

by the Lower Saxony Criminology

Research Institute, reported that 67.8% of
schoolchildren polled said that the “rules
of the Quran are more important to me
than the laws in Germany”; 45.8% said
that Islamic theocratic rule is the best
form of state government, with over half
contending that it is only their religion that
has answers to the “problems of our
times.”

According to the study’s findings, 35.3%

suggested that insults directed at Islam
and its prophet are reason enough for a
violent attack. More than a fifth of
respondents argued that the “threat to
Islam posed by the Western world”
justifies a violent response on the part of
Muslims.

The researchers surveyed a total of 8,539

people in Lower Saxony, including 300
Muslims. Bild pointed out that the findings
thus cannot be extrapolated to the whole
of Germany.

Nevertheless, Christoph de Vries from

Hamburg, who represents the opposition
Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in the
German parliament, told the media outlet
that the “study shows how deep the
traces are that the political Islam has
already left behind in Germany.” The
lawmaker attributed the troubling trend to
“systematic indoctrination,” adding that
“multiculti has long since failed.”

The secretary of education from the

neighboring Schleswig-Holstein region,
Karin Prien, also from the CDU party,
warned that unless “democratic values”
are better instilled into students, “social
cohesion risks going into a skid.”
