Default Study: Six percent of Muslims in Germany support violence

Quote:
Berlin, Germany (AHN) - A new study released Thursday by Germany's Interior Ministry said there is a growing threat arising from the radicalization of Muslims living in the country. Six percent of Muslims in Germany support violence, according to the report's authors.

The report, carried out by the University of Hamburg's Institute of Criminology, concluded 40 percent of Muslims living in Germany favor the use of violence if Islam is threatened by western nations. This tendency toward violent means to protect Islam stems from a belief among 44 percent of polled Muslims that dying while defending their faith is a ticket to paradise.
Also:

Only 80 percent of the 1,750 Muslims interviewed thumbed down the idea of suicide bombings.

Only 8.7 percent defined the act as cowardly and damaging for their religion.

This isn't about who likes democracy or not, I couldn't care less what someone's political position is. Red herring.

Are you telling me that 80 percent of Germans disapprove of suicide bombings? And that 40 percent favor the use of violence if their religion is threatened?

44% of Germans believe dying while defending their faith is a ticket to paradise?

Link please.

Learn German and read the whole survey, and don't only talk about the parts of it you like.

Here's the link:

It's the website/survey of the ministry of the interior.

That straw man doesn't even look anything like MRiGnS' statement! You'll have to try harder than that.

Lol! 99% of them will use violence if you so much as dare to move the beach towel that they placed buy the swimming pool the night before to guard their space.

Oh, by the way. When it comes to grading the level of violence people will use to defend their rights, religions, countries, etc depends a lot on who their leaders are and the current cultual climate.

I seem to remember our friendly non-violent Germans being lead by a poisoned dwarf with a pencil moustache back in the 30's.

That nation gassed and shot over 12 million people based on their colour, religion, other differences.

Believe me, suicide bombers are nowhere near being a conteneder to the extreme violence usage throne when you add a nation like Germany into the equation. Check out the amount of Nazi skinheads who get jailed in germany every year for violence and murder.

So, I would go for about 80% of ANY nation favour violence to protect anything which is theirs. The other 20% are pussies and need to stop telling lies.

He said it was the same percentage. He already had the numbers from the article. A straw man is when I claim he made an argument different from the one he did. I asked him to clarify. He didn't. All he could say is learn German.
