March 6, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Britain's Daily Mail, Jan. 29, 2007, reported in the article "Multiculturalism drives young Muslims to shun British values":
Multiculturalism has alienated an entire generation of young Muslims
and made them increasingly radical, a report has found. In stark
contrast with their parents, growing numbers sympathize with extreme
teachings of Islam, with almost four in 10 wanting to live under Sharia
law in Britain. The study identifies significant support for wearing
the veil in public … and even punishment by death for Muslims who
convert to another religion. Most alarmingly, 13 percent of young
Muslims said they "admired" organizations such as al-Qaida which are
prepared to "fight the West."
Germany's Spiegel, Dec. 20, 2007, reported in the article "Interior Ministry warns of radicalization of Muslims":
A new study released by Germany's Interior Ministry has added new fuel
to the debate about integration of Muslims in Germany, with the report
warning about the danger of radicalization of Muslims. According to the
study ... 40 percent of Muslims surveyed had a "fundamentalist
orientation" ... 6 percent of those surveyed were classified as having
"violent tendencies," while 14 percent of respondents had
"anti-democratic" tendencies. ... The report also concluded that
religious beliefs are becoming increasingly important for young people.
Europe is wondering why fundamental Islam is not assimilating, - history may reveal the reason.
