One in five Muslims with a “migrant background” in Germany, or over a million people, are currently susceptible to becoming radical Islamists, a study has found.
Research from the Islam and Politics Research Centre at the University of Münster, conducted under theologian Mouhanad Khorchide, has warned that more than a million Muslims may have an emotional state ripe to become Islamic extremists, Die Welt reports.
Between July of 2023 and April of 2024, the study surveyed a representative group of 1,887 Muslims with a migrant background, those who have either immigrated to Germany themselves, or who have at least one foreign-born parent. The poll found that 19.9 per cent of respondents were in a mental state of “resentment” that could lead towards radicalisation.
With up to 5.6 million Muslims living in Germany, the number of potential radicals would be over a million if the survey were to be replicated throughout the population, they claimed.
The researchers determined whether respondents fell into the “resentment” category if they demonstrated strong anti-Western or antisemitic sentiments, while refusing to reckon with critiques of their own worldview.
A majority of those classed as having a “resentment” mind frame agreed with the statement that Islam “is the only and ultimate political authority” and that Islamic laws of Sharia “are much better than the German laws”.
One third of the group, equating to an estimated 300,000 people, would support violent means in response to supposed injustices faced by Muslims. One in ten, equating around 100,000 people, also said that violence would be justified merely to promote “the interests of Muslims.”
