ROCKY13: Germans view Islam as ‘intolerant'
The representative survey, which polled 1,000 people in each of the four countries mentioned, found that fewer than five percent of Germans thought Islam was a tolerant religion, compared to roughly 20 percent for the Danes, Dutch and French.
Women gathered at a mosque in CologneBildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Germans are critical of women's rights in Islam
While 50 percent of Danes and two-thirds of the French and Dutch respondents approved of the building of mosques, fewer than 30 percent of Germans said they did.
In Denmark, France and the Netherlands, a clear majority of respondents viewed Muslims positively.
In Germany, however, only 34 percent of those surveyed in the west of the country and 26 percent in eastern Germany had a positive view of Muslims.
When asked what they associated with Islam, more than 80 percent said discrimination of women, 60 percent said fanaticism, and only eight percent of West Germans and five percent of East Germans said that Islam was peaceful.
