German police study finds 45 percent of Muslims aged under 40 hold Islamist views.

Europeans were assured that mass migration required only patience, a few diversity workshops, and perhaps a taxpayer-funded hummus festival in order to be successful.

They were lied to.

A newly released study by Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has delivered what officials are politely calling an “explosive” finding:

Nearly half of Muslims under the age of 40 in Germany hold Islamist views.

Not a small fringe. Not a handful of radicals in the shadows. Half.

According to the 598-page Motra Monitor report, 45.1 per cent of Muslims under 40 hold either “latent or manifestly Islamist attitudes.”

In plain English, that means many express sympathy for Islamist ideology, prefer Sharia law over Germany’s constitution, and harbour anti-Semitic prejudices.

Repeat after me… “diversity is our strength”.

The report breaks the number down further.

About 11.5 per cent hold openly “manifest” Islamist views, meaning their radicalism is already obvious and pronounced.

Another 33.6 per cent fall into the category of “latent” Islamist attitudes — which is a polite way of saying the ideas are there, they just haven’t fully ripened yet.

Alarm Bells

Even some German politicians appear to have noticed the problem.

Wolfgang Kubicki of the Free Democrats looked at the numbers and suggested they should “set off all the alarm bells,” describing the situation as a “societal time bomb”.

He added that Germany must stop “naively looking away,” a refreshing statement given that naively looking away has been government policy for roughly 20 years.

Kubicki went further, pointing out the rather obvious truth that anyone demanding a caliphate is an enemy of democracy, and suggesting that non-citizens advocating such ideas should be deported.

Which, if you think about it, is a fairly modest proposal: if you openly oppose the constitutional order of the country hosting you, perhaps you shouldn’t live there.

Radical stuff.

The study’s authors say the most worrying demographic is precisely the one Europe was assured would be the most integrated: young Muslims under 40.

Islamism researcher Prof. Susanne Schröter said these attitudes typically involved believing Islamist interpretations of Islam were correct, supporting groups aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood, preferring Sharia to Germany’s Basic Law, and — somewhat predictably — holding anti-Jewish views.

Researchers also noted a spike in radicalisation following the October 7 Hamas attacks in 2023, which triggered demonstrations across Europe where young Muslims and far-left activists united in the timeless political tradition of shouting about Israel and occasionally smashing things.

Et Tu, France

Germany, it turns out, is not alone.

A separate study in France by the respected polling service Ifop found 44 per cent of Muslims say the rules of Islam are more important than French law.

Among those aged 15–24, the number climbs to 57 per cent.

Even more striking, 38 per cent of French Muslims express support for Islamist positions, double the level recorded in 1998.

Meanwhile, the proportion of Muslims who believe Islam should modernise has fallen dramatically.

Which means the one group European elites expected to adapt to secular Western culture appears, inconveniently, to be moving in the opposite direction.

At the same time, Christianity in France — once the cultural backbone of the country — continues its rapid collapse.

So to summarise Europe’s grand social experiment:

Christianity is being diluted and disappearing. Islam is being radicalised and growing. The political class insist everything is fine.

Say it again in a loud voice… diversity is our strength.
