Hanover - Politicians of various
stripes have reacted with horror to a study that suggests students in
Lower Saxony place the Koran above German laws. In the survey by the
Criminological Research Institute of Lower Saxony (KFN), 67.8 percent of
those surveyed agreed with the statement: “The rules of the Koran are
more important to me than the laws in Germany.” In addition, almost half
(45.8 percent) said they were Islamic theocracy is the best form of
government.
The institute surveyed around 8,500 ninth grade
students in Lower Saxony, including around 300 Muslims. According to
this, one in five Muslim students has an Islamist attitude. 18.1 percent
considered violence to enforce and spread Islam to be justified.
However, the authors noted that the evaluation could not be considered
representative.
CDU man de Vries: “Multiculturalism has long since failed”
The CDU member of the Bundestag Christoph de Vries warned the Bild newspaper
against “systematic indoctrination” of the students. “The study shows
how deep the traces that political Islam has already left in Germany
are.” Children would not be born with such attitudes. “Multiculturalism
has long since failed. “Clarity and consistency are now needed if the
advance of the intolerant is to be stopped,” demanded the interior
expert.
Schleswig-Holstein’s School Minister Karin Prien (CDU)
described the results as “shocking”. She told the paper: “It is
obviously not possible to convey democratic values, which threatens to
undermine social cohesion. Families, schools, the state centers for
political education, but not least the youth work of the mosque
communities are responsible.” Politicians must also take a critical look
at social networks such as TikTok.
Hamburg's school senator
Ksenija Bekeris (SPD) reacted in the same way. The evaluation is
“alarming”. What is now needed is “a significant strengthening of
democracy education in schools”. However, such a survey is currently not
available for the Hanseatic city or other federal states.
Islamism in the classroom
It
was only announced in January that a group of Islamist-oriented young
people had formed at a school in Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. This
“Sharia police” apparently repeatedly pressured their teachers and
classmates to submit to Islamic law in everyday life. They are also said
to have called for the introduction of Sharia law in class. A month
later, the Cologne police made similar cases public.
A student from Essen told Junge Freiheit
about her experiences with radical Islamic classmates. She was beaten
and asked not to eat during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Out of
self-protection, the 17-year-old followed her tormentors' instructions.
