The “Tiny Minority” may not be that tiny after all. As a matter of fact, it’s significantly larger than previous estimates.
A new study commissioned by Germany’s Interior Ministry warns of a growing threat from the radicalization of Muslims in the country. Six percent of Muslims in Germany support violence in the name of Islam, the authors write…
In concluding that 6 percent of Muslims in Germany have violent tendencies, the study appears to contradict to some extent the findings of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which monitors Islamist activity in the country. According to its 2006 report, there are currently around 32,000 Islamists in Germany who pose a potential security threat. That figure represents slightly more than 1 percent of the around 3 million Muslims who live in the country.
So, as Sugiero writes, that “32,000″ is actually about “180,000″. Not so tiny a minority, is it? (Via Hot Air)
