A recent German survey shows that a majority of the population has strong reservations about continued Muslim immigration.
The survey shows that more than half of Germans, 52%, believe that Germany should generally stop accepting refugees or migrants from Muslim countries.
The latest Insa survey, commissioned by Nius Media Group, shows that more than half of Germans believe that Germany should in principle introduce zero tolerance for immigration from Muslim countries. Only 34% disagree or have some doubts about this statement.
An even higher proportion of Germans, 57%, express a feeling of alienation in many places in Germany. The fear of becoming a minority in one’s own country seems to be palpable among the population, with 54% expressing concern in this regard.
The results point to deep-seated concerns about demographic change and its long-term consequences for German society.

School system under pressure
Increased immigration from Muslim countries has also sparked a debate about whether integration has worked well. A majority of 58% believe that the integration of migrants in Germany has not worked well, while only 29% believe that migrants have integrated well.
The school system has not escaped the effects of increased immigration. Three-quarters of Germans, some 75%, believe that the current flow of migrants has overburdened the German school system, while 22% say they do not see any overburdening.
This is reflected, for example, in reports of overcrowded classrooms, language difficulties and increased tensions between different groups of students, not least increased racism against the ethnic German population.
