A study by the University of Münster reveals that the 20% of Muslims living in Germany feel seriously rejected or belittled. for society. This data, collected between July 2023 and April 2024 from a sample of nearly 1,900 adults with migrant backgrounds, was published on 11 June by the outlet. Evangelical.de.
Distorted perception of reality
According to the study, many people They interpret reality in a distorted way.. Positive experiences go unnoticed. On the other hand, Negative moments become very prominent and end up dominating the perception of day-to-day life..
This emotional imbalance Fuels a constant grievance, a kind of social pain that remains alive. And this unease It ultimately ends up being projected onto the majority society., to whom global responsibility for suffering is attributed. This breaks down bridges of trust and makes any genuine process of integration difficult.
The Islamists' objective: the resentful
According to Mouhanad Khorchide, director of the Centre for Islamic Theology in Münster, the Islamists are actively seeking emotionally wounded people.. Don't aim at just anyone, but at those who They already feel that they have no place in society.. Extremist messages do not fall on barren ground: Drag who drags resentment.
These groups They exploit the feeling of rejection. and they turn it into hostility towards the host country. They present Germany as a place that will never accept Muslims.. They thus fuel disconnection and emotional radicalisation. The study insists that Not all resentment leads to extremism., and that you cannot treat every Muslim with suspicion. But The danger is there.Resentful people are more vulnerable to Islamist discourses that promise justice, community and vengeance.
They believe that the solution is more Islam.
The authors of the study make it clear that The answer cannot be just a police one.. They say that we need to act on emotions, identity and a sense of belonging. According to them, The best way to prevent radicalisation is to strengthen the emotional connection of Muslims with German society..
That is why they propose more institutional Islam: expand the teaching of Islamic religion in public schools, fund positive content on social media and promote a moderate Islam from mosques. They also demand that the stories of integrated Muslims be highlighted., to counter the narrative of contempt. The aim is to create new points of reference and to dispel the feeling that living in Germany means living as a rejected person.
Their conclusion is clear: If a sense of belonging isn't built, someone else will fill the void. And this someone could be radical Islamism.
