Are there more and more Muslims migrating to Germany? How do the Germans gerenally think of these Muslims?

Question

I am from Melbourne, Australia. I am interested in anything about Germany.

Answer 1

I agree with most of the answers.

Unfortunately mostly the females are forced not to learn the language properly. They're sometimes not even allowed to go shopping or else when alone. They always need to have someone going with them, such as a brother.

And many women had been killed by their own family because they didn't want to marry a certain man their family wanted them to get married to. And they use to call this disgrace and as they didn't want "to lose their face" they simply killed her. This happened too often and sometimes in the middle of a street or pavement. Not too long ago a woman wanted to leave by plane and while she was waiting at the check-in her insane husband came along and killed her at the airport.

Answer 2

MOST on average will not care or have a problem with you. Only the few minority are bigots and racists and are also hated by the local Germans as well.

You have more chance of finding Racism and Religious problems in the USA or UK than in Germany. They have been a very tolerant Nation as a whole for a long time now.

I do not get why Mel bothers to answer here if she does not have anything nice to say about Germany and thinks they are all racist. Just because you have a few bad experiences in life does not make every one there that way.  My friend had a small run in once with a skin head in the late hours while I was in Switzerland with my GF at that time. He was with my friends in Weimar and they protected him and stood up for my friend to this knuckle head. So every one has a few bad seeds but Germany is far from even being as close to as bad as it would be here in the USA.

I have also been to Australia too and the people there were very open and friendly to me as well much like in Germany. Really odd thing one of my Australian friends is actually German and moved there years ago. You are doing the opposite.

Believe in yourself. Learn the language as best as you can of course and be friendly and you will have little or no problems at all. No more or less than you already probably deal with if anything probably less, but to be fair i cannot compare Australia to Germany in this aspect.

Anyways, my friend is in Melbourne too and loves it. He would tell you that you would be safe and fine there as well.

DO not listen to any racist bs that may scare or make you nervous. Live your life as you always have, when you are there just learn the language and their customs and you will blend in   no time. Their are plenty of German Muslims, Jews, Christians and even Atheists. Religious beliefs are diverse in Germany and are far more tolerant than much of the USA as I said. So as they would say..VIEL SPASS!! Have Fun!

Answer 3

I agree with Blue, I have a lot of muslim friends and they are well educated, speak very good german (also English), and accept German laws, they are totally open and I often got invited by them...but the other problem is that some families don't want to be integrated into Germany, they come to Germany but refuse to speak the language, to find work and hate Germans! It also happend that a muslim girl who had a german boyfriend was killed by her family just because of her german boyfriend! This we don't like, because if you move to another country, you should like it, accept the laws and the culture, speak the languages and have a job!

I moved from Germany to the States and so I changed I speak English, hang out with my american friends, ...

You are from Melbourne? Is it beautiful, I really have to go there one time! Why are you interested in Germany, if you have anymore question ask me, let's see if I can help you

Answer 4

Yes there are many Turks and other Muslims living here in Germany and most of them are well integrated..we have some Turkish neighbours and there are no problems! But there are a few who won't accept German laws and some Muslim teachers want to wear an Islamic Dress at school...even in Turkey it's not allowed for teachers or students! So in Germany we think as long as Muslims accept German laws and try to learn our language and are willing to integrate they are welcome!

Answer 5

a lot of muslims migrating to germany.A lot people think that´s to much.The problem with the most young muslims are that they don´t integrate into the german culture.the crime is higher by the migrantes.In my street lives some old muslims.I have no problems with them.They`re friendly accept my culture and i do the same.A few streets further more young muslim peoples live.The most time the police must drive there.

Answer 6

My German friends do not like it. They want to keep their culture pure Germanic. They do not want to include Weird thinking, Prayer Rugs and Burkas in their Germanic culture. She says that it is a big time clash of cultures.

Answer 7

my sister is german and she shouts vulgar satanic slang at me.

Answer 8

I have a friend in the school she is a Muslim she is very nice girl.

Answer 9

I am a German and I lived and worked in Berlin for seven years, and I had friends from many a country. Religion wasn't our topic until 9/11. Matteroffactly, before it became such a media hype, we didn't even talk about it, and all the "Muslim" friends I have are, well, little concerned about their religion. I'm a baptised Catholic, but I quit church, so you might call me an atheist, or something like that.

The hatred that's being spread against Muslims is mostly produced by the tabloid papers. It's not hatred within the population. There is some racism in Germany, and they're partly violent. I can't deny that. But isn't there racism in any country in this world? I think Germany is quite on average, as far as this is concerned.

Answer 10

I have lived in Germany for 14 years, and Muslims, sadly, are not regarded positively.  They are discriminated against in the school system, and they have a hard time getting an apprenticeship when finishing school.  The most successful Muslims that I know are those that have their own businesses.

They are not regarded positively because of generalizations that may or may not be true of all:

-  They don't want to integrate.

-  They don't want to learn the language.  (I really don't think this is true of the younger generation.)

-  They aren't interested in getting an education.  (Also not true....all children have dreams but I believe that the teachers are biased towards foreign children.  Fact:  69% of all children with foreign backgrounds are pushed into the 'Hauptschule'....the lowest school in Germany.

-  They don't have respect for the customs and laws in Germany.

Many Germans won't publicly admit their bias....but I've really sat down and talked to them, (3 teachers, in fact...very good people), and was SHOCKED at the prejudice that eventually

came from their mouths.

While we still have some problems here, Americans...even African Americans like me, are regarded in a more positive way than the Muslims.

Answer 11

I agree to Wulf.

Melodram is right, if she only met the wrong people. There are some idiots, just like in every country, but not too much here.

As a matter of fact, all the printing the n***s get is issued in the US, because there are no laws against it, contrary to here. Also the KKK was trying to establish here with US support. No success so far.

I'm living in Germany (native) and I am well aware of the few idiots (racists) we have here. But, the majority of the people are tolerant, even more serious than in the US. This might have it's roots in our real bad recent history before 1945.

And, coming to your question: There are not more migrants to Germany as the immigration laws are still very strict. If one plans to seek asylum in Germany, he needs a parachute.

When ever someone is met in Germany and asks for asylum, he will be transportet to the country he entered first. Germany is in the middle. No border to outer Europe - see?

Answer 12

I was raised to respect my host.  

Whoever you are, when you're a guest in somebody else's home (or country for that matter) you respect their ways and leave your own bad behaviours at home.  

As long as my "guests" are positive, contributing "members of society" we'll ALL happily share the best of our respective cultures and enjoy learning from one another.

Unfortunately some people forget their manners.  THAT is when one would prefer them to leave and return to their own homes.
