The German government must have lots of extra cash lying around. They just spent thousands of dollars on research to determine if devout Muslims were more prone to violence than non-devout Muslims when they have learned the same thing by spending 25¢ on the morning newspaper and reading the headlines.
MonstersAndCritics.com has the obvious results of the poll:
The more devout a young Muslim male in Germany is, the more likely he is to resort to violence, according to a federally financed study seen Saturday by the German Press Agency dpa.
The study, based on interviews with 45,000 boys and girls aged 14 to 16, also concluded that male supremacist views and a preference for violent videos and computer games link closely with mosque attendance among the young. It compared Christians and Muslims.
Pardon us while we pause to catch our breath, because we never saw this coming. (PAUSE) OK, let’s go to the big conclusion now.
In a conclusion, the authors said the finding might be explained by hypotheses of Rauf Ceylan, an ethnic Turkish scholar in Germany who studies religion.
They said Ceylan had discovered that a majority of mosque clergy in Germany encouraged their congregations to practice a conservative form of Islam and to preserve their ethnic roots.
Devout Muslims are more violence prone than non-devout Muslims and Christians?
Who ever would have guessed?
