Islam Now Major European Religion
Chairman of the SVR said, "Germany has become demographically a multi-religious country," due primarily to the mass migration of Muslims from North Africa and the Middle East, Die Welt reported.
According to figures from the paper around 73 percent of the new migrants who have gone to Germany since the beginning of the migrant crisis have been Muslims and only 13 percent were Christians. The decline in practicing Christians has also had a large impact in the rise of Islam in Germany.
In 1970 almost 95 percent of West Germans said they were either Roman Catholic or Protestant. As of now the figure is somewhere around 65 percent.
Immigration from the Balkans and Russia has also diversified the number of Christian denominations in Germany with far more Orthodox Christians and others living in Germany as opposed to the 1970's.
The Alternatrive for Germany (AfD) has rallied against what it sees as the "Islamisation" of Germany, proposing to ban minarets and the public calls to prayer from German streets. Hungarian Prime Minster Viktor Orban has also spoken out against "Islamisation" saying that the Hungarian constitution simply would not allow it.
