German children are converting to Islam “out of fear”

The number of Muslim students in German schools has started to grow because children do not want to remain outsiders, Bild reported citing an anonymous source in the German state security service.

The anonymous source told the German media:

“More and more parents of German children are turning to counselling centres because their Christian children want to convert to Islam so as not to be outsiders at school.”

The trend is explained by a sharp increase in the number of Muslim children in schools due to migration from Middle Eastern countries. In some big cities, children from Christian families even appear to be in the minority in classrooms. For example, there are schools in Berlin, Frankfurt and Essen where the proportion of Muslim pupils has exceeded 80 per cent.

Bild writes that Muslim children, who come from strictly religious families, censure schoolgirls for too “Western” behaviour and create whole parallel communities that do not always follow school rules, but teachers do not have time to react to all such situations because of the heavy workload.

In addition, young people in Germany are becoming increasingly interested in far-right ideology. In April, students from six East German states issued a statement in which they expressed concern about the growth of far-right sentiments in schools.
