Polls say most Europeans want to ban Muslims from immigrating
When Americans demonstrated against President Trump’s recent entry ban on immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries, marchers in London, Paris, Berlin, and other European cities quickly joined in the protest. The message from across the Atlantic seemed to be “we’re with you.”
The televised reports of the protests told only half the story, however. In fact, even less than half.
According to two extensive opinion polls completed recently, majorities across Europe are deeply concerned about Muslim immigration and support an immediate end to it, even as Europeans vastly overestimate the actual Muslim populations of their countries.
