A chronological review of the main stories about the rise of Islam in Germany in 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Islamization of Germany in 2016<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | January 2, 2017<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s Muslim population surpassed six million in 2016 for the first time ever. Germany now vies with France for the highest Muslim population in Western Europe.<\/p>\n

The increase in Germany\u2019s Muslim population is being fueled by mass migration. An estimated 300,000 migrants arrived in Germany in 2016, in addition to the more than one million who arrived in 2015. At least 80% (or 800,000 in 2015 and 240,000 in 2016) of the newcomers were Muslim, according to the Central Council of Muslims in Germany.<\/p>\n

In addition to the newcomers, the rate of population increase of the Muslim community already living in Germany is around 1.6% per year (or 77,000), according to data extrapolated<\/a> from a Pew Research Center study on the growth of the Muslim population in Europe.<\/p>\n

Based on Pew projections, which were proffered before the current migration crisis, the Muslim population of Germany was to have reached an estimated 5,145,000 by the end of 2015.<\/p>\n

Adding the 800,000 Muslim migrants who arrived in Germany in 2015, and the 240,000 who arrived in 2016, combined with the 77,000 natural increase, the Muslim population of Germany jumped by 1,117,000, to reach an estimated 6,262,000 by the end of 2016. This amounts to approximately 7.5% of Germany\u2019s overall population<\/a> of 82 million.<\/p>\n

Mass migration from the Muslim world is fast-tracking the Islamization of Germany, as evidenced by the proliferation of no-go zones<\/a>, Sharia courts<\/a>, polygamy<\/a> and child marriages<\/a>. Mass migration has also been responsible for a host of social disruptions, including jihadist attacks<\/a>, a migrant rape epidemic<\/a>, a public health crisis<\/a>, rising crime<\/a> and a rush by German citizens to purchase weapons<\/a> for self-defense \u2014 and even to abandon<\/a> Germany altogether.<\/p>\n

What follows is a chronological round-up of some of the key stories about the Islamization of Germany during 2016.<\/p>\n
