A new survey by London think tank Chatham House reveals that the majority of Europeans oppose Muslim immigration, Germans included. There is no country polled in which support for Muslim immigration surpasses opposition.
Before Trump issued his executive order, Chatham House had asked 10,000 people from 10 European countries to evaluate the following statement: "All further immigration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped." An overall average of 55 percent of respondents agreed with the statement.
53 percent of Germans would support a similar ban in their country, the Chatham poll showed.
The survey was carried out in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Great Britain, Hungary and Poland. Some countries, like France, Belgium and Great Britain, have relatively large Muslim minorities, while others, like Poland or Hungary, have practically none.

Chatham House in England is very fair, and known for their unbiased ability at poll taking.
What do you make of this study? I think its great news for hopefully regaining common some sense in regards to the immigration policies of Europe and the United States.
