After a recent discussion here I followed up the empirical data that are published in “Fundamentalismus und Fremdenfeindlichkeit Muslime und Christen im europäischen Vergleich“.

 Almost half of European Muslims agree that there is only one interpretation of the Koran, that Muslims should return to the roots of Islam, and that religious rules are more important than secular laws. Based on these items, a WZB study shows that religious fundamentalism is much more common among Muslims than among Christians. This is alarming in the light of the strong link between religious fundamentalism and outgroup hostility.
