发帖数: 3433 | 1 A majority of Europeans would support a Trump-style ban on further migration
from mainly Muslim countries, according to a poll of more than 10,000
people in 10 countries.
An average of 55 percent of those surveyed for London-based think tank,
Chatham House, agreed that immigration from Muslim-majority countries should
be halted.
The poll released Tuesday comes after a bruising 18 months that have seen a
string of terrorist massacres linked to radical Islam as well as record-
setting levels of migration that have created social tensions across the
continent.

Majorities in all but two of the 10 countries polled supported a ban,
ranging from 71 percent in Poland, to 53 percent in Germany, 47 percent in
the United Kingdom and 41 percent in Spain. In no country did the percentage
that disagreed surpass 32 percent.
Chatham House called the findings "striking and sobering" and said in a news
release that the figures "suggest that public opposition to further
migration from predominantly Muslim states is by no means confined to Trump'
s electorate."
The poll, carried out before President Trump took office and implemented his
executive order on immigration, also found that the issue crossed the
political spectrum — three-quarters of respondents in support of a ban self
-classified as right-wing and more than a third said they were left-leaning. |
