Sharia 101
21st May 2024
There are so many Muslim culture-enrichers in Germany now that a leading pedagogue wants to institute formal Islamic education in the public schools.
The big question is who will do the teaching. Will it be native German pedagogues who have undergone training in the intricacies of sharia? Or will it be imams “with a migration background”? If the latter — which I assume will most likely be the case — the problem will be finding any that are not under the control of Ditib (Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs [Turkish: Diyanet ??leri Ba?kanl???; German: Türkisch-Islamische Union der Anstalt für Religion]) or Iran (I don’t know the name of the Iranian religious authority in Germany, but I’m sure there must be one).
Chances are, when the new curriculum has been put together and the teachers assigned, everything will be under Turkish control, but everyone involved will pretend that’s not the case.
