Study: German schools need more Islamic religion classes
Deutsche Welle ^ | 04.30.2018 | Ben Knight

Not enough German high school students receive Islam religion lessons, according to a new study by the media info service Mediendienst Integration.

Around 54,000 students at 800 schools across the country currently receive Islam religion lessons, a significant increase on the 42,000 who attended such lessons two years ago, according to official statistics from Germany’s 16 state education ministries.

But this is still much less than the 580,000 students who would potentially be interested in such lessons, a number that came out of a 2008 report entitled “Muslim Life in Germany” carried out by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). Given that this survey was carried out before the recent refugee influx into Germany, that figure is likely to be even higher now.

Though exact figures are not known, Rauf Ceylan, professor for contemporary Islamic studies at the University of Osnabrück, believes the number of Muslim children aged six to 18 at German schools is around 750,000 to 800,000.

That survey also found that an additional 70,000 students would be interested in Alevi Islam lessons — currently only 800 students attend such classes in the whole of Germany, Mediendienst Integration found, after collecting data from the state education ministries. “That’s pretty ridiculous,” is Ceylan’s clipped judgment. […]

“It’s clear that there’s demand for more Islam religious lessons,” said Ceylan, but he cautioned that it wasn’t exactly clear how much. “The question is: what is the potential? You’d have to know what the parents want — what about the secular Muslims?” …

Funny how they’re still basing things on a ten-year-old “study”.

Wrong move!

Whatever concessions to Islam you make it only leads to more demands, not fewer.

Islam must be flatly opposed and not negotiated with. That is the only rational way to deal with a belief system that is just a thinly disguised plan for endless conquests.

plan for 10x as many? Why teach religion in state schools at all? Unless it’s the Christianity that goes hand-in-hand with Western Culture?

I wonder how many receive Christian religion lessons? None, say? A bit unfair.

You would have thought that the 500th anniversary of Luther and the Reformation would have been a landmark year throughout Germany. Beyond the theological implications which some still debate, its impact upon the West opened up society to modern learning, commerce, and science. It is the dividing line between the old and the new.

In Germany the anniversary was hardly a blip. Nada.

Study: German schools need more Islamic religion classes

Why? Somehow I don't think the average Klaus agrees with this but who cares what he thinks. The elites know what's best.

...."54,000 students at 800 schools across Germany currently receive Islam religion lessons"......

This should cause great alarm to any parent seeing 'this' taught to their kids!

You have posted the most illuminating expose of the true nature of Islam. I recommend that everyone view it and pass it around.

Fits just fine, since “Mein Kampf” was mostly plagiarized from the koran and the other 5 Islamic “holy” books.
