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?” …

Seems the person in the article pushing for this is someone who wants the State to promote Islamic thinking to “muslim” students in the schools.

It also refers to “secular muslims”.

Muslim is not a race (despite what the Islamic supremacists think).

And not everyone who fled Islamic theocracy at home wanted to be a muslim. It is an ideology enforced by a death penalty and conversions by the sword. Muslims are “not permitted” to convert away from the faith.

How many so-called muslim families want their kids to learn about Jesus Christ?

I think when we had the detainees in Gitmo, we should’ve offered ALL religious texts to them, not just korans. “You are FREE to choose any text here.”

Ask the indoctrinator,

“Why can I not go there, under penalty of death?”

“Why is that city segregated?”

“Why do Islamic nations kill those who convert away from Islam?”

As sure as the sun sets in the west, Germany will one day outlaw pork and beer. Their Muslim demographic will make it so.
