they see themselves as bridge-builders and mediators, the solutions do not make, but. So Stefan Zinsmeister of the Foundation, it said on Thursday, as they presented their project in Munich. Interest master consults by phone, Mail, or in the case of a local visit. Because the employees really want to take the time, he is expecting about 40 consultations per year.

you are both, Muslims, and Bayern

<p class="sz-teaser__summary" An elaborate study of Muslims in Bavaria, shows the range of their ways of life: from religious to secular, conservative to liberal. By Matthias Drobinski

in 2018, a total of 16 men and women from all Bavarian government districts interviewed politicians, municipal employees, representatives of Christian charities and Muslim communities. An employee of a municipality is reflected in the study with the following history. At the beginning, have ruled in the community the Belief that all Muslim communities are somehow similar. Finally, you have the same Religion. But then you spoke with the one and approved them something and the other said: “Why do you prefer?”. This went back and forth. It must be Bets10 quite complicated. At the end they came to the office to the conclusion: “Then we stop with no more what if they’re just arguing.”

municipalities and Muslims knew each other very little, so one of the conclusions of the scientists. One interviewee, for example, showed frightened about a third-grader, he witnessed at a local school project. With shining eyes, told by his Cousin, the can the Koran by heart. One of them gushed and led the other horror: What is this Religion, in just the Reciting of words and not the understanding that counts? About the meaning of the Qur’an’s reception, he knew nothing, the negative judgment on the Muslim community, heard of the Boy, but was taken. A call to the Islam advice would have been able to expand his view of the world, the hope of the initiators. An undercurrent of Islamophobia in the country were both Muslim Respondents, as well as representatives of cities and municipalities.

There is a need for the recognition that even the Locals are guided by cultural assumptions, said Haci-Halil Uslucan, the was the study. Another result of the study is that a conflict-free society to exist. “Without Muslims, there would have been no conflict, this is a mistaken idea.” Oguz Tasdelen, managing Director of Ditib youth told how many young Muslims experience your life in Bavaria. Since the relationship between Turkey and Germany deteriorated, he experienced a lot of rejection. He often hear: “you are all agents of Erdogan.” At once he had his youth not more so as before. It is good that there is now an Institution, the know both sides, the Muslims and the municipalities.

The adviser to the Eugen-Biser-Stiftung, in either the Muslim or the Christian Faith. Most importantly, be experts in both worlds, said Ayşe Coskun-Sahin. She and her colleagues have studied Islamic studies, Arabic studies, Catholic theology, or anthropology. The advice was “free, confidential and ideologically independent”. The Robert Bosch Foundation supported you over the next three years financially, with 250 000 Euro and with experiences from Baden-Württemberg, where it has been around since 2015 an Islamic advice. The Erlanger centre for Islam and law in Europe helps in the analysis and design of advice. The Director cited an example of how local authorities and Muslim organisations could work together better in the future. A Muslim comes to the Imam and tells the story of a Jinn in the stomach, then it was to Express often his way, that he is very depressed. “Then it is good, if the Imam knows the psychological counseling.”

integration Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) has welcomed the project. It could help to angry protests by concerned citizens against a mosque, but also in the simple things. Where, for example, learn the rites of a lowbrow mayor of a little over Muslim burial? Such a mayor would turn to the Islam advice should he be informed, that a traditional Muslim burial without a coffin in Bavaria is not permitted. But Herrmann was not, he reasoned, why the support of the free state is probably non-material nature will remain. The obligation to make ideological neutrality, to leave nothing else. At the end of the note, that the cooperation is open for new partners and to build the hope of new bridges, but to go together on it.
