BONN, September 26 (IslamOnline.net) – Nine of German’s 16 states are currently scrutinizing requests to have a weekly class in state schools devoted to teaching Muslim students their faith.
Several Muslim societies have approached the education ministries in the nine states early in 2005 to assume responsibility for preparing the curricula and supervising the teaching process.
For as many years, Muslims have been involved in painstaking efforts to secure a right already granted by the Constitution allowing followers of all recognized religious groups to be taught their religion in public schools.
