Abstract:
How will Islam in Germany develop until 2030? This question was tackled by our seminary in comparative religion, to whom more than 30 students from different faculties and denominational backgrounds contributed.
Based on corresponding studies as well as interviews with experts, we developped situational descriptions and scenarios and produced by way of a multistage process a shared prognosis. Our question included origin and number of muslims and their societal, economic and sociolocal standing, the organizational and legal structures of islamic associations, the struggle between moderates and extremists, the relationship to the state, churches and jewish communities and also the overall development of Germany as well as of the muslim world. Our overall prognosis culminates to a cautious optimism.
