Islam finds a place in Germany's classrooms
(The Christian Science Monitor) Timur Kumlu had just read 20-odd second-graders a chapter from the Qur’an, about Abraham looking for Allah, but finding him neither in the sun, the wind, nor the moon.
Who is Abraham? One boy with piercing dark eyes jumped in. “He trusted Allah!”
Good, and who is Allah? “God,” answered a pale-faced Albanian boy. Almost half the pupils at the Henri Dunant school are Muslim, their parents coming from as far as Afghanistan and Iraq, Syria and Albania, Turkey and Morocco.
