Islamic religious education (IRE) in Europe has become a subject of
intense debate during the past decade. There is concern that states
are doing too little or too much to shape the spiritual beliefs of
private citizens. State response to the concern ranges from
sponsoring religious education in public schools to forgoing it
entirely and policies vary according to national political culture.
In some countries public schools teach Islam to Muslims as a
subject within a broader religious curriculum that gives parents
the right to choose their children's religious education. In the
other countries public schools teach Islam to all pupils as a
subject with a close relation to the academic study of religions.
There are also countries where public schools do not teach religion
at all, although there is an opportunity to teach about Islam in
school subjects such as art, history, or literature. IRE taught
outside publicly funded institutions, is of course also taught as a
confessional subject in private Muslim schools, mosques and by
Muslim organisations. Often students who attend these classes also
attend a publicly funded "main stream school". This volume brings
together a number of researchers for the first time to explore the
interconnections between Islamic educations and public schooling in
Europe. The relation between Islamic education and public schooling
is analysed within the publicly and privately funded sectors. How
is publicly funded education organised, why is it organised in this
way, what is the history and what are the controversial issues?
What are the similarities and differences between privately run
Islamic education and "main stream" schooling? What are the
experiences of teachers, parents and pupils? The volume will be of
interest to scholars of Islam in Europe, policy makers of education
and integration and teachers of religious education.
