Following 9/11 and the growth of religiously legitimated violence
in Islamic countries, the focus of public discussion moved to imams
and teachers of religion as actors supporting Muslim isolation and
the lack of willingness to integrate - imams became central figures
in the debate on Islam. With great enthusiasm, politicians
discovered them to be the scapegoats of a failed integration of
Muslims in Europe. Integrated imams trained in Europe were to
promote Muslim integration, prevent violence, resolve
contradictions between society and Muslims and further Islamic
enlightenment. With this objective an attempt was made, on the one
hand, to rediscover the existing institutions for imam training in
Balkan states and, on the other hand, to establish new educational
institutions at European universities to train Europe-compliant
imams. Due to their central role in the lives of Muslims, the
training of imams and teachers of religion is given an important
role in the process of Muslim integration.
