The first German Islam Conference , also known as the German Islam Conference ( DIK ), marked the beginning of a long-term dialogue between the German state and Muslims living in Germany . It was initiated by the former German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble . According to the Ministry of the Interior , the aim of the conference was to achieve “better religious and socio-political integration of the Muslim population and good coexistence among all people in Germany, regardless of their beliefs”. On September 27, 2016, there was a ceremony to mark its tenth anniversary.

The kick-off meeting took place on September 27, 2006 in Charlottenburg Palace (Berlin). One consequence of the conference was the establishment of the Coordinating Council of Muslims .

Schäuble's successors in the office of Federal Minister of the Interior, Ministers Thomas de Maizière and Hans-Peter Friedrich , continued the German Islam Conference. Phase three with the focus on "welfare and pastoral care" ends in 2017 before the elections to the German Bundestag. The fourth phase has been running since the end of 2018 under Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer .

Subject and aim

According to its own statements, the Federal Ministry of the Interior is pursuing the goal of putting the relationship between the German state and the Muslims living in Germany on a sustainable basis and integrating them better in religious and socio-political terms. It is not about the relationship between Islam and Christianity, but about the relationship between state and religion. The initiator Wolfgang Schäuble emphasizes that the aim of the German Islam Conference is to create an "institutional framework for the dialogue between people of Muslim faith and representatives of all levels of our community" in order to "facilitate the integration of Muslims and maintain social cohesion." explained in the introduction: “Islam is part of Germany and part of Europe, it is part of our present and it is part of our future. Muslims are welcome in Germany. They should develop their talents and help our country advance. ”The real" inventor "of the format is the economist Markus Kerber , who organized the first event in 2006 and has been responsible for the event since 2018.

construction

The plenum as the highest body of the DIK discusses the templates of the working groups that meet regularly and the discussion group and meets once a year. 30 representatives of the German state and the Muslims in Germany form the plenum and discuss the recommendations made by the working groups. In the first phase of the DIK, the plenary mainly discussed fundamental issues in order to then form working groups with specific assignments. As the host, the Federal Minister of the Interior is also a participant in the plenary session.

With the continuation under Thomas de Maizière, the plenum will first develop a work program with specific tasks. A preparatory committee will be set up in place of the working groups, which convenes project groups to deal with the issues of the working program. The preparatory committee meets three to four times a year. The project groups deal with a specific topic from the work program (role models, participation in the labor market, prevention of extremisms) within a limited time frame. In the current fourth phase there are no more formal bodies and no formal members in the German Islam Conference. Different formats such as conferences, workshops, expert panels and projects are now implemented depending on the respective topic.

First phase

Work program in the first phase

The Federal Ministry of the Interior had already specified three areas of work in advance:

  • German social order and consensus of values (equality, family, upbringing, democratic culture, secularization)
  • Religious issues in the German constitutional understanding ( separation of church and state , religious symbols, mosque building, Islamic instruction in German)
  • Business and media as a bridge (education, training and job market, analysis of the image of Islam in Germany, commitment to non-prejudiced and differentiated reporting in the German media)

Structure of the first phase

At the opening plenum of the first phase, a working group with 25 participants each was set up for each of these subject areas, which met between the plenums and worked on the subject areas. In addition, a discussion group was set up on the subject of “Security and Islamism”. Here, joint strategies for better cooperation between security authorities and Muslims were worked out.

The separate discussion group “Security and Islamism” discusses strategies against young Muslims slipping into the terrorist scene and joint strategies for better cooperation between security authorities and Muslims.

Participants in the first phase

15 representatives from the federal, state and local governments and 15 Muslims took part in the conference, including representatives of various Muslim associations in Germany and individuals invited by the federal government, including dedicated critics of Islam. The then Federal Minister of the Interior, Wolfgang Schäuble, chaired the meeting. The following people took part in the first plenary sessions in 2006 and 2007:

State representatives

Representatives of Muslim organizations

Unorganized Muslims

Some members of this “Plenary of Thirty” also participated in the advisory bodies of the Islam Conference, “the three working groups and the discussion group. A total of around one hundred other experts and scientists were represented in the advisory bodies. ”These around one hundred other participants in the Islam Conference included:

Plenary sessions

There were four plenary sessions:

  • First plenary session on September 27, 2006
  • Second plenary session on May 2, 2007
  • Third plenary session on March 13, 2008
  • Fourth plenary session on June 25, 2009

Second plenary session, 2010

Reactions in advance

Even in the run-up to the second meeting of the Islam Conference, criticism grew. Union politicians criticized that there were hardly any results, that conservative religious representatives would rather work against integration. Markus Söder , CSU General Secretary, called for a "complete commitment" to the country's fundamental values:

“I am against our having a misunderstood dialogue in Germany. If you want to live here permanently, you have to acknowledge our values. Anyone who does not commit to it has no future here. "

The Federal Government Commissioner for Integration , Maria Böhmer (CDU), criticized the demand of a minority of Muslims for separate physical education classes for boys and girls: "We will not allow a small minority of backward-looking people to try to install the rules of their grandfathers here." Cultural diversity is beautiful and enriching, but it ends where Germany's fundamental values ​​and rights are called into question. “Gender equality is one of these non-negotiable fundamental rights.” () Böhmer also questioned the role of the Muslim Coordination Council . In terms of membership, the council only represented about ten percent of Muslims, said Böhmer. The body could hardly claim to stand for the interests of all Muslims.

The suspicion was reinforced that the associations would only take part in the conference in order to obtain the status of a religious community, which grants them extensive rights. However, little commitment is shown towards Schäuble's integration policy goals. Ayyub Axel Köhler, spokesman for the coordination council, revealed to Die Zeit that the council is in favor of headscarves and will support parents who want to withdraw their daughters from physical education. Also Lale Akgün , the Islam-Commissioner of the SPD, was critical of the new "Coordination Council of Muslims." If its four associations were given the power to define Islam as a joint umbrella organization, it would cause sleepless nights. “These four associations together would represent a very conservative Islam. There would be no more room for liberal views. "()

The working group “Religious Issues in the German Constitutional Understanding” agreed that the free and legal basic order applies to everyone and that everyone has accepted the legal and values ​​of German society.

Reactions to the results

The Muslims involved expressed their incomprehension about the slowly progressing rapprochement process. Aiman ​​Mazyek did not want to lead the discussion until “Saint Never's Day”. Ayyub Axel Köhler demanded immediate results, everything else was wasted time. With regard to functionaries who tried through the Islam Conference to upgrade their role as representatives of Islam, Jürgen Kaube said it would be

“[…] A negligent illusion to believe that the Islam Conference could clarify who should speak for Muslims in Germany. Because the Muslims themselves were not asked about it. Why not? Also because they do not even exist as 'the Muslims'. Only individual groups that have been invited to the discussion table have a strong interest in finding that they have been assigned a state-recognized speaker role. "

As for the size of their following, the associations exaggerated excessively, says Kaube. The members of the conference have been invited, but wanted to see themselves as delegates with the right to a seat. That was the main problem with the second conference.

Ali Ertan Toprak , spokesman for the Alevi community in Germany and thus the representative of 500,000 Alevis, tried to dispel the erroneous image of a compact denomination that must now finally be recognized. At the conference he suggested to the KPR that it should first be recognized as a religious community in the manner of its association.

Kaube nevertheless saw successes at the conference:

"One of the important achievements of the Islam Conference is to make visible who you are actually dealing with with those who want to set the state conditions under which they would be willing to integrate."

In this regard, he calls it remarkable that the “Coordination Council of Muslims” has refused to designate the values ​​on which the Basic Law is based as capable of consensus for Muslims. The importance of the conference lies in "insisting that this discrepancy between the political will to participate, the declared intention to integrate and resistance to the secular premises of this community is unacceptable."

Second phase

Second phase work program

In the second phase, the Federal Ministry of the Interior specified the following topics:

  • Establishing an institutionalized cooperation between the state and Muslims (establishment and further development of Islamic theological offers at public universities, training and further education of Islamic religious officials and other multipliers in Islamic communities, ...)
  • Living gender equality as a common value (question of access to the labor market and the difficulties associated with it, patriarchal role models, ...)
  • Prevention of extremism, radicalization and social polarization (promoting tolerance, breaking down prejudices and enemy images, ...)

Structure in the second phase

1st plenary session

The plenary as the highest body advises on the work and proposals of the preparatory committee and the project groups. It meets once a year.

2. Preparatory Committee

In place of the working groups in the first phase of the DIK, the preparatory committee has been responsible since 2010 for developing recommendations, which are then discussed in plenary.

3. Four project groups

The project groups are convened by the preparatory committee and deal with a specific topic for a limited period of time. The preparatory committee set up four project groups:

  • Prevention work with young people : creating a common understanding of the phenomena of Muslim hostility and anti-Semitism among Muslim young people and Islamist extremism, developing methods and instruments for prevention work, exchanging practical experience in preventing hostility towards Muslims, Islamist extremism and anti-Semitism among Muslim young people, promoting democracy and tolerance.
  • Further training for religious staff : Further training in the areas of language and society, promoting integration and participation of Muslim migrants, opening up mosques and municipalities to intercultural issues.
  • Role models in Muslim milieus : gender equality, dealing with different role models, role expectations.
  • Better integration of Muslims in the labor market : promoting the participation of Muslims in the labor market, promoting gender equality in working life and the educational offers that enable it, disadvantages in the labor market.

Participants in the second phase

Muslim persons who took part for the first time in 2010 were:

Individual plenary sessions

First plenary session, 2010

On May 17, 2010, Federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière opened the first plenary session of the second working phase of the German Islam Conference. The participants adopted an eleven-page work program for the legislative period from 2009 to 2013. The focus was on the participation and integration of Muslims in Germany. With the focus on "institutionalized cooperation and integration-related project work", the DIK promoted Islamic-theological university offers and the introduction of Islamic religious instruction. The study “Role models in Muslim milieus” was commissioned in the thematic complex “Living gender equality as a common value”. Under the topic of “Prevention of extremism, radicalization and social polarization”, the participants debated how anti-Muslim attitudes and radicalization can be prevented.

Second plenary session, 2011

In the plenary meeting on March 29, 2011, the participants discussed issues relating to the promotion of Muslim religious education and the development of guidelines for the training of religious staff and other multipliers of Islamic communities.

The media interest, however, focused on the statements of the new Federal Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich (CSU), who took part for the first time , that although the Muslims living in Germany belong to Germany, Islam itself does not belong to Germany. Friedrich was referring to a sentence in a speech given by the then Federal President Christian Wulff on October 2, 2010. The sentence had been widely received and discussed in public; it read '[...] Islam now also belongs to Germany' (details and source here ).

Friedrich raised the demand for a "security partnership" between Muslims and the state - intended as an independent initiative outside of the Islam Conference - in order to preventively sensitize "families, fellow believers and fellow members" to Islamist tendencies in the private sphere. This was criticized by Muslim representatives at the conference as populism and promoting a culture of denunciation in the Islamic communities. Nine of the ten Muslim individuals who took part in the Islam Conference, including the federal chairman of the Turkish community in Germany Kenan Kolat and the chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany Aiman ​​Mazyek , signed a joint declaration of protest that with Friedrich's utterances "the manifold manifestations of Islam in Germany would once again be reduced to extremist potential and moments of danger ”.

Third plenary session, 2012

The focus of the third plenary meeting of the German Islam Conference on April 19, 2012 was the discussion of the interim results of the project groups “Role Models in Muslim Milieus” and the participation of Muslims in the labor market. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees and the Center for Turkey Studies presented the DIK study “Islamic Community Life in Germany”, which for the first time provides comprehensive data on mosque communities in Germany. With the declaration “Live gender equality as a common value”, the DIK took a stand against domestic violence and forced marriage. A specialist conference of the DIK on the subject of "Muslims and the labor market: promoting diversity, making better use of potential" dealt with the opportunities for Muslims in the labor market in the run-up to the plenary session. The project group “Better Integration of Muslims in the Labor Market” compiled its results in a brochure of the same name and presented them to the conference participants. The Minister of the Interior also opened the youth competition of the German Islam Conference "Success Stories", which called on young people to deal artistically with successful professional biographies of Muslims.

Fourth plenary session, 2013

On May 7, 2013, the German Islam Conference met for the last time in the 2009-2013 legislative period ( 17th German Bundestag , Merkel II cabinet ). The focus of the plenary session was the work of the prevention work with young people. In order to prevent societal polarization, the DIK had founded an initiative through which, until May 2015, more projects will be promoted that counter anti-Muslim, anti-Semitism and religious extremism among young people. The media coverage focused on the concerns of the Muslim associations, which criticized that issues such as security and extremism dominated the conference. The North Rhine-Westphalian Minister Guntram Schneider joined the criticism of Islamic associations who had criticized the organization of the conference. Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich put the focus of the conference on combating extremism. The German Islam Conference is not a conference on questions of internal security .

Third phase

Third phase work program

For the legislative period of the 18th German Bundestag, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the associations participating in the German Islam Conference put two topics on the work program in a kick-off meeting on March 24, 2014:

  • Welfare care as a topic of social participation
  • Pastoral care as a topic of religious practice and participation in religious law

The German Islam Conference wants to concentrate and streamline its work. A steering committee works as a political body. A working committee should develop recommendations. There should be no other bodies. Experts from science, charities and the churches should be included. Regular public conferences should make the work transparent and give it further impetus.

Third phase participants

Islamic associations and migrant organizations:

Fourth phase

Fourth phase work program

The fourth phase of the German Islam Conference started at the end of November 2018 in Berlin with a kick-off event, during which Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer gave a keynote address to over 200 participants. A broad spectrum of Muslim civil society was represented in Germany. a. Representatives of mosque umbrella organizations, non-association organizations and smaller initiatives. There were also scientists, experts and practitioners, representatives of the administration at federal and state level, including municipalities, the churches and Jewish life in Germany.

A follow-up process is currently linked to this prelude, which has an integration, religious and socio-political focus.

As part of the focus on integration policy, the practical impact of the German Islam Conference will be expanded with the new grassroots and everyday support approach “Mosques for Integration - Opening, Networking, Cooperation”. The funding approach is intended to strengthen the integration work of the Islamic communities and to support them in opening up to the neighborhoods.

The focus of the religious policy focus is on questions and perspectives relating to the training of religious staff in Islamic communities. After the establishment of university centers for Islamic theology, the focus is now also on the practical training of spiritual staff following academic training. Here, in the form of expert conferences and expert reports, etc. a. Discusses and examines whether and under what conditions and in what form the state and religious communities can cooperate in the training of religious personnel.

As part of its socio-political focus, the German Islam Conference is dedicated to the exchange on the prevention of anti-Semitism and hostility to Muslims and the promotion of dialogue within Muslims. On the basis of its existing results, it contributes to the prevention of social polarization by strengthening the public perception of successful projects in the areas mentioned and promoting exchange between Muslim and Jewish communities.

structure

In the 19th legislative period, the DIK sees itself as the framework for a - also significant - intra-Muslim debate on questions of identity and the associated self-organization of Muslims in Germany. The DIK should promote and accompany this process.

The current DIK has a more practical effect and focuses more on everyday life and on-site integration. There are no longer any fixed committees or memberships, but rather thematic and occasion-related events, collaborations and funding. Examples are a workshop on Islamophobia and Muslim hostility and an expert conference on the training of religious staff in Islamic communities.

The overarching goal of the DIK is and remains to make a contribution to the fact that an Islam can arise in, from and for Germany, an Islam of Muslims in Germany.

criticism

"Muslim§Right"

The Islam Conference was criticized from an Islamist point of view by certain Muslim interest groups . In 2007 the Islamist fundamentalist website www.muslimrecht.org , which no longer exists, started a campaign against “German Islam” and the Islam Conference. According to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Baden-Württemberg, the website may have been an Internet platform for the Hisb at Tahrir, which was banned in 2003 . The basic thesis of the appeal was that the aim of the Islam Conference was to create a “German Islam” which, in case of doubt, meant for Muslims to be bound by the German constitution and the German constitutional and legal order and not by the Koran or the Sunna . The Islam Conference was rated on the homepage as an “attempt to destroy the basic values ​​of Muslims and to secularize Muslims”. The website operator refused such an attempt, as it allowed in particular the insult to God and Muhammad. The initiators of the conference were called " kuffar " (unbelievers). The homepage had called for Muslims to ask God to “destroy” the “bad plans” of the “unbelievers”.

Critical Islam Conference

The so-called Critical Islam Conference was conceived as a counter-event to the German Islam Conference. The first took place in 2008, the second in May 2013. The conferences are organized by the Central Council of Ex-Muslims and the Giordano Bruno Foundation .

Other

Ahmad Mansour , an extremism expert , criticized the following in September 2016, among other things: since 2013, all Muslim individuals have been unloaded; Almost all that remained were reactionary, conservative associations. Salafism, the radicalization of young people, women's rights - all problematic topics would be avoided in the Islam Conference. For example, anyone who criticizes the fear education widespread in Muslim families or that texts are blindly followed (instead of placing them in their historical and local context) is defamed as Islamophobic . German authorities would have to put aside their naivety and deal with the content z. B. deal with prevention work. Associations represented in the Islam Conference have their structures in Saudi Arabia or Turkey and pursue political interests. At the same time, Ahmad Mansour is an active participant in various current formats of the German Islam Conference.
