4409082: FU_Islam and Europe (Lecture)

Beschreibung

Since 9/11 Islam is continuously analyzed and criticized in the Media. Most of the coverage is biased and inaccurate. However, some newspapers, scholars or politicians try to show that Islam is something "new" and unknown in Europe. An eye-catching message of rightwing politicians or racist groups is a) Islam is a new Religion inside the borders of Europe; and b) Islam is incompatible with the political and moral values of Europe.

The lecture will discuss the media constructions of Islam and Muslims in Europe and it will provide an introduction to Islam in general. We will also focus on the Islamic prophetic tradition, the Quran as well as the Shariah law. The main part of the course will focus on the history of Islam in Europe from the late 19th to the 20th century.

• The course will discuss the story of Islam in Europe and how different Muslim traditions influenced the European traditions and vice versa.
