Religiöse Vielfalt und Judentum im islamischen Religionsunterricht: Empirische Befunde und Potenziale zur Antisemitismusprävention

The article deals with religious diversity and Judaism in Islamic religious education/Islam classes and its potential for preventing antisemitism from an Islamic religious education perspective. Based on the attitudes of Muslim pupils towards religious diversity, the extent to which Islamic religious education—against the background of fundamentally growing diversity conflicts and anti-Semitic incidents in schools—can promote the ability to deal with plurality as an orientation competence is discussed. Afterwards, perspectives on religious education and didactic possibilities for action are outlined as to how misanthropic attitudes can be constructively and critically addressed in Islamic religious education. The article is based on an empirical study in which the attitudes of pupils from the Bavarian school experiment on Islam lessons were examined. To this end, 30 qualitative interviews were conducted with Muslim pupils from Islamic and ethics lessons at school and evaluated using content analysis.
