Germany’s classrooms make a place for Islam
(The Christian Science Monitor) Timur Kumlu had just read the second-graders a chapter from the Qur’an about Abraham looking for Allah but finding him neither in the sun, the wind, nor the moon.
Who is Abraham? One boy with piercing dark eyes jumped in. “He trusted Allah!”
Good, and who is Allah? “God,” answered a pale-faced Albanian boy. Almost half the pupils at the school in Frankfurt are Muslim, their parents coming from Afghanistan and Iraq, Syria and Albania, Turkey and Morocco.
