Details
More and more of Germany’s Muslim citizens are actively participating in politics and civil society, from sport clubs to community work to being active in parliament. On the other hand, fear and mistrust towards Islam seems to be growing. Are Salafist preachers who call young men to jihad to be blamed? Or are we missing the bigger picture of everyday life, simply because it is not newsworthy?
