["Austria was one of the first Western European countries to recognise Islam as a public corporation. This historic recognition goes back to the long, multifaceted history of Islam in Austria and fulfilled a long-cherished wish of Muslims in Austria, which also exists in many other European countries.
For 40 years, this recognition has enabled Muslims to teach Islam as a regular subject in public schools. The knowledge gained from these many years of experience in the field of Islamic religious education is of great importance for other European countries that are also striving to integrate Islamic religious education into the public school system.
This volume offers a comprehensive overview from a religious education and didactic, socio-political, educational, legal and empirical perspective. It sheds light on the 40-year history of Islamic religious education in Austria and shows what contribution religious education can make to the integration of Muslim children into society."]
