People and Politics | Lessons in Islam - A young teacher breaks taboos in Germany

Lamy Kaddor, born in Germany to a Syrian father, wants to make her religion more accessible to children and young people. She's written two books about Islam, a children's Koran and a text book - both in German. The books contain illustrations depicting the prophet Mohammed - a practice forbidden by Islam. Conservative muslim scholars are not impressed by Kaddor's work. But the kids love the open atmosphere in her classes, where no question is taboo. Now, her teaching methods could be used as a model for lessons in the subject in schools around the country.

Islam is a total system of life, it puts an enormous emphasis on gaining of knowledge. It is through knowledge that a person will fully realize the wonders of? our Creator in nature and within ourselves. A Muslim is any person anywhere in the world whose obedience, allegiance, and loyalty are to God, the Lord of the Universe. Even if you are a Christian, it doesn't hurt to learn about 1.6 Billion Muslims who love and respect Jesus!

Was für ne Schande! Das sowas überhaupt möglich ist. Wenn da das Schulamt nicht reagiert dann weiß ich echt net weiter. Wir sind in Deutschland. Da wird dann auch auf deutsch begrüßt und nicht auf türkisch oder sonstwas!!! Integration failed!!!

In Deutschland muss sich einiges ändern!

@khalilrabee So You do agree with me that the initial ideas of ISlam are corrupted by those who use the sacred religion for their own political purpose. Islam has become ugly because it is politicized.

[khalilrabee]

@Berkut1986 ...ppl and we listen in our ignorance while the qor'an says it clearly "ask the ones who know/have knowledge" not the ones who pretend they have knowledge, and what the mollahs are doing in pakistan and iran is not islam...that is not islam they are just applying their own rules IN THE NAME OF ISLAM. allahumma onsor almuslimeen

[khalilrabee]

@Berkut1986 of them..and muslim stagnate (not islam) because of these leaders who were put on their throuns by the colonists...but if we go back to islam (not what some ppl call islam) and the sunna and we listen to the scholers who know the truth and open our senses, mind and hearts we will be able to unite...saddam was a traitor too and there are rumors that it wasnt him who had been killed...islam doesnt need ppl....ppl need islam and we really need it, this is not what allah wanted but some.

[khalilrabee]

@Berkut1986 islam doesnt stagnate in science...the first word that was revealed of the qor'an is "eqra' " which means recite but also means read...mohammad said "otloboo al'elma walaw fesseen" which means "request knowledge even if from china". if some ppl dont respect islam and apply their rule in the name of islam ofcourse there will always be betrayal and muslims wont unite. since world war 1 after the deviding of the islamic empire no leader has lead the muslims that was not a traitor. all..

[Berkut1986]

@khalilrabee but in terms of science and progress Islam stagnates and puts people back. Muslims are very lazy and that is due to being unconditionally humble to every word of Mollahs.

[Berkut1986]

@khalilrabee Muslims will never unite as they are silly and stubborn. That is the mentality of them which cannot be change. I remember the words of Saddam Husein when USA attacked Iraq: 'East has always been betrayal'. All of arab countries have betrayed him. Muammar Qaddafi was right when he said that there is nothing for what arabs can be proud of! Second, I like the islamic rules regarding the social position of women in society, family and therealtionship between people of opposite sexes

[khalilrabee]

@Berkut1986 we must wake up, unite as one nation and restore the khilafa. and that day will come allah knows when but it will come. muslim americans should take advantage of teh freedom they have in america and start acting along other muslims around the world cause in america the least u have is freedom of speach which is inexistent in other countries. we really need to act. or else we will keep following every dumb ruler that says a couple of words on tv for some wealth and we keep sufering.

[khalilrabee]

@Berkut1986 ...realise that unless we go back to the qor'an and sunna and apply ALL OF IT not just what we like the muslim ummah will be torn apart, fighting on eanother and sleep over the real issues and thats what allah told us in the qor'an.

because after all what system of life can be better than the one given by the creator the wise, most powerful and merciful himself?
