The Battle for German Muslim Minds / Deutsche Welle , 27July.2004

The Battle for German Muslim Minds | Current Affairs | Deutsche Welle | 27.07.2004: "Police raids on Islamic schools may shake up fundamentalist cells, but officials agree that the right teachers are the best way to root out radical Islamic leanings among Germany's Muslim youth.

Officials know that raids alone can't root out radicalism in pockets of Germany's 3.2 million-strong Muslim community. One of the best hopes remains ending the monopoly on Islamic teachings held by dubious Imams and teachers in courtyard mosques, and bringing Muslim children back into the educational mainstream.
