Germany's education minister wants Islam taught in public schools by imams

The country that doesn't even allow homeschooling is now facing another problem: Islamic education in public schools by the ones least qualified (via Weasel Zippers and The Blaze):
BERLIN — The German Minister of Education Annette Schavan wants imams teach courses in Islamic religions in schools, in an interview with the weekly Die Zeit to be published Thursday.

In Germany, where church and state are not separate, the schools provide religious instruction, Catholic or Protestant to students.

They could be “used in schools” at halftime, as “priests,” said Schavan to Die Zeit. She nevertheless conditioned their hiring that they are trained at university in Germany.

Like most European countries, Germany, with one third of Catholics, Protestants and all the rest being of another religion or no religion, is confronted with the thorny issue of integration of this population.

According to a study published by Die Zeit in December, two out of five Germans feel threatened by Islam, more than the French, Dutch, Danish or Portuguese.
There may be a reason for that: if France and Holland, for example, are taking steps to defend against the ummah, but Germany's not, and if some schools are facing an influx of Muslim students as the indigenous German birthrate plunges, is it any wonder the German population could feel that way?

And training at local colleges, I'm afraid, isn't helping much if the training happens to come from other imams in turn. It's like the blind leading the blind.
