How Bosnian and Albanian Muslims in Switzerland are reacting to the Islam discourse
|
| Ever since the terrorist attacks of September 11, Islam has been viewed as a monolithic entity which is fundamentally incompatible with Western values. This project explores how this discourse is affecting the new self-projection and communication strategies of Bosnian and Albanian-speaking Muslims. |

Training Imams and religious teachers in Switzerland?
|
| Should Imams and Islamic RE teachers receive their training in Switzerland? And how would this be possible? This project will ascertain the needs, views and attitudes of the Muslim population of the German and French-speaking parts of Switzerland on the one hand, and those of the religious leaders, education authorities, political leaders and the judiciary on the other. |
