The presence of Muslims can be documented since the 17th century. Since the 1920s, they live in Germany as a perceivable group whose way of life differs from that of the majority society. The dialogue of the Muslims with the majority society has different forms and changes accordant to actual demands. Particularly, there is in Germany a “Staatskirchenrecht”, which enables Christian churches as a religious community to decide upon their fundaments of belief. As Muslims are not organized in such a way, they are not accepted as a religious community. In questions of Islamic instruction in schools and the choice of teachers, they are not treated in the same way as Christians.

A presença de muçulmanos na Alemanha é documentada desde o século XVII. Desde a década de 1920, eles vivem na Alemanha como um grupo perceptível, cujo modo de vida difere daquele adotado pela maioria da sociedade. O diálogo dos muçulmanos com a parcela majoritária da população tem diferentes formas e mudanças, de acordo com as demandas existentes. Particularmente, existe na Alemanha um “Staatskirchenrecht”, que autoriza as igrejas cristãs, como comunidades religiosas, a decidirem sobre suas crenças fundamentais. Como os muçulmanos não estão organizados dessa maneira, eles não são aceitos como comunidade religiosa. Nas questões da instrução islâmica nas escolas e da discricionariedade dos professores, eles não são tratados da mesma maneira que os cristãos.
Palavras-chave: Muçulmanos na Alemanha; Organizações Muçulmanas; Diálogo Interreligioso.
