Germany: Education minister wants imams to teach Islam in schools

Via Ennahar Online (h/t EuropeNews):
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.
