Moin und Salam

Is Islam a part of Germany? And, if so, since when has this been the case? What is everyday life like for Muslims living here? What form does social coexistence take? In Moin und Salam, the photojournalist Julius Matuschik, together with the political and religious studies scholar Raida Chbib, explores these issues among others, yet they refrain from proffering any one-dimensional answers or conclusive evaluations. Through impressive historical images, true-to-life photographs, and texts on the history and contemporary status of Islam in Germany, this volume guides the reader through historical traces and stories from the past to the present day. The illustrated book is an invitation to the readerto discover the diversity and the vibrant spectrum of Muslim life in Germany through its carefully researched written and visual portrayals.
