SUMMARY:Panel discussion: Which Religions are Part of Germany?
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion: Which Religions are Part of Germany?\n\nThe religious landscape in Germany has seen considerable change - In the Christian-influenced, albeit highly secularized society, religious diversity is on the increase.\n\nThe pluralism of religions, however, is seen by over 70% of Germans as a cause for conflicts and by only about half as enriching. Western European neighbors are far more tolerant of Islam and other non-Christian religions than Germany, as a survey of the University of Munster in 2010 showed. It reported that Germans speak out against new mosques and minarets far more often than the French, Danes, Dutch or Portuguese, and are also less willing to grant other religions equal rights. There is now even a ruling by the Cologne Regional Court that deems the ritual male circumcision illegal and thus restricts the freedom of religion.\n\nHow should the relationship between religion and secular government be organized? Should Germany open up its religious and political structures? How does the Jewish community position itself? And why do Germans have a more negative image of Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, and Muslims?\n\n\nPanelists:\nPetra Bahr (cultural officer of the Protestant Church in Germany)\nStephan Kramer (general secretary of the Central Council of Jews in Germany)\nAiman Mazyek (chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany)\nDetlef Pollack (professor for sociology of religion)\nand other\nModerator: Isabel Schayani (journalist at ARD [Germany's First Public TV-Channel])\n\nFurther information on the discussion series and brief biographies of the speakers can be found here.\n\nA recording of the event can be found on our YouTube channel (in German).\n\nAdvised by DeutschPlus e.V. - Initiative for a Plural Republic\n\nMedia partner: taz. die tageszeitung\nwww.taz.de \n\n\nWhen: 29 October 2012, 7:30 pm\n\nWhere: Jewish Museum Berlin, Lindenstraße 9-14, 10969 Berlin, Old Building, second level, Great Hall\n\nAdmission: free\n\nRegistration: Tel: +49 (0)30 259 93 488 , reservierung@jmberlin.de, \n\nContact: Julia Jürgens, Tel: +49 (0)30 259 93 353, Fax: +49 (0)30 259 93 330, j.juergens@jmberlin.de, \n\nFor further information, see http://www.jmberlin.de/main/EN/02-Events/Events_2012/2012_10_29_religion.php
