About the lecture
Islam in Europe is currently associated with extremist activities or migration. A fuller understanding of everyday life among four generations of Muslims in Western Europe requires attention to other topics. This religious studies lecture examines developments in the second half of the twentieth century, when Muslim organisations became institutionalised. For most Muslims, however, Islam remains primarily a cultural or private matter.
Martin Klapetek, PhD., studies Islam in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, focusing on Muslim integration, mosque construction and funerary issues. He is an assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Faculty of Theology, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
