Die Ahmadiyya-Bewegung

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad rief sie vor dem Hintergrund der christlich-islamischen Kontroverse zwischen christlichen Missionaren und islamischen Gelehrten des britisch besetzten Indien ins Leben. Nachdem Mirza Ghulam Ahmad anfänglich nur proklamiert hatte, Offenbarungen von Gott erhalten zu haben, verfestigte sich sein Anspruch bald dahingehend, ein von Gott beauftragter Prophet zu sein, auch wenn er nicht mit einer gesetzgebenden Schrift gesandt sei wie Mose, Jesus oder Muhammad.

(English) Defection from Islam: A Disturbing Human Rights Dilemma

(English) The discussion of human rights flares up when Muslims in an Islamic country convert to Christianity and are threatened with death, as happened a few years ago in Afghanistan and as happens from time to time in other Muslim countries. In the West we immediately regard this as an attack on human rights and a restriction of the freedom of religion, but, in fact, almost all of the Islamic countries signed the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, and they regard their actions as consistent with their understanding of human rights. Obviously we face a huge divergence of opinions on the nature of human rights and what it means to protect them, but what is the source of such fundamentally different ways of thinking?

(English) Is Multiculturalism (Multi-Culti) at an End?

(English) „Multi-culti“ – a catchword we all know. A concept that today is looked at rather critically but, in past decades, was to a large extent a guideline for the shared life of Christians and Muslims in Europe, even if by far not everyone was aware of this premise. Multi-culti – a result of an historical development into which we have stumbled rather than consciously planned and controlled. A development that, in addition, resulted from the false intellectual premises that accompanied the contemplation of the migration of Muslim workers to Germany, as well as from indifference and ignorance.

(English) Revelation and prophethood – Koran and Bible Compared

(English) Whoever reads the Koran from beginning to end will realize that much is said about the “prophets”. They play a key role in the concept of revelation in the Koran – and, of course, for Muhammad and his preaching. The Koran, like the Bible, depicts prophets as mortal humans; however, they have a much more significant role for revelation in the Koran than in the Bible. This is true particularly for Muhammad.
