Mehr Forschung über Islamismus und Antisemitismus

Internationale Fachtagung zum Thema „Islamism in Germany and Europe. Research Trends, Blank Spots and Political Relevance”

Die Bilder von feiernden Hamas-Unterstützern in den Straßen Berlins und anderswo in Europa und der westlichen Welt schockieren und beschämen. Wie ist die Zustimmung zu dem progrom-artigen Überfall der radikalislamischen Hamas auf israelische Zivilisten in Deutschland und anderswo zu erklären? Wieso wissen wir so wenig über die Unterstützerstrukturen internationaler islamistischer Terrororganisationen in Deutschland und Europa? Welche Möglichkeiten haben Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik in der Auseinandersetzung mit den unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen des Islamismus? Vier Tage nach dem barbarischen Überfall auf Israel trafen sich führende Expertinnen und Experten für Islamismus und religiös begründeten Extremismus aus Deutschland und Europa in der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung um über diese Fragen zu diskutieren.
