Bekir Alta\u015f, secretary general of the Islamic Association of Mill\u00ee G\u00f6r\u00fcs had words of praise for the judges of the Federal Constitutional Court: \u201cThe trust of Muslims in the constitutional state had time and again been put to the test by judges whose sentences were heavily influenced by political discourse. Good to know there are still instances that act in compliance with the law. <\/p>\n
On January 19th, 2021, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the Wiesbaden administrative court and the Higher Administrative Court of Hesse had infringed the rights of Islamic religious communities concerning Islamic religious education in an \u201cuntenable manner\u201d. The case must be re-tried. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Federal Constitutional Court\u2019s ruling raises hopes of a necessary correction of the Hesse government\u2019s decision to organize Islamic religious education in public schools without involving the Islamic religious communities\u201d, said Alta\u015f. <\/p>\n
The government coalition of the conservative CDU and the Green Party violated the entitlement of Muslim students to
\nreligious education Alta\u015f said. \u201cThe State cannot and may not interfere in questions of religious education. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n
Islamic religious communities were denied interim legal protection by the Hessian courts showed the influence of political discourse on legal rulings, Alta\u015f continued. \u201cThe Federal Constitutional Court\u2019s reprimand could not have been clearer. In their verdict, the judges criticize an \u2018incomprehensible interpretation\u2019 as well as an \u2018unacceptable\u2019 infringement of the plaintiff\u2019s legal protection.<\/p>\n
It is our hope that Hessian judges use their second chance to give a ruling which is in line with the law rather than political discourse. Otherwise they would jeopardize the trust of Muslims in the constitutional state.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
