In seiner Geschichte hat der Islam in kultureller Hinsicht Meilensteine gesetzt. Dennoch hat er – nicht nur durch den „Islamischen Staat“ – ein schlechtes Image in westlichen Ländern. Dies gründet u.a. darin, dass nur wenige Menschen, nicht-muslimischer Zugehörigkeit über ein ausreichendes Wissen über den Islam verfügen. Halbwissen und Vorurteile prägen häufig das Bild vom Islam.

In seiner Geschichte hat der Islam in kultureller Hinsicht Meilensteine gesetzt. Dennoch hat er – nicht nur durch den „Islamischen Staat“ – ein schlechtes Image in westlichen Ländern. Dies gründet u.a. darin, dass nur wenige Menschen, nicht-muslimischer Zugehörigkeit über ein ausreichendes Wissen über den Islam verfügen. Halbwissen und Vorurteile prägen häufig das Bild vom Islam.

Deshalb bietet das MOOC ein Grundwissen über den Islam an. Dabei wird ein möglichst realistisches Bild dieser Religion gezeichnet. So kommen in den Lernvideos auch Muslime und Muslima zu den Themen „Frauen im Islam“ und „Die Sondergemeinschaft der Ahmediyyas im Islam“ selbst zu Wort. Aktuelle Themen wie „Friedenspotentiale im Islam, „Stellung von Nicht-Muslimen im Islam/Religiöse Toleranz im Islam“, „Islam und Säkularisierung“ runden das Bild ab.
