Goethe University Launches Islamic Studies Major; Islamic Program in Frankfurt Is First in Germany

Frankfurt's Goethe University has introduced a three-year bachelor's degree in Islamic studies -- the first such program in Germany -- the Deutsche Welle website reports today (January 7, 2011).

The program places Islamic theology on the same footing as Christian and Jewish theology at German universities.

Over 100 students have already signed up for the first semester of the program.

Germany is home to an estimated four million Muslims.
