Is Islam a part of Germany? And if so since when has this been the case? What is everyday
life like for Muslims living here? What form does social coexistence take? In Moin und Salam
the photojournalist Julius Matuschik together with the political and religious studies scholar
Raida Chbib explores these issues among others yet they refrain from proffering any
one-dimensional answers or conclusive evaluations. Through impressive historical images
true-to-life photographs and texts on the history and contemporary status of Islam in Germany
this volume guides the reader through historical traces and stories from the past to the
present day. The illustrated book is an invitation to the reader to discover the diversity and
the vibrant spectrum of Muslim life in Germany through its carefully researched written and
visual portrayals.
