In Germany, in a number of schools in the federal state of Bavaria, students can optionally study Islam as a compulsory subject. The local authorities, who essentially adopted the experience of Russia, where the subject “Fundamentals of Religious cultures and Secular ethics " exists in schools, took the initiative.

Parents in Russian schools choose either their child will study one of the world's religions (Islam, Orthodox Christianity, Judaism or Buddhism), or will prefer secular ethics or the study of the basics of world religious cultures. Students in Bavaria will choose to study Islam, religious studies or secular ethics. The knowledge of the world's youngest and fastest-growing religion will be brought to students by ordinary teachers.

The teaching will be conducted in German "in the spirit of the values" of the country's Constitution and local legislation. This is a pilot project, and it will cover just over 5% of schools in Bavaria (this is 350 of the six thousand existing educational institutions in the country).

Later it will be very interesting to know the results of this, so to say, "experiment" and compare it with the Russian indicators.
