How did the Experience of Crisis Change the Life and Functioning of our Religious Communities and how can we make them as well as our dialogue sustainable? What should we give up and what can we learn with and from each other?

Kübra Böler

Kübra Böler was born 1993 in Rendsburg, a town in Northern Germany. She is a religious scholar, presently doing her Masters in Religious Studies within the Academy of World Religions at the University of Hamburg on ‘Religions, Dialogue and Education.’ She has been writing poetry passionately for the last ten years and coordinates a project ‘KursivDenker’ which invites youth and young people to develop their personality through creative means. They’re planning to publish a magazine this coming year.

​Nobody would have thought that we would be confronted with a pandemic for the greater part of 2020. Many of us had great plans for the year, and so did I. The Master’s degree study course, new possibility for jobs and the development and unfolding of my personality. Well, one must have dreams.
Then it was suddenly quite close - the Corona Virus. From an epidemic to a pandemic. Suddenly everybody had to stay home. Already after the last JCM in February, I had started to use only the car for transport. Then, I still had my fear under control.

Solidarity and Dissent

by Dr. Jabal Buaben
Muslim Lecture Part II 2015

‘Arguably, the most dangerous disease which now afflicts the Muslim Ummah is the disease of disagreement and discord. This disease has become all-pervasive and affects every area, town and society. Its appalling influence has penetrated into ideas and beliefs, morality and behavior, and ways of speaking and interacting. It has affected both short and long-term goals and objectives. Like a specter, it finally envelops people´s souls. It poisons the atmosphere and leaves hearts sterile and desolate. Multitudes of people are left contending  with one another, and the impression is given that all the Islamic teachings , commands and prohibitions at the disposal of the Ummah are there only to spur people on to discord and make them revel in internecine strife.’

Muslim Lecture Part I 2015

This is not exactly a subject that I find easy, but I was "volunteered" to give an input today. Just as well - perhaps it is time to take account after some recent changes in my life: for a number of reasons I gave up my work in the Muslim community that I had done for the past twenty years and I am now more involved in interfaith work and teaching.

Reflections of JCM

Humera Khan
It is easy to reflect on my experiences at JCM because the person I was on my first encounter has benefited and contributed so much to the person I am today. My first participation at the conference was by chance in 1987. There was a spare place going and I was asked to come along. It was a period in my life when I had just got involved in activism within the Muslim community, in particular setting up a women’s managed organisation, An-Nisa Society. We were passionate and confrontational, had a lot to say and were not afraid to say it and most importantly we wanted to change the world.

What JCM has meant for me

Dr Jabal Buaben
My first encounter at the JCM was in 1985, as a ‘young’ Muslim Research Student at the Centre for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations [CSIC], University of Birmingham. I arrived in Birmingham in 1983 to start an MA Programme in Islamic Studies and the CSIC. Being one of the original partners in the JCM experiment, the Centre used to encourage Research Students to attend the JCM Conference as part of their over-all training. At that time, the Conference was popularly known as the ‘Bendorf Conference’ since it was held in Bendorf-am-Rheine

The JCM and its Consequences in my Life

by Halima Krausen

During the past decades, I have seen many bilateral and multilateral dialogue initiatives emerging all over Europe. They offer conferences, series of lectures, study circles, training programmes, or publications on various levels. But it is especially the thought of the JCM that leaves me with a warm feeling of a home that I grew up in and where I acquired some of the knowledge and confidence that I work with today.

    Authors - Autoren

    All our speakers and contributors are past participants of JCM. They are asked to focus on their personal views on the topic. The idea is not to give a purely academic presentation but rather present a personal reflection.

    Alle unsere Referenten und Autoren waren selbst mal JCM Teilnehmer. Sie werden gebeten, sich auf die persönliche Sichtweise zu konzentrieren. Es handelt sich nicht um akademische Abhandlungen sondern soll das persönliche Hervorheben.
