The appeal of contemporary radical interpretations for young Muslim women and men poses a new challenge to Islamic theology and education. While attention has been given to the radicalization of young men, Muslim women remain marginalized within academic research. This article discusses gender-sensitive issues concerning radicalization. Based on the results of a pretest-study that inquires the success of ISIS regarding the recruiting of young women, aspects of universalism are approached, as constructions of gender, religion and education are discussed. Here, reconstructions of Islam between ideological, systematic and functional references of religion are taken into account.
Zusammenfassung: Die Radikalisierung islamischer Jugendlicher ist eine zentrale Herausforderung religiöser Erziehung und Bildung. Daher müssen vielfältige religionspädagogische Maßnahmen entwickelt werden, um Kinder und Jugendliche so zu stärken, dass sie nicht den Heilsversprechen radikaler Islamisten folgen. Gleichzeitig steht die postmigrantische Gesellschaft aber auch vor der Aufgabe, alle Kinder und Jugendlichen im schulischen Kontext zu integrieren.
