Spanish Schools Teach Islam


MADRID - Teaching Islam in Spanish schools has finally found its way to implementation after almost a decade of delays and obstacles.

Since coming to power in the European country, Spain's new Socialist government under Jose Rodriguez Zapatero has made a host of good gestures toward the Muslim community in the country, the most remarkable of which was a decision to allow the teaching of Islamic subjects at public schools of major cities with significant Muslim presence.


The Spanish decision stipulates teaching the Islamic subjects in the Spanish schools in a number of Spanish cities that have high Muslim population such as

-Barcelona,
-Madrid &
-Andalusia.

The Spanish official for religious affairs had said Islamic subjects would be taught in a number of major Spanish cities by early January 2005.

Teaching Islamic subjects was only allowed since 2000 in the cities of Ceuta and Melilla in which Muslims of Moroccan origin make up the majority of population.

Ceuta and Melilla are located in northern Morocco under the Spanish control.
