Attitudes of Syrian and Iraqi Refugees in Germany Toward Jews¹ Günther Jikeli Attitudes of Syrian and Iraqi Refugees in Germany toward Jews¹ Antisemitism is on theriseagain in twenty-first centuryGermany.Jewsfeelin- creasingly threatened.² Antisemitism is notlimited to certainindividualsocial groups.Itisfound on both theleftand rightwings of thepolitical spectrum,as well as in themainstream. Immigrantsare also said to hold antisemiticsenti- ments. However, antisemitism is aproblem in Germany, even withouttakingim- migration or thelarge numbersofnewly arrivedrefugeesinto account. As arela- tively large proportion of theserefugeescomes from countries wherehatredof Jews is apartofofficialgovernmentpropagandaand education, thequestions arisewhether theincreased levels of immigration arealsoleadingtoanincreased risk of antisemitism,and if so,whatcan be done to counterthisdevelopment. Refugeeattitudes are also relevant regarding the question of integration. What “integration” actuallymeans and how far the German public and the ref- ugees will movetowardone another remains to be seen. When interactingat school, in the workplace, in public, in the media, or in the political sphere, im- migrant populations seeking integration will not onlyencounter the immediate challenges of learning the languageand obtaining professional qualifications; over the long term, attitudes towarddemocracy,gender roles,religion, minori- ties, and because of Germany’shistory,towardJews and Israel in particular, will playasignificant role in the process of integration. Amajor review of inte- gration practices of refugees in seven European countries stresses the “impor- tance of introducing asylum seekers to coreEuropean values, includinggender An earlier and substantiallylongerversion of this essaywas published in German in De- cember 2017 in G.

The research was supported by the Bennett Fund and the Meyer Fund. Aseries of interviews conducted by the University of Bielefeld at the request of the German Parliament’sIndependent Circle of Experts on Antisemitism in Mayand June 2016 showed that 37 %ofJews interviewed wereworried about possible assaults and 58%avoided certain pla- cesorparts of the city duetosecurity concerns. Seventy percent wear no visible Jewish symbols out of fear;see A. Zick et al., Jüdische Perspektiven auf Antisemitismus in Deutschland.

These debates have been basedmostlyonanecdotal evidence, and they often do not take into account the diversity of different groups of refugees and the fact that manyofthem have become victims of Islamism, sexism, religious intoler- ance, and racism themselves, bothfrom the indigenous population and from other migrants. However,such attitudes—Islamism, sexism, and antisemitism —prevail in manyofthe refugees’ home countries.⁴ Do refugees hold views similar to thoseofthe majorities in their home coun- tries?Ifso, are they prepared to changethese views, or have they already changed them as aresultoftheir new social,legal, and economic environ- European Foundation for Democracy, ed., RefugeesinEurope.

Poll results show high levels of appreciation for anumber of anti-democratic attitudes and outlooks that arecritical of the rule of law, in particular in predominantlyMuslim countries. At the end of 2011/beginningof2012,honor killings of women were viewed as possiblyjustified by 71 %inIraqand 74 %inAfghanistan. Thirty-two percent and 34%ofthe Iraqi and the Afghan populationsrespectively denied women the right to decide for themselveswhethertoweara headscarf. Fifty-five percent and 75 %ofthe Iraqi and the Afghan populationsrespectively are convinced that the lifestyles of most compatriots reflect the Hadith and Sunnah (canonical tales of the life of Mohammed), with correspondingapproval rates for the statement, “The Sharia is the revelation of the wordofGod” (69% in Iraq and 73 %inAfghanistan).Consequently, a large majority in both countries stated that sons should inherit morethan daughters.Seventy- seven percentofthose polled in Iraq agreed that awife should not have the right to divorce, and 53%completely agreed with the statement that awoman should always have to comply with her husband; afurther 39%overwhelminglyagreed. Approval ratesinAfghanistan were even higher.Homosexuality was considered morallywrong by 77%ofIraqis. Forty-one percent in Iraq and 79%inAfghanistan favored the death penalty for leavingIslam.

Attitudes of Syrian and Iraqi RefugeesinGermany towardJews 241 ments?⁵ Instead of generalization and speculation, acloser look and empirical research are called for. Almost 1.5million people applied for asylum in Germanybetween the begin- ning of 2014 and July 2017.All applicants have their own story, which varies con- siderably depending on the country of origin among otherfactors.Most appli- cants come from Syria (34%), Afghanistan (12 %), and Iraq (10 %).⁶ Of the Syrianrefugees, 29%identify as Kurds, and 91.5% have aMuslim background.⁷ Syriannationals are currentlythe third-largest group of foreign nationals in Ger- many, preceded by Turkish and Polish nationals.⁸ With wars and unrest in many of these countries ongoing,with entire towns and parts of major cities destroyed, prospects for abetter life in Germanyremain. Thus, it is likelythat alarge num- ber of refugees, perhaps the majority,will stayinGermanyfor the foreseeable fu- ture. Taking stock of the situation at hand is crucial for developing effective pri- vateorstate-funded programs for successful integration. Initial steps have al- readybeen taken, bothbyrefugees themselvesand by local populations and au- thorities, with aremarkable number of Germanvolunteers providingsupport to refugeearrivals.The GermanFederal Agency for Employment (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) has developedaprogram for assessing the professional qualifications Bassam Tibi has devoted abook of 460 pagestothis question, which calls for areform and EuropeanizationofIslam, as wellfor critical engagement with authoritarian modes of thought; see B.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • What Is It Like to Be an Immigrant Teacher in the Us Schools?
    WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE AN IMMIGRANT TEACHER IN THE U.S. SCHOOLS? THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE AND THEIR STRENGTHS By JEEHAE LEE (Under the Direction of KyungHwa Lee) ABSTRACT In spite of the increasing need for more teachers from similar cultural and linguistic backgrounds with English Language Learners in the U.S. schools, there has been little research on the experiences of immigrant teachers. Moreover, the majority of existing research studies of immigrant teachers were conducted outside the United States such as Australia, Canada, Great Britain, and Israel. Compared to these other countries, however, the United States has not been active in producing research on immigrant teachers and exploring the implications of this line of research for the field of teacher education. The purpose of this study is to examine the lived experiences of three multilingual and multicultural immigrant teachers as they work as certified teachers in the U.S. public schools. A phenomenological research methodology was used as a philosophical approach for this dissertation study. Phenomenology studies these experiences as experienced from the first person point of view. Phenomenological interviews, initial bridling statement and bridling journal entries were used for data collection of the study. For data analysis, the whole-part-whole analysis was used. This study found that the immigrant teachers experienced sociocultural challenges due to the cultural differences, prejudices, and their lack of cultural capital of the host society. The immigrant teachers coped with their challenges using educational resources (e.g., professional learning), religion, social networks, and personal dispositions (e.g., dealing with angry parents, conflicts with colleagues, and the lack of instructional support).

    ICOA1808: THE SYRIAN HERITAGE ARCHIVE PROJECT IN BERLIN Subtheme 03: Protecting and Interpreting Cultural Heritage in the Age of Digital Empowerment Session 2: Use of Digital Technology for Dissemination and Interpretation Location: Silver Oak 2, India Habitat Centre Time: December 13, 2017, 16:30 – 16:45 Author: Eva Nmeir Eva Nmeir is an art historian specialising in Islamic art, architecture and archaeology working with the Syrian Heritage Archive Project in Berlin and a freelance art educator with the Berlin State Museums Abstract: The Syrian Heritage Archive Project (SHAP) started in 2013 as a digitizing project of the collections of materials from renowned German scientific researchers. The project was located at both the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and the Museum of Islamic Art (SMB) in Berlin, financed by the German Foreign Office, currently for the 5th project stage. The project group at the Museum of Islamic Art consists of a multidisciplinary team of different professionals of mostly Syrian and of German background. In addition to the basic database work, over the course of several years of dialogue and discussion within the core team, the emphasis has also been brought to other crucial focus points related to the material culture of Syria. In 2015, with a growing number of Syrians reaching Germany, the idea for the Multaka Project came up - an award-winning art education project enabling young Syrians guiding refugees through the collections of Berlin museums. In 2016, due to the worsening devastations caused by the ongoing Syrian war, an affiliated damage assessment project with regard to the historic monuments of Aleppo evolved, which, among others, develops a special app for professionals on spot.
