Mouhanad Khorchide

The scientific advisory board of the Austrian Documentation Center for Political Islam is headed by Khorchide.[1]

2006-2010 he worked at the University of Vienna in the fields of Islamic studies and Islamic pedagogy. Parallel to this, he was Imam of a mosque near Vienna.

In 2010 Khorchide became a professor at the University of Münster in Germany, at the Centre for Islamic Theology (CIT).

The major Muslim associations in Germany reject Khorchide's approach, or at least look at it with much suspicion.[2]
