Interview (in German) with Hatem Elliesie on Islam and “parallel societies” in contemporary Germany
In an interview in the Leipzig University magazine, Hatem Elliesie talks about his research into Muslim communities in Germany and public debates about the phenomenon of so-called “parallel societies”. He looks at the conflict-regulation mechanisms within these immigrant communities and how practices of extrajudicial community justice – often referred to as “parallel justice” – and the challenges this presents for the norms of society as a whole. This contribution was extremely well received on the twitter account of the University of Leipzig.
