Check Recognition Kai Ali Rashid and his wife Katrin Aisha Lihr
Middle-class German-yack Islamic learning. Straddling the global war on terrorism.
"Angst-Ridden Germany Looking for Answers and Finding in the Koran." Thus great titles at Del Spiegel, a leading daily in Germany, edition of January 18, 2007. The author, Lutz Ackermann, start by telling gallant man named Kai Luhr.
With jeans and a gray jacket branded, clean-faced man without a mustache and beard is entering the gates of the Berlin Mosque. Ackermann thinks he wrote it with the phrase "the German public would expect" Luhr is the messenger of the church to attend inter-faith dialogue which is often held in the mosque.
But, whoops, she's wrong. Luhr raced off his jacket, and took water wudlu. He drew himself with rows of prayer - in the next Middle Eastern-looking man with a beard and white robes.
In a note Ackermann, Luhr perform 33 movements in worship that day. "The language is very fluent Arabic as a prayer," he wrote. He only say one sentence in German, "God hear who begged him, grant my prayer, my Lord."
Kai Luhr is a doctor. He and his wife become Muslims since two and a half years ago. Along with syahadatnya statement, he changed his name to Kai Ali Rashid and his wife Katrin Aisha Lihr.
The man is 43 years following the usual religious activities in a mosque in Frechen, near Cologne. That is where he pledged Islam as his new religion. Together with him, a former German national boxer and an engineer were also bersyahadat.
When being followed Del Spiegel, Luhr after Friday prayer and other sunnah prayers before. "You will find that many German-born Muslims in several mosques in Berlin on this day," said Luhr.
Luhr big in the tradition of a strict Christian. But he was lucky, the family who baptized him when he was a child it is a democratic family. "No problem I embrace this religion," she said.
For him, Islam is a religion that really new. When small to a teenager, he was great in the middle-class neighborhood in Berlin, claimed to have never known or even heard of a religion called Islam.
Islam is the first intersection with the time he entered university to study medicine. Several lectures fellow Muslim. But he has not moved at that time studying Islam.
After college, she opened her practice naturopathic medicine specializing in the same university. When income is a good start, he married his girlfriend, Katrin, a professional dancers.
Until one day, both partners are experiencing discomfort in his life. The incident started when one day come of patients in critical condition to the practice room, from falling when the erection of a pillar. "Suddenly there was emptiness and despair in our lives," he said.
He and his wife decided to return to his religion which had long left behind, Christian. In fact, this pair also studied Buddhism and the Dalai Lama's teachings. But he never found the answer to anxiety.
Need to be different
According to the report Ackermann, a convert inner penjalanan process in Germany is generally the same: they are Christians, who found confusion about religion. After looking at a lot of confidence, their heart is tied with Islam.
"There are some courses that make adherents even so unsure of the truth of that teaching," said Mohammed Herzog, a Berlin imam at the mosque formerly was a pastor. He himself had experienced the impasse of thought, until he found Islam in 1979.
He acknowledged, the number of converts in Germany is now doubled. A decade ago, the number of new converts in the Mosque of Berlin's most only 10 people per year. "Now that number more than doubled," said Herzog. Part of the new adherents of Islam are people like Luhr, and some are atheists.
