In addition, he is Islam scholar and among other members of the company for Arab and Islamic law e.V.. In the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Tape Religion in public space he wrote the article about Islamic legal negative. A contribution that already mentioned in the face of the lasting discussions "Peacage" of some interest is.
Mr. Rohe, you write, "Phenomena of an alleged ‘Sharia parallel justice’ are actually as largely ethnically cultural, so not religious-legally oriented mechanisms under the involvement of Kurdish coarse clans, are in addition to the few documents." – You can get that a bit?
Mathias Rohe: That’s complex: we know there are problems with parallel structures, but we do not know how gross these problems are. We have nothing quantifiable. Why not?
Mathias Rohe: Because we do not have research about it. We try it, I’m on appropriate research, but we basically have anecdo knowledge of some fall, but we just do not know anymore. How could you explore the?
Mathias Rohe: By empirical field research, and there we are just there. Above all, I am particularly important to me: this is not an Islam theme! Islam can be a topic here. But it’s about population groups relatively isolated, culturally segregated, life – and the people can be of different ethnic origin and religious background. How do you know that??
Mathias Rohe: We know that through a working group of the Bavarian Ministry of Justice I have led to these topics. There we simply have information from various social institutions, migrant organizations – also carried together by Muslim side, prosecutors and other institutions. And that’s the important thing about the matter. From my point of view, we have to think about simple and moving: Where do the problems begin?
