Amjad Hussain (Lampeter University) addressed “Islam: Why Is There
a Need To Study It in Higher Education?” He drew on the position of
Muslims in mainstream education, positing that only 3 percent of Muslims go
to faith schools, meaning that the vast majority of their ideas about the world
are shaped through educational systems not embedded within the community. The complementarity of Christian seminaries or Jewish colleges with
academic departments in higher education have few parallels in the Muslim
context. Islam in higher education and the active participation of Muslims in
it creates a class of scholars and potential educators who will be better able
to teach Islam to children than imams trained at Muslim seminaries that are
unconnected to universities. Furthermore, Islam in higher education is born within a United Kingdom experience of religion, while imams are often
linked to cultural forms of Islam and disconnected from young Muslims.
