Description

When it comes to topics such as "Salafism" or "Islamism", there are often misunderstandings. Because unclear concepts and the lack of delimitation in their use are often irritating. For example, the question arises: What does Islam have to do with Islamism?
Videos of the German Federal Center for Political Education give explanations, in which many young YouTubers have contributed. This is an easy to use tool for communicating basic information in an animated way.
