Qur’an in my head
"No other movement or ideology today is so attractive for young people as
Islam", caims 21year old Barino. Since 5 years he is visiting an Arab mosque in Cologne. He was drawn to Islamic faith by the welcoming people and the search of spirituality he was lacking in his German environment. Since then he is studying closely the Qur’an sura by sura.
“Who ever changes just one verse, one word or letter of Qur’an automatically is no more Moslem.” Explains Khaled, a young German of Moroccan origin, during his sermon in the mosque, Barino is visiting.
Khaled represents a new generation of devoted Moslems in the western world who desire to live strictly the way Mohammed did.
The film deals with a young Islamic movement in the western world. Young people who believe in the Qur’an and – different to their father’s generation study it closely.
During his studies Barino discovers the call for “Holy war”, the call to fight against and possibly kill the disbelievers, the Jews and Christians. He feels, that as a good Muslim he would have to follow these controversial verses of Qur’an too.
Khaled however points out, that the verses on fighting are only valid during times of war. “But we’re not in a war. Thank God!”
