Abstract

The article discusses controversy aroused by Muhammad Sven Kalish, who was hired as the first Islamic theology professor at Munster University in Germany. His own research has lead him to conclude that the prophet Muhammad probably never existed, an assertion not embraced by many Muslims. The university has retained Kalish but told him he cannot teach Islam anymore.
