EDUCATION vs. INDOCTRINATION

In recent years the concept of indoctrination has almost become synonymous with Islam. Madrasas are described as incubators for violent extremism and as jihadist factories. They are perceived as places where Muslims are indoctrinated in an ideology of intolerance, violence and hatred against the West. The concept of indoctrination is and will be increasingly used, given the current climate of religious resurgence, religious conflicts and inter-religiously motivated terrorism. Thus, indoctrination will continue to occupy a prominent place both in media coverage and in simple everyday conversations. Therefore, we have an intellectual and moral obligation to critically examine and understand this term as precisely as possible, so we can use it accurately in relation to education and Islamic culture and in order to be able to better analyze its consequences.
