During the last decade, the pedagogical prevention of violent and antidemocratic Islamism has developed as a new field of work. It contains measures of social work, civic education and sometimes elements of religious education. The religious dimension in particular is one of the main differences to more established areas of work like the prevention of right-wing extremism. Based on empirical cases, this paper pursues the question: in what way is religion a relevant dimension in preventing Islamist radicalization in Germany, and which challenges arise from it?
