Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the content of the Islamic elementary school textbooks in the context of discourse about "the others': The purpose of these textbooks is to educate children in accordance with Islamic values, religious practice and social application of religion. These textbooks do not contain a serious consideration of the religious phenomena itself or the historic overview of development of the religious idea. Only certain aspects of monotheistic religions (Judaism and Christianity) are studied, in the context of historic development of Islamic teaching and the historic periods as set out by the Qur' an, while studying "the others" is fragmentary and casual. There is no systematic and sufficient overview of the beliefs, religious practice, culture or identity of "the others".
