Personal life and studies
The scientific advisory board of the Austrian Documentation Center for Political Islam is headed by Khorchide.[1]
2006-2010 he worked at the University of Vienna in the fields of Islamic studies and Islamic pedagogy. Parallel to this, he was Imam of a mosque near Vienna.

The major Muslim associations in Germany reject Khorchide's approach, or at least look at it with much suspicion.[2]
