“…Also, it seems that refugees' religiosity is expressed in a more private manner than in their countries of origin (Deutscher Bundestag, 2017, p. 213;Nagel, 2022;Pirner, 2017;Pirner & Bradtke, 2020;Siegert, 2020). Refugees obviously use their religiosity "as a resource for coping with the challenges of migration and integration" (Müssig & Stichs, 2012;Rohde-Abuba & Konz, 2020), but they do so in a mainly non-religious or antireligious cultural context. Based on the quantitative analysis of data from the representative IAB-BAMF-SOEP panel comprising 5,668 refugees who were interviewed in 2017, Siegert (2020, p. 6) found that for 75.4 % of the Muslim respondents and 86.3 % of the Christian respondents their religion was "very important" or "important" for their well-being and satisfaction.…”

This study examines the relationship between religiosity and purpose in life among young Muslim refugees (N = 222; mage = 20.18 years) in Germany, which has been hardly explored in research to date. Consistent with previous research, respondents feel some sense of purpose in life, which is moderate but positive and fostered by religiosity. Regression analysis demonstrated that even after controlling for physical health and social support, religiosity remained a substantial predictor of purpose in life whose effect size does not differ significantly, statistically speaking, from the other two variables in the model. The findings emphasize the importance of religiosity and social support for the well-being of young Muslim refugees.

“…Some survey studies show that more religious Muslims have less contacts with natives (Maliepaard and Phalet 2012 ; Phalet et al. 2008 ; Van Tubergen 2007 ), but others find no significant associations between Muslim immigrants’ religiosity and their interethnic contacts (Fleischmann and Phalet 2012 ; Güveli and Platt 2011 ; Müssig and Stichs 2012 ; Maliepaard and Schacht 2018 ). Regarding participation in voluntary or civic organisations, another common operationalisation of social integration, positive correlations with religiosity were found among Turkish and Moroccan Muslims in the Netherlands (Fleischmann et al.…”

This contribution to the special issue on religion and migration reviews two decades of large-scale survey research on changes in immigrant religion and the relationship between immigrants’ level of religiosity and their integration into European societies. The body of work reveals that Muslims in European societies stand out due to their comparatively high levels of religiosity and greater stability in religiosity over time and across immigrant generations. While the comparative picture is rather clear, findings regarding the long-term trend in Muslims’ religiosity and its association with immigrant integration are instead inconclusive. A systematic review of empirical studies of the association of (various indicators of) individual religiosity with immigrant integration reveals positive, negative and non-significant results for all outcomes and domains. Thus, based on the current state of art it is hard to assess whether and why religion forms a bridge or barrier to immigrant integration in Europe. To move the field forward, the contribution ends with a twofold proposal for a research agenda that includes a broadened empirical scope, moving beyond the focus on Sunni Muslims, and a conceptual extension that focuses on differences in reasoning about religion and religious meaning-making as additional, potentially more consistent and more powerful explanation for immigrants’ social relations and positions in their new societies

“…Ob dies auf eine integrationshemmende Wirkung des Islams zurückzuführen ist, bleibt jedoch fraglich. Während sich in einigen Studien durchaus Effekte der Religiosität zeigen ließen (Haug 2005;Müssig & Stichs 2012;Carol 2013), führen andere Autoren die Gruppenunterschiede überwiegend auf soziodemographische und migrationsbiographische Variationen zwischen den Herkunftsgruppen zurück (Schacht et al 2014).…”

Zusammenfassung: In der Debatte um die Integration von Migranten in Deutschland ist die Bedeutung von Religion zunehmend in den Fokus der Aufmerksamkeit gerückt. Der Artikel geht daher der Frage nach, inwieweit Religion den Aufbau interethnischer Beziehungen unter aktuellen Einwanderern aus Polen und der Türkei in der frühen Phase nach der Ankunft in Deutschland beeinflusst. Hierzu werden Panel-Daten der SCIP-Erhebung zu Neuzuwanderern ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Religion zumindest in den ersten Jahren in Deutschland für keine der beiden Einwanderergruppen einen entscheidenden Faktor für den Aufbau interethnischer Beziehungen darstellt. Entgegen populä-ren Debatten zur integrationshemmenden Wirkung des Islams lassen sich zudem hinsichtlich des Ausmaßes von Kontakten zu Deutschen keine Nachteile der muslimischen Türken im Vergleich zu den katholischen Polen feststellen.Schlagworte: Interethnische Kontakte; Religion; SCIP; Neuzuwanderer; Soziale Integration.Summary: During the last decade religion has received extensive attention as a factor which shape integration processes among immigrants in Germany. In this regard, this paper examines the role of religion in the acquisition of interethnic ties among recent immigrants from Poland and Turkey at a very early stage after arrival. To this end, panel data from the European New-Immigrant-Survey "SCIP" is used. For both groups the results reveal that at least during the first years in Germany religion does not affect the acquisition of interethnic ties in the least. Contrary to the common assumption that Islam, in particular, acts as a barrier to the inclusion of immigrants in Western Europe there is no evidence of any disadvantages to Turkish Muslims in comparison to Polish Catholics in the formation of interethnic ties.
