Islamic identity and the Turks in West Germany / Peter Antes -- Islam in Germany and the German Muslims / Klaus Kreiser

Examines the situation of non-Muslims living in Muslim countries of the Middle East & North Africa during the current period of rapid Islamization. It is argued that the decrease in the proportion of non-Muslims is largely the result of intermarriage & international migration, indicating a receptive attitude within non-Muslim communities to the Muslim environment, as well as openness to the outside world within these nations. The history of religious minorities living in Muslim countries of the Middle East & North Africa is traced from pre-Islamic & colonial times to the present, noting various stages of Islamization, factors that interrupted them, & ways in which nation-states provided an institutional & ideological framework that allowed Islamization to resume. Key reasons for emigration to other countries by members of religious minorities are discussed, along with the impact of intermarriage, & the positive but "silent" forces of differing birth/death rates on the religious composition of populations. Future demographic prospects for non-Muslim minorities in Muslim countries of the Middle East & North Africa are assessed. 1 Table. J. Lindroth

Die Autorin beschäftigt sich in ihrem Beitrag mit der religiösen Identität der tatarischen Muslime und zeigt anhand empirischer Daten aus einer repräsentativen Umfrage, dass sich eine kontinuierliche Entwicklung des religiösen Bewusstseins vollzieht. Dieser Prozess findet auf einer pro-aktiven Ebene und einem hohen professionellen Niveau besonders in Tatarstan statt, wo die lokale Verwaltung in der Regel auf die wissenschaftliche Beratung hin reagiert. Die Interaktion zwischen akademischen Forschern und Politikern war auch einer der Hauptgründe, warum Tatarstan, wo der Islam und die Orthodoxie gleichermaßen stark sind, es geschafft haben, frei von interreligiösen und interethnischen Konflikten auch während der schwierigen Zeit der Gründung der russischen Staatlichkeit zu agieren.
