Do Muslims in Germany Really Fail to Integrate? Muslim Integration and Trust in Public Institutions. Doerschler, P. & Irving Jackson, P. Journal of International Migration and Integration, 13(4):503-523, 2012. (ALLBUS)
abstract   bibtex   
"Multivariate analysis of 2008 data from the German Social Survey (ALLBUS) provides firm evidence on the basis of one important dimension of political integration - individuals' trust in the political system - that Muslims are integrating well into German society. The results are significant despite controls for multiple indicators of respondents' social capital, socioeconomic status, post-material views, ideological position, partisan support for parties in power, assessment of government performance, interest in politics, and amount of television viewing. Furthermore, Muslims' level of religiosity does not influence their level of political trust. The findings raise new questions about integration in that the significantly lower levels of political trust found among non-Muslims may negatively affect their views of government and its efforts to respond to Germany's Muslim population. Skepticism and distrust of government by non-Muslim ethnic Germans may undermine important programs designed to bridge the actual value and cultural differences which remain the source of the ignorance that fuels prejudice and discrimination."Als Datengrundlage dient der ALLBUS 2008.
