Title The Integration of Muslim Minorities: Comparative Analysis of Germany and France
Summary The present comparative case study explores the issues of Muslim minorities’ integration into German and French societies. Having assessed two approaches to integration – assimilation and multiculturalism, I suggest that cultural pluralism does not necessarily lead to a social marginalization of immigrants. On the contrary, based on the recognition of a diverse ethnic communities and promotion of tolerance, multicultural approach to integration seems to be more successful in maintaining the principles of cultural, religious and lingual equality. The study is based on personal interviews of Turkish and Algerian minorities, who represent the second generation of immigrants, as well as on the analysis of media sources. By analyzing the success/failures of the religious and linguistic integration, the research will identify to what extent the differences in integration models lead to different outcomes.
