How many <strong>Muslim</strong>s live <strong>in</strong> <strong>Germany</strong>? 103<br />

If, with regard to the geographic distribution across the<br />

Federal states, a dist<strong>in</strong>ction is made between <strong>Muslim</strong>s of various<br />

faiths and Alevis, no particular differences emerge. Federal<br />

states with a high share of <strong>Muslim</strong>s also tend to have a high<br />

share of Alevis (figure 17), whereas Federal states <strong>in</strong> which few<br />

<strong>Muslim</strong>s live are also home to relatively few Alevis. Berl<strong>in</strong> is an<br />

exception, with a markedly higher share of Alevis.<br />
