23). DİTİB attains the best representative rating among those of
Turkish origin who are aware of its existence. A breakdown here
according to Muslim denominations shows that no less than 46
per cent of Sunnis of Turkish origin who are aware of DİTİB feel
themselves to be fully represented by the association. 32 per
cent consider themselves to be represented to some extent and
23 per cent of Sunnis from Turkey do not feel themselves to be
represented by the association. A third of Muslims from Southeast
Europe consider themselves to be represented by the ZMD,
the IR and the KRM respectively. The share of North African
Muslims who feel themselves to be represented by an association
which they know is very low. Large proportions of Muslims
from Central Asia/CIS and Iran do not consider themselves to be
represented at all by the associations, which they know.
As these results relate only to the fraction of Muslims who
are aware of at least one of the Islamic associations in Germany,
it is now appropriate to calculate how the associations’ degree
of representation is to be rated when all interviewed Muslims
are considered.
