Muslim Life in Germany - Deutsche Islam Konferenz

Aspects of Integration 237
An inability to write German is prevalent above all among
women from Turkey who belong to other religions (13 per cent)
and such women of the Muslim faith (8 per cent). The corresponding
shares in all other groups are below 5 per cent (women
from Southeast Europe who belong to other religions 4 per
cent, Muslim women from Southeast Europe 1 per cent, Muslim
women from South/Southeast Asia 2 per cent and women from
Iran 3 per cent).
5.1.3.5 Differences between Muslim men and women
A consideration of language proficiency among Muslims
according to gender does not reveal any clear disadvantage
for Muslim women. While women do show poorer results than
men in the category “good” or “very good” in all language areas,
the differences here are once again so marginal that they
cannot be interpreted as indicating a significant difference between
the sexes (table 41).
