Muslim Life in Germany - Deutsche Islam Konferenz

Aspects of Integration 283
regions of origin are also considered, it emerges that there
are barely any differences between Muslims and members of
other religions among Southeast Europeans, Iranians and sub-
Saharan Africans (figure 82). There is a more pronounced tendency
for interviewees with a migrant background from Turkey,
South/Southeast Asia and the Middle East to live in ethnically
segregated residential areas. In the case of immigrants from
Central Asia/CIS, this tendency applies to the group of persons
belonging to other religions. In view of the small number of
cases covered for the Muslims belonging to this group, this latter
result should not be over-interpreted, however.
