Muslim Life in Germany - Deutsche Islam Konferenz

Summary and conclusion 317
that they are represented by the association in question
is applied to the total group of Muslims, including
those who do not know the association in question,
the proportions represented are as follows: DITB 16 per
cent, VIKZ 7 per cent, AABF 4 per cent, ZMD 3 per cent,
IR 2 per cent and KRM 2 per cent.
With regard to whether the feeling of being represented
by the associations depends on the country of
origin, DiTiB has a clear orientation towards the country
of origin with 23 per cent of Muslims of Turkish origin
feeling that they are represented by it. If only those
Turkish Muslims are considered who know DiTiB then
the figure is 42 per cent.
If only the actual target group of Alevis is considered
for the AABF, the results show that 76 per cent of people
are familiar with this organisation. Of the people
who know it, 29 per cent feel represented by AABF.
With reference to the total group of Alevis this figure is
19 per cent.

more Muslim school children and children belonging
to different religions attend ethics/LER classes
and a considerable proportion attend Christian religious
instruction. However, the majority of Christian
school children attend Christian religious instruction
