Muslim Life in Germany - Deutsche Islam Konferenz

324 Summary and conclusion
German (6 per cent). Differences in the command of
language are also apparent between the countries of
origin.
The rate of participation in integration courses among
Muslim migrants is 16 per cent – approximately half as
high as for non-Muslim migrants (30 per cent).
Almost 40 per cent of participants in integration
courses are Muslims. They are less likely to take a final
examination than non-Muslims; only around a third of
Muslim course participants complete the course with
the “Zertifikat Deutsch”. At 91 per cent, the pass rate
among Muslims who take the final exam is almost as
high as that of non-Muslims.
Social and identificational integration
Resources are apparent with regard to social integration.
The frequency of social contact with persons of
German origin is relatively high and Muslims from all
regions of origin show a pronounced willingness to
have more contact with Germans.
One in two Muslims is a member of a German club,
association or organisation. For the most part these are
sports clubs, but membership of trade unions or cultural
associations is also common. Most are members
of a German organisation only. A smaller percentage
are a member of both a German organisation and an
organisation with links to the country of origin, including
organisations founded in Germany.
