Summary/Abstract: Around 53 million Muslims live in Europe, of which nearly 4,3 million in “Immigrant Germany”. They are from 50 countrys from the European, Asian and African continent and based on their Islamic teaching they are divided into seven different sections, of which the Sunni make three quarters. It is estimated that between 160 and 180 thousand Bosniaks live in Germany today, mostly organised into smaller jama‘at communities. They are adaptable, open and well integrated into German society. This text discusses the challenges for Muslims from Germany, which have been caused by contemporary movements on the world stage of politics and by new socio-political circumstances in Germany – and the reflections of these challenges on the work of Bosnian and Herzegovinian jama‘ats.
