Review
This is an unusually perfect doctoral thesis in organisational sociology, by a German sociologist attached to the Institute for Securing Peace and Humanitarian International Law (IFHV) at Ruhr – University in Bochum (North-Rhine-Westfalia). At the beginning of the 20th century, Germany became the second most important country with regard to immigration after the USA (p. 112). 45% of the Muslims immigrants to this country, altogether four million, are German citizens by now and frequent the 2342 mosques currently existing in Germany.
