Abstract
The monograph is devoted to Germans who embraced Islam. The reason of becoming Muslims is associated with different factors: disappointment with society, unhappy love, failures in creating a family, crises and calamities in life, losing values, seeking a truth. The book also covers life of Muslim immigrants of the 2nd-3rd generations who are born in Germany. Many of these people lead a European lifestyle, but there are others who try to preserve a traditional lifestyle that is common for a country their parents come from. A special attention is payed to constructing a religious identity of German Muslims and new religious practices they transferred from Christianity into Islam. The author brings about new scientific terms like “post conversional syndrome” etc.
