The Emergence of the Father State in Germany

The state-like significance attributed to DİTİB that manages over 900 Turkish-Sunni mosques in Germany has long been a subject of criticism. However, for hundreds of thousands of Turkish-Sunni community members who had migrated to Germany, theses mosques represent a paternalist figure of the father state. But even more so, they serve as a second home.

Abstract

The state-like significance attributed to DİTİB that manages over 900 Turkish-Sunni mosques in Germany has long been a subject of criticism. However, for hundreds of thousands of Turkish-Sunni community members who had migrated to Germany, theses mosques represent a paternalist figure of the father state. But even more so, they serve as a second home.
