How has the religious landscape of Germany been affected by the Turkish community?

The Turkish community has had a significant impact on the religious landscape of Germany, particularly in terms of Islam. Islam is the largest non-Christian religion in Germany, and the majority of Muslims in Germany are of Turkish origin.

After World War II, there was a large influx of Turkish guest workers to Germany to help rebuild the country's economy. Many of these workers settled in Germany and established mosques and Islamic centers.

Today, there are over 2,000 mosques in Germany, and many of them are operated by the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), an organization with close ties to the Turkish government. The influence of Turkish Islam on the religious landscape of Germany has been a subject of debate and controversy in recent years.

In addition to Islam, the Turkish community in Germany has also brought other religious traditions, such as Alevism and Sufism, which have had a smaller but still significant impact on the religious diversity of Germany.
