Abstract
Which religious rights can be granted to Muslim migrants? This question has been at the center of the public debate in many countries including Germany. The most contested issues in Western Europe are headscarves (for teachers) and minarets. German federal states differed in their positions towards religious symbols in public institutions. Yet, little is known about the extent to which these policies are reflected in attitudes. Using the original EURISLAM dataset, this study fills this gap. Tentative evidence is shown for attitudes of natives towards Christian religious symbols, which vary across federal states. With regard to the headscarf for teachers, however, attitudes of natives and migrants do not correspond to the actual policies. For natives, institutional effects emanate from local mosques under control of other factors. The closer natives live to mosques, the more positive their attitudes towards minarets. Moreover, religiosity is linked to more liberal attitudes towards religious rights for out-groups.
