Abstract

[Morocco and Turkey began sending small groups of religious personnel abroad at the beginning of the 1970s to provide Islamic services for their citizens in foreign countries. Nevertheless, religious issues were initially considered of marginal importance as economic and security interests guided both states’ promotion of international labour migration. This perspective would change over time as conflicts between contestatory Islamic currents and home state authorities were exported into the diaspora and state officials came to recognize the effectiveness of Islam as a means of influencing communities abroad. This chapter argues that Turkish and Moroccan religious diaspora policy underwent a lengthy learning curve before consolidating the position both home states occupy in the French and German Muslim fields today.]
