Summary/Abstract: The paper looks on the discursive struggle between different proponents of Islamic religious practice and their distinctive model of integration put forward. When associated with the ‘indigenous’, the presence of the immigrants and their specific understanding of religious practice can bring to the fore internal tensions of an ethnic community and force its members to redefine their ethnic allegiances, or establish different degrees or kinds of ethnic, regional or religious ‘cultural content’. The paper describes two models of integration and identities prescribed by these models.
