Some academics assert that migrants embrace the lifestyles and values of host societies across generations, whereas others claim they find reassurance in a familiar religion in the unfamiliar environment (Alba 2005; Hagan 2006; Hagan and Ebaugh 2003). For example, some say the discriminatory and exclusionary environment of European countries increases interest in religion amongst younger Turkish Europeans (Connor 2010; Guveli 2015). Accordingly, recent studies on the religious devotion of migrants in Western secular societies are paying special attention to Muslim migrants, comparing Muslims to both non-Muslim migrant groups and native-born majority populations to evaluate the degree of integration of Muslims into secular societies. A recurring question in these studies has been to what extent Muslims assimilate into and adopt the secular lifestyles of Western societies over time and across generations.
