Miriam Schader shows that migrants can use religion as a resource for political involvement in
their (new) country of residence - but under certain circumstances only. The author analyses
the role religious networks and symbols play for the politicization and participation of Muslim
and Christian migrants from sub-Saharan Africa in Berlin and Paris. Against the widely held
belief that Islam is a 'political religion' in itself  this study demonstrates that Christian
migrants draw on their religion for political action more easily than their Muslim
counterparts. It also highlights that it is not religion in general which helps migrants get
politically active  but particular forms of religious organisations and particular theological
elements.
