Terrorism and Integration of Muslim Immigrants

Ahmed Elsayed () and Andries de Grip

No 783, Working Papers from Economic Research Forum

Abstract: We study the effect that a series of fundamentalist-Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe had on the attitudes of Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands towards integration. Despite the fact that prior to the attacks there was no evidence of the existence of a negative trend in the integration of Muslims, shortly after the attacks, Muslim immigrants’ perceived integration, as measured by various indicators, decreased significantly relative to that of non-Muslims . We further show that terrorism has a particularly negative impact on the integration of the highly educated, employed, and less religious Muslims– those who arguably have a strong potential for integration.
