Abstract :In an unprecedented manner, Western countries are becoming diverse with multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious populations immigrating from different geographies. Former colonizer countries in Europe, like France, Netherlands and Britain, covered the need for labor from their former colonies in the second half of the twentieth century; people migrated from these countries in seek of better life and economic prosperity. 1 Countries like Germany, on the other hand, signed treaties with a number of states beginning in the 1950s to recruit foreign workers. 2 Germany received the largest number of guest workers from Turkey.
