In short, the Turkish field research suggests that Christian migrant women usually experience hybrid religiosity through engaging in different Islamic religious practices such as fasting during Ramadan, or celebrating Islamic holidays along with the rest of the society.

Muslim migrant women on the other hand, are coming from different and practices of Islamic lives, from former Soviet countries. Therefore, their integration to upper middle class Muslim life styles requires further accommodation of Muslim way of life in Turkey; the way that they use headscarf back home for example is a totally different practice than their observations in Turkey.
