Abstract	:	This study offers a test case for Zolberg and Woon's (1999) 'Why Islam is like Spanish,' treating Islamic religious instruction in Germany and US bilingual education as comparable issue areas in political incorporation in their respective nations. Since the 1980s, policy trends in US bilingual education (at the national and state level) indicate policy rollback. This is despite a long period of political incorporation for the main beneficiary of these policies, immigrants of Mexican descent. By contrast, policy trends in Islamic religious instruction in Germany indicate modest expansionary trends despite comparatively less political incorporation of and a shorter immigration history for its main beneficiaries, immigrants of Turkish descent. This belies the literature in political science that argues that entrenched groups are well positioned to secure/defend favorable policy outcomes in issue areas of interest.
