The relationship between religion, religious groups, and migration is an important topic of recent social science debate. Migration affects all aspects of the lives of those who have left their homes, including facets characterized as religious. Religion and religious identity are linked to social, cultural, and political issues, including integration, identity negotiation, diasporic community formation, interreligious dialogue, and religious pluralism. On the one hand, migration can change religious cultures, rituals, and traditions through the experience of mobility and the response of the host country. On the other hand, religious groups can encourage migration. In this context, new forms of transnational interaction and organization have emerged that contribute to the reformulation of community and identity. In some cases, such changes can lead to new conflicts and even trigger religious radicalization. This edited book consists of essays that bring together various perspectives on religious groups and their migration processes in different geographical regions. The aim is to empirically analyze the discourse and practices of national and transnational religious groups while investigating the relationship of religion and migration to political, historical, cultural, and social transitions. The book brings together academics and practitioners from different countries through interdisciplinary approaches that will be of interest to a wide readership of scholars and practitioners.ContentsReligion, Religious Groups and Migration. - Deniz Coşan Eke and Eric M.

"Hello." replied Mira, walking slowly around Ben like a cat circling its prey...but for Ben she looked more like bacon wrapped around a chili dog. It got even more intense once Ben realized she was about to speak. Ben was sweating now; he was short of breath and didn't know what to say. Mira was a sexy and forbidden woman of obvious great intelligence. Ben then yelled the greatest best lie he could think of: "My cat is going to die at 5 o'clock today!" Mira and the sound of her black and turquoise colored 4 inch high heels came to a halt. She turned to Ben; she licked the Kit Kat chocolate off one finger and then after a brief pause said: "Did you say cat... or... kitten?"
