A key principle in Dutch society is that everyone should and can participate equally. However, Muslim citizens do not participate as much in society as other Dutch citizens. This paper explores when Dutch Muslims’ religious practices increase or decrease the likelihood to participate in formal and informal citizen initiatives by exploring the role of experienced discrimination and political trust as moderators on the individual level. Using MI-ID survey data, logistic regression analyses test hypotheses based on socialization and social identity theory. Results show that the individual context is key. Practicing collective religiosity is positively related to participation in an informal citizens’ initiative, and this effect is stronger when more discrimination is perceived. We moreover find that experiencing more political trust brings about a negative association between practicing individual religiosity and participation in an informal citizens’ initiative. With respect to formal citizens’ initiatives, we conclude that those who more often practice individual religiosity are more likely to participate, and that this association is stronger when more political trust and discrimination is perceived. As such, we conclude that insights in these conditions on the individual level offer insight in mixed findings in previous research.

荷兰社会的一项基本原则是，每个人都应当且能够平等参与。然而，穆斯林公民在社会中的参与程度并不如其他荷兰公民。本研究旨在探讨荷兰穆斯林的宗教实践如何通过个体层面的经历性歧视与政治信任的作用，增加或降低参与正式与非正式公民倡议的可能性。利用MI-ID调查数据，通过逻辑回归分析对基于社会化与社会认同理论的假设进行检验。研究结果表明，个体背景至关重要。集体宗教实践与参与非正式公民倡议呈正相关，且当感知到的歧视更多时，这种影响更为显著。此外，我们发现，更多的政治信任感知导致个体宗教实践与参与非正式公民倡议之间呈现负相关。至于正式公民倡议，我们得出结论，那些更频繁实践个体宗教的人更有可能参与，且当感知到的政治信任与歧视更多时，这种关联性更强。因此，我们得出结论，对这些条件下个体层面的洞察有助于解释先前研究中混合的发现。
