Van veel dingen hebben we slechts oppervlakkig verstand, maar dat weerhoudt ons er niet van om, soms met stuitende stelligheid, dingen als absolute waarheden te verkondigen.
Maar het uitzicht uit jouw ogen is uniek. Niemand ziet de wereld zoals jij. Niemand heeft jouw achtergrond, niemand heeft jouw kennis, jouw ervaringen. Niemand heeft jouw tranen gehuild en jouw verlies gedragen. Geen mens heeft successen en overwinningen meegemaakt zoals jij. Dat alles kleurt jouw uitzicht op de wereld. Het is dus helemaal niet vreemd dat andere mensen soms dingen anders waarnemen dan jij.
Dit boek daagt je uit om jouw kijk op de wereld te onderzoeken en een houding aan te nemen die ervan uitgaat dat je wel eens geen gelijk zou kunnen hebben. Die houding werd ons al voorgeleefd door niemand minder dan Jezus van Nazareth. Onvoorwaardelijk en onuitputtelijk houdt Hij van iedereen! Dat gaat dan niet alleen over de knuffelversie van liefde, maar over liefde die dient, liefde die stuurt, liefde die confronteert, ook als het even niet uitkomt. Zo liet Hij ons zien wat Hij van ons verwacht.

The book discusses the theoretical and methodological challenges of an interculturally valid sociology of religion and provides insights into the autochthonous socio-religious research in Muslim societies and Asian countries. In this way, it links discourses that have so far taken place primarily independently of one another. The book goes back to a conference in Münster that questioned the Western foundation of empirical religiosity research, which reaches its limits in the non-American and non-European context, but also with regard to orthodox forms of faith in the Western context. The Editors Dr. Sarah Demmrich, Post-doc at the Cluster of Excellence „Religion und Politik“, Chair of Sociology of Religion at University Münster Dr. Ulrich Riegel, Professor for Religious Education at the University of Siegen.

Using semi-structured interviews with 122 young Muslims in Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA) from diverse ethnic backgrounds, this book investigates the lived reality of young Muslims from their own perspectives. It explores their ideas of key Islamic and secular issues, their struggles, world views, triumphs, how the stigmatized group negotiates their identity in these three English language speaking Western countries, 20 years after 9/11. The key aspect of this book is to transcend binaries and reductionisms by exploring what Muslims actually think and say rather than intellectual articulations on them. The book presents a very detailed account of these young Muslims in the Anglophone West on their political beliefs, their knowledge and understanding of sharia law, their interest and participation in local and transnational political activism, their positive and negative feelings about their own communities, and indeed how they define their community. Ihsan Yilmaz is Research Professor and Chair of Islamic Studies at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. He is also a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at Oxford University's Regent College and the European Center for Populism Studies, Brussels. Previously, he worked at the Universities of Oxford and London and has a strong track record of leading multi-site international research projects funded by the Australian Research Council, Victorian and Australian Governments, and Gerda Henkel Foundation. He has been working on various topics including Muslim diasporas in the West, authoritarianism, digital authoritarianism, populism, and religion and politics with special emphasis on Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan.
