在这篇文章中，我们讨论了各种自觉的穆斯林演员在英国的公共和媒体话语中变得越来越明显的意义。我们展示了如何在新闻报道本身有一个可观察到的各种穆斯林的观点，这标志着一个积极的对比与更有限的范围内的论证（至少公开报道）在早期出现的英国穆斯林身份在20世纪80年代末的拉什迪事件的时间。我们认为，这些发展的讨论将受益于一个词汇，可以分析性地描述之间的界限，和内容，各种穆斯林的声音，以及评估他们的纳入主流公共话语意味着更宏观的公民身份和国家地位的理解。本文通过批判性地评估英国穆斯林声音在全国新闻界的包容性和代表性，对这一目标做出了初步的贡献。我们希望提请注意，英国的案例说明了穆斯林“原教旨主义”和“温和”的相关概念如何在新闻报道中纳入和代表穆斯林的声音。这可以通过穆斯林演员如何被描述为愤怒，模棱两可和批准来说明。值得注意的是，这不仅仅是包括穆斯林对原教旨主义愤怒的声音。
In this article we discuss the significance of how a variety of self-consciously Muslim actors have become increasingly discernable in public and media discourses in Britain. We show how within news reporting itself there is an observable variety of Muslim perspectives and that this marks a positive contrast with the more limited range of argumentation (publicly reported at least) at an earlier period in the emergence of British Muslim identities in the late 1980s at the time of the Rushdie affair. We maintain that a discussion of these developments would benefit from a vocabulary that can analytically describe the boundaries between, and content within, a variety of Muslim voices, as well as evaluate what their inclusion in mainstream public discourses implies for an understanding of more macro concerns around citizenship and nationhood. This article makes a tentative contribution to this goal by critically evaluating the inclusion and representation in the national press of British Muslim voices. We wish to draw attention to the ways in which the British case illustrates how relational notions of Muslim “fundamentalism” and “moderation” are present within the inclusion and representation of Muslim voices within news reporting. This can be illustrated by how Muslim actors are characterized as angry, ambiguous, and approving. What is crucial to note is that this amounts to more than simply including Muslim voices of fundamentalist anger.
