Reconfiguration of Islam by Muslims in Australia

在世俗的西方民主国家长大的穆斯林如何以及是否重新配置规范的伊斯兰教，以促进更广泛社会的积极成员是一个至关重要的问题。该项目是澳大利亚第一个对此进行研究的项目。它将侧重于长期穆斯林居民和当地皈依者如何重新配置伊斯兰教和穆斯林身份，与那些穆斯林身份主要在澳大利亚以外形成的人形成鲜明对比。了解穆斯林如何调和伊斯兰身份与更广泛社会的积极成员，对澳大利亚作为最成功的多元文化民主国家之一的未来具有重要意义。

How - and whether - Muslims who have grown up in a secular Western democracy reconfigure normative Islam so as to facilitate active membership in the wider society is a vital issue. This project is the first to research this in Australia. It will focus on how Islam and Muslim identity are re-configured by long-term Muslim residents and local converts, in contrast to those whose Muslim identity was largely shaped outside of Australia. Understanding how Muslims reconcile Islamic identity with active membership in the wider society has important implications for the future of Australia as one of the most successful multicultural democracies.
