TY - JOUR AU - Mårtensson, Ulrika AU - Eriksen, Eli-Anne Vonngrave PY - 2014/02/23 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Muslim Society Trondheim: A Local History JF - Scandinavian Journal of Islamic Studies JA - TIFO VL - 8 IS - 1 SE - Articles: Thematic section DO - 10.7146/tifo.v8i1.25327 UR - https://tifoislam.dk/article/view/25327 SP - AB - The article describes and analyzes the founding and development of Muslim Society Trondheim (MST), a jâmi‘ mosque and Islamic organization in Norway’s third largest city, Trondheim. The aim is to explore the significance for integration policy on ‘active citizenship’ and two-way accommodation between majority and minority of MST’s dialogues with the church and public institutions, with reference to Casanova’s concept ‘de-privatized public religion’ and Roy’s ‘churchification of Islam’. Main findings are that the dialogue with the church was the one which achieved the best results in terms of two-way accommodation; that MST’s dialogues have contributed towards the city’s Muslims claiming their civil and human rights; and that because this does represent a ‘churchification’ of Islam, it does not make MST a case of ‘de-privatized public Islam’ in Casanova’s sense.
