All four of the bombers involved in 7/7, the deadly attack on
London's transport system in July 2005, were aged 30 or under. The
spectre of extremist Islam looms large and Muslim youth in the UK
are increasingly linked to radical Islamic movements. A clear,
balanced examination of this complex issue is long overdue. Philip
Lewis sets out to address this by looking at the lives and beliefs
of young Muslims aged 18 to 30, against a backdrop of the problems
any migrant community face. Beginning with an overview of British
Muslim communities, he goes on to explore the nature of the
intergenerational gap in the Muslim community, showing how normal
tensions are exaggerated as children are educated in a language and
culture different to that of their parents. Patriarchal 'clan
politics' and a breakdown in communication between young Muslims
and traditional Muslim leaders are dispossessing Islamic youth,
leading a small but significant minority to turn to radical groups
for somewhere to belong and something to believe in. Lewis
concludes by identifying a generational shift from 'clan politics'
to what he calls a 'new professionalism' and demonstrates how new
organizations and networks of Muslim thinkers are springing up all
the time - allowing young Muslims to find positive identities and
outlets for their concerns and energies.
