“Islam provides both a positive identity, in which solidarity can be found, together with an escape from the oppressive tedium of being constantly identified in negative terms”

Just finished chapter - Being Muslim and Being British: The Dynamics of Islamic Reconstruction in Bradford
much more detailed and better than I was so expecting haha. talks about deobandis, barelvis , jamaat-e-islam movements(?). actually explains them quite well lol. The chapter talks about how these movements first shaped how islam looked in Bradford (e.g. mosques, teachers) & the future (now older lol) generation
