Between Nationality and Faith : An Analysis of National and Religious Identities on Swedish-Muslim Websites (English)
Abstract [en]

This essay explores how Islamic organizations in Sweden convey a swedish-muslim identity through their websites. By analyzing the digital platforms of three key organizations, Sveriges Muslimska Förbund, Islamiska Shiasamfunden i Sverige, and Islams Ahmadiyya Församling, the research examines the intersection of national and religious identities. Using qualitative methods such as content and visual analysis, the study identifies how language, symbols, and visuals are used to navigate dual belonging. Findings reveal that these websites serve as arenas for balancing swedish and muslim identities. Organizations highlight integration and shared societal values through national symbols like the Swedish flag while maintaining religious authenticity. Themes of "dual belonging" emerge, reflecting efforts to align muslim identity with swedish norms. The organizations also emphasize social engagement, such as combating extremism and participating in national celebrations, to foster inclusion. The study concludes that these digital platforms are vital tools for expressing coexistence and challenging stereotypes in a multicultural context.
