Young, Irish muslims

Anusia · 21-02-2013 05:45PM #1

Hello!

I'm a Visual Communications student in my final year. I am hoping to do my final project on what it means to be a young, Irish Muslim. I am interested in how this generation of Muslims 'negotiate their Irishness', or perhaps this is not an issue and there are more pressing issues for the young Muslim community in Ireland.

My personal experience growing up in Ireland as the daughter of an Irish Catholic father and a South-African Hindu mother was a very positive one but I did feel the need to consciously consider my identity as an Irish person while my friends were considering their identity in other terms. I wonder if Muslims between the ages of 17-26 living in this country have felt the same at any point.

I am hoping to meet individuals to hear about their experiences in this area. I am probably going to focus on the Dublin area but would be willing to expand my search geographically if other people from around Ireland want to get involved!! If you would like any more information please feel free to message me!

Thanks!

There is an islamic event all this weekend at Eden College. You can go there and meet many young muslims esp youth here sister.

Moreover every weekend at O Connell street there is table of information about Islam besides GPO. Ask them otherwise.

There is facebook page of muslimsisters of Eire. Talk to them otherwise. There are plenty of options exist for your project.
