Abstract [sv]

Denna uppsats ämnar att studera ungdomars upplevelser av att leva som muslimer i Sverige, bemötandet av människor i förhållande till deras religion samt hur detta påverkar deras känsla av tillhörighet till Sverige. Datamaterialet har samlats in med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta unga muslimer som har en icke-europeisk bakgrund. Studien använder de teoretiska begreppen rasifiering och tillhörighet. Resultatet i studien visar på att de unga muslimerna har upplevt en svårighet att utöva sin religion i Sverige, exempelvis när det kommer till att finna tid för bönen, att fasta samt ha tillgång till halalmat. Upplevelse av negativt bemötande i form av främlingsfientlighet, rasism samt diskriminering i relation till deras religion och etnicitet var även förekommande för flera av intervjupersonerna. Samtliga unga muslimer uttryckte att detta haft en påverkan på deras tillhörighetskänsla i Sverige då de till varierande grad upplevde en känsla av exkludering från det svenska samhället. Däremot har flera av intervjupersonerna funnit en samhörighet med andra individer i de egna bostadsområdena som befinner sig i en liknande situation som de själva när det kommer till tro och etnicitet.

Abstract [en]

This study aims to examine young people’s experiences of living as Muslims in Sweden, treatment from other people in relation to their religion and how it affects their feeling of belonging in Sweden. The data material has been collected through semi-structured interviews with eight young Muslims with a non-European background. The study uses the theoretical concepts of racialization and belonging.The results in the study shows that the young Muslims had experienced a difficulty in practicing their religion in Sweden for example when it comes to finding time for prayer, being able to fast and having access to halal food. The experience of being negatively met in the form of xenophobia, racism and discrimination in relation to their religion and ethnicity was also occurred among several of the interviewees. All the young Muslims expressed that this has influenced their sense of belonging in Sweden as they in varying degrees had felt a feeling of exclusion from the Swedish society. On the other hand, several of the interviewee shad found a community among other individuals in their neighborhoods who were in a similar situation in regard to their beliefs and ethnic background.
