Muslim diaspora communities in the West: Marginalized outsiders and previleged informants.
In the years since 9/11, Muslims living in Western societies have become conceptualized both as the "enemy within" the West, and as a bridge to understanding between the Muslim and Western worlds. This intense scrutiny has led to a re-conceptualisation of identity, so that people who were once seen primarily in terms of the ethnicity are now seen first and foremost as Muslim.
