Australian Muslim Youth

Abstract

The program was produced for Background Briefing, ABC Radio Nationalâ¿¿s flagship investigative journalism program. The programs listed below are each 54 minutes in duration and the product of 6-7 weeks of intensive research, interviewing, editing, sound design, writing and production In Muslim communities across the world there's an intense battle of ideas going on about how to confront extremism and isolationism; what it means to be a Muslim in a modern, globalizing world - and how Muslims should live in non-Muslim societies. That same battle is happening here - and Australian Muslim youth are on the frontline. Young Muslims see debate and diversity as a sign of strength and maturity.
