Conclusion

Abstract

Muslims in Singapore and Sydney face similar challenges such as their minority status and low socioeconomic position relative to the larger society. The predicament these young urban Muslims face in their everyday lives further coincides with the broader processes of globalization that bring together the September 11 generation living in the Information Age. Although this results in a convergence of youth culture to a certain extent, youth participation in popular culture is often mediated and limited by state structures and other socio- cultural actors, resulting in the different materializations of popular Muslim youth culture.
