Abstract: JOME's second issue of volume 11 consists of six individual articles on a variety of topics and themes.Together they demonstrate once again how versatile our field of study has increasingly become.Signe Aarvik opens with an article about religious discourses of young Muslims in Norway.She shows how they combine a discourse of submission to Islamic 'orthodoxy' with a 'liberal' vocabulary of autonomy and authenticity.This discursive assimilation is not simply a kind of compromise or compliance with dominant civil culture; rather, it shows that the high degree of engagement with a multiplicity of social contexts, including interreligious friendships, challenges both exclusivist orthodox, and dominant societal normativity.Torkel Brekke, Fazal Hadi and Edin Kozaric explore the role of imams in family counselling in Norway.Their article demonstrates a high degree of awareness among imams about their potential role as counsellors and their clients' high expectations and they stress the limitations of their own authority.The article makes clear the complexity of the position of imams in Norwegian society, and in other European societies for that matter.Mehmet Kanatli argues in his article that the Turkish Islamic feminist movement has long been depicted as the 'other' by Kemalist secular women.In the mid-2000s, however, Muslim women started to voice their demands, ranging from equal opportunities in education to the transformation of patriarchal structures and the reconstruction of female identity, thereby challenging the universalist claims made by Kemalist feminists.Anika Liversage explores divorce processes among Muslims in Denmark, more precisely the phenomenon of what she calls 'nikah captivity' , the situation in which Muslim women may be able to divorce under Danish law, but find the dissolution of their nikah (Muslim marriage) much more difficult to accomplish.Dino Mujadzevic analyses the first edition of the Encyclopaedia of Yugoslavia (1955Yugoslavia ( -1971)), published at a time when an officially sanctioned anti-Ottoman socialist discourse was widespread and presented this era as a period of oppression and backwardness.Although only some of the articles in the encyclopaedia were formulated in line with this discourse, while others were written in a more neutral academic language, Mujadzevic's article clearly demonstrates how challenging it was, and still is, to cope with a complex past.Jaap van Slageren and Frank van Tubergen have conducted research among second-generation Muslim groups in a large number of countries in Europe and discovered that they have lower
