    Abstract

    After September 11, 2001, increasingly negative images of Muslims have been widely presented through the media. Muslims have been subjected to violence and vilification at different locations. This paper will describe the identity of young Muslims in Queensland. Research mixed methods were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data from 117 youths. They took part in a group discussion and completed a short questionnaire. Social, cultural and political environments that influence the identity of young people were explored.
