ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts covered in this book. The book has described and explained a range of counter-narratives that Muslim youth collectively construct and disseminate in their distinctive popular culture. It focuses that counter-discursive reactions to the media dominance of the radical Islamist meta-narrative and the war on terror fuel forms of tribalism in the popular culture of Muslim youth in the diaspora. The book examines the starting proposition that young Muslims in the diaspora frame up their sense of self, their identity, in relation to the binary discourse of 'good' and 'bad' Muslims within contemporary Islam as a revitalised religion. It also examines that young Muslims in the diaspora draw a strong sense of positive self-esteem from belonging to the global ummah as it is constituted for them through the interactive space of new media, social media and halal popular culture.
