ABSTRACT

Liberation of the society, the growing increase of the role of social media communication among the Muslims and growing immigration from Islamic countries to Estonia keep affecting inner change of the once mono-ethnical and for long time Tatar-dominated Estonian Islamic community. The changes concern carrying out religious practices and reforming the organizational structure of the community. Those changes, seen by the larger community, present the changing dynamics inside the Islamic community, where competing narratives of Tatars, converted Estonians and newly arrived immigrants stand for a different understanding what Islam is and how God should be worshipped today in Estonia.
