“…Ouseley's report is typical of other recent writing about Bradford which suggests that analysis of Pakistani Muslim communities requires explanation not just in terms of social class and 'race' but also with reference to religion and culture (Lewis 2002;Macey 1999;Mahony 2001). 8 For example, Macey (1999) insists that there is an increasing tendency towards public and domestic violence amongst Pakistani heritage males in Bradford and that this cannot be explained simply in terms of material deprivation and social exclusion.…”

While there is still some evidence of conflict over the planning and building of mosques in Britain, in this article I demonstrate that this is not currently the case in Bradford. Having first considered issues relating to the status and significance of mosques in Britain, and then the institutionalisation of Islam in Bradford, I suggest that this absence of mosque conflicts has much to do with the social and political implications of a densely populated 'Muslim' inner city. However, the absence of conflict over mosques in Bradford does not mean that the pervasive Islamisation of the inner city is not an issue; quite the reverse. After riots involving youth of Pakistani-Muslim heritage, a dominant discourse has emerged focusing on ethnic and religious 'selfsegregation' and the need for 'community cohesion'. Moreover, commentators have identified mosques, and the religious leadership and education they provide, as a part of the problem. My article examines why this might be so and the extent to which Bradford Council for Mosques, and one particular mosque in Bradford, have been able to engage Muslims in cooperative relationships with the public space.

“…Selon John Rex, le groupe ethnique peut être considéré comme un groupe intermédiaire entre l'individu et la société dans le sens durkheimien (7) . Cependant, il faut se garder d'essentialiser les groupes ethniques et de les considérer comme des monolithes (8) . En effet, les femmes peuvent y subir les contraintes d'une culture patriarcale traditionnelle.…”

“…Les jeunes semblent en effet avoir mobilisé un code islamique particulier afin de s'opposer à leurs aînés, aux femmes, aux musulmans libéraux ainsi qu'à l'establishment (no-go areas, c'est-à-dire les zones où l'autorité de l'État est impuissante). Ils ont eu recours à la violence dans les sphères publique et privée ainsi qu'au harcèlement afin d'exercer un contrôle au nom de ce qu'ils perçoivent comme étant des valeurs musulmanes (Macey 1999).…”

RésuméDans cet article, nous explorons le contexte sociétal qui a facilité une institutionnalisation de l’islam en Grande-Bretagne. La non-séparation de l’Église et de l’État ainsi que les possibilités de participation politique sont les deux piliers de l’interaction entre les musulmans et la société britannique. Leurs revendications et leurs modalités d’organisation sociale se déploient dans ce cadre. Nous examinerons la participation de ce groupe ainsi que son identité, en accordant une attention particulière aux jeunes et aux femmes de culture musulmane.
