| Summary: | This is an ethnographic study of religious experience in post-war Sarajevo. It argues that, against the backdrop of the shifting configurations of social powers that affect nation-state institutions along with intergenerational change and class, the locus of ostensibly “real” Bosnian Islam—European and tolerant—and the identity of those who speak on its behalf have been rethought and reformed. Taking the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (bds) campaign as its ethnographic entry point, this article examines the variety of Muslim voices that shape the current facets of Bosnian Islam and its position in the complex relations between Europe and Islam. |
