| Résumé: | This article examines the emergence of Salafism in Norway, a relatively new phenomenon in the country that manifests itself mainly through two Muslim organisations, namely IslamNet and the Prophet’s Ummah. Recent research has emphasised that the activism of IslamNet may be characterised as being haraki, or “politically” orientated—a categorisation emerging out of the frequently cited so-called tripartite typology of transnational Salafism. While we agree that the model is useful as an ideal type, we argue that Salafi organisations such as IslamNet may adjust their orientation from puritanism to politics, depending on shifting social-political circumstances. |
