Based on ethnographic research, the lecturer offers some perspectives on the position and formation of virtue ethics, adab, among young Twelver Shia Muslims in Norway. She discusses how the youths’ critical conceptualizations of their faith take place within the structural frameworks of customary rituals and established theological positions while being shaped in response to current public debates on Islam and face-to-face encounters with Muslims and non-Muslims.
