This study investigates how young Muslim women who are Norwegian-born and/or raised in a Norwegian context negotiate their religious identification in the acculturation process. Reviewing and utilizing theory on young Western Muslims' religious identity and acculturation theory this study seeks to better understand how the young Muslim women attempt to live as "good Muslims" in a non-Muslim, secularized and pluralistic society. Three questions guide this research: (1) Where, when and about what, in everyday life, do young Muslim women negotiation religiosity in their everyday life? (2) How does the negotiation outcome influence their religious identity and self-understanding as Muslims? (3) How does the negotiation outcome relate to the acculturation process for the young Muslims? Twenty-two in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted. The interviewees were either Norwegian born and/or immigrated to Norway as a child and they were self-identified as Muslims and attempted to live as good Muslims. The interview data provided the material for analysis for this study.
