Reclaiming a Diverse Ummah: Social Justice and Community among Young Muslims in the United States
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article explores how the concepts of dignity and conviviality impact the social justice work of young-adult Muslims in the United States. Here, conviviality demands confronting and coping with historical discrimination, exploitation, and abuse (Gilroy 2004) and is examined in relation to the ideology of the Muslim ummah, a united, global community of all Muslims. However, the Muslims this article focuses on see a tension between the ideology of the ummah and the practice, which results in inequity and a lack of dignity experienced by some Muslims. The author argues that attempts at building convivial relationships inadvertently lead Muslims to feel distance and isolation from Muslim spaces and community. Their social justice work provides them with the ability to look beyond the Muslim ummah and see dignity in a shared humanity. Combined with their intellectual and academic study of social justice, these Muslims are developing their own ethical frameworks grounded in Islam. Though challenging to enact, by continually confronting their privileges, biases, and blind spots, these Muslims are striving to live, behave, and build relationships that prioritize the dignity of all people, inside the Muslim community and beyond.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
