The originality of this article lies in its power to address three fundamental questions: (1) Are the umbrella organizations silencing the demands of Muslim youth?; (2) How do Muslim youth resist such representative hegemony? and; (3) What specific strategies are Muslim women currently developing to gain representation and involvement in mainstream Spanish society? We find evidence for new grammars of action defying traditional authorities and reject decontextualized, asynchronous Islam. Young women are engaging in broader and inclusive activism, inspired by religion affiliation in order to reinforce their external solidarity and engagement in mainstream political structures. By contrast, young men are calling for a new Muslim leadership to reinforce primary solidarity and concentrate more on earning religious rights. For women, religion is a vector to participation and for men, it is a form of participation.engAtribución 3.0 Españajournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1007/s11562-022-00481-xopen access314.151.3-054.72305-055.236428Islamic HeritageSpanish MuslimsInclusive participationWomen EngagementReligious activismInmigrantes y refugiadosMujerPolítica socialReligiones no cristianas5902.15 Política Social6309.09 Posición Social de la Mujer5902.15 Política Social6307.03 Política Social5506.21 Historia de las Religiones
