The interest in providing a post 9/11 image of Islam to contrast the media’s frequent focus on its practitioners’ alleged tendencies toward hostility and violence has in Sweden manifested itself (among other things) in an increased range of courses on Islam given by denominational Muslim organizations. In this paper I examine the construction of Islam by two Muslim organizations that offer education in Islam to non-Muslims in the context of the management’s stated goals of the education. My aim is to illustrate how discourses within these organizations are a result of the combination of local and global conditions.
