Abstract:

This paper discusses the existence of an as yet unrecognized, or little recognized, ethnic category, known locally under the name of “Islam” or other local terms. This ethnic category has a definite identity perceived by the local population both from inside and from outside, but with still an unclear “cultural” content.
