Abstract
This article demonstrates how certain young Muslim women of Moroccan descent in Flanders are contributing to the pluralization of religious authority structures. It begins by presenting the methodology used for data collection, followed by a description and analysis of the spaces used by Muslim women for the formulation and dissemination of their own perspectives on religious ideas and interpretations of Islam as one case in which plural modes of changing religious authority have interfered. The chapter focuses on the data coded as pertaining to authority, sources, leadership, role models, informal meetings, Islamic organizations, legitimacy, and authenticity. Keywords:Flanders; Islamic religious authority; Muslim women
