Summary/Abstract: Navid Kermani, an influential contemporary writer in German language, in his book Who are we – Germany and its Muslims relates about the phenomenon of complex identities common to all, especially young people of third and fourth generation, originating from another country and have spent (almost) their entire life in Germany. In addition to the identity issue, specifically in regards to young people with ambivalent elements of affiliation is the issue of homeland. Kermani emphasizes significance of accepting all the elements of one’s identity, particularly in a multicultural society such as the contemporary German society. Kermani in this book also discusses the Islamic world, i.e., the attitude of Europe towards Islam keeping in mind that Europe often defines itself as a society contrary to Islam.
