The diversity amongst Muslims makes it increasingly difficult to sing from the same hymn sheet on where and why we should be represented. To me, being Muslim is steeped in my faith and practice of Islam; to someone else it may be found in their cultural background, or it may be a political statement, or just something that comes to light twice a year at the Eid celebrations. In order for our faith to stay intact in the public and private spheres, we must have guidelines on representation, but where do they come from?
