Denne artikkelen er en oppmuntring til min generasjon av bosniere i diasporaen om å løsrive forsoningen med fortiden fra kontemporære politiske narrativer og nasjonsbyggingsprosesser i Bosnia. Artikkelen er således et forsvar for anvendelse av krigens mørke kapitler som momenter i narrativer som overskrider de allerede etablerte, og den legger frem et argument for at Bosnias urealiserte fellesskapspotensial utgjør diasporaens mest potente arv etter krigen.
Abstract in English: Stories of Bosnia
This essay is an encouragement for my generation of Bosnians in the diaspora to emancipate processes of consolidation with the past from the contemporary political narratives and nation-building processes in Bosnia. Furthermore, the essay provides a justification for the appropriation of the darker chapters of the Bosnian war as moments in narratives which transcend those already established, and argues that the unrealized communal potential in Bosnia constitutes the diaspora's most potent heritage after the war.

Abstract
This article offers an analysis of the role of Muslim imams in family counselling in Norway based on a survey (N = 35) and in-depth interviews (N = 10) with imams. There has till now been little knowledge about these issues. We find that family counselling is an important part of the work that imams do and they have a high degree of awareness about their potential role as counsellors, but they are also wary of their clients' high expectations and they stress the limitations of their own authority. One of the important issues the imams face in counselling has to do with the challenging role of Muslim husbands and the expectations husbands sometimes face.
