Introduction: iMuslims and cyber-Islamic environments -- Locating Islam in cyberspace -- Accessing cyber-Islamic environments -- Decoding the sacred: Islamic source code -- The Islamic blogosphere -- The cutting edge: militaristic jihad in cyberspace -- Digital jihadi battlefields: Iraq and Palestine -- Conclusion. The transformation of cyber-Islamic environments -- Glossary of key Islamic terms.
Summary: Exploring the increasing impact of the Internet on Muslims around the world, this book sheds new light on the nature of contemporary Islamic discourse, identity, and community. The Internet has profoundly shaped how both Muslims and non-Muslims perceive Islam and how Islamic societies and networks are evolving and shifting in the twenty-first century, says Gary Bunt. While Islamic society has deep historical patterns of global exchange, the Internet has transformed how many Muslims practice the duties and rituals of Islam. A place of religious instruction may exist solely in the virtual world.
