Through an array of detailed case studies, this book explores the
vibrant digital expressions of diverse groups of Muslim cybernauts:
religious clerics and Sufis, feminists and fashionistas, artists
and activists, hajj pilgrims and social media influencers. These
stories span a vast cultural and geographic landscape—from
Indonesia, Iran, and the Arab Middle East to North America. These
granular case studies contextualize cyber Islam within broader
social trends: racism and Islamophobia, gender dynamics, celebrity
culture, identity politics, and the shifting terrain of
contemporary religious piety and practice. The book’s authors
examine an expansive range of digital multimedia technologies as
primary “texts.” These include websites, podcasts, blogs,
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube channels, online magazines
and discussion forums, and religious apps. The contributors also
draw on a range of methodological and theoretical models from
multiple academic disciplines, including communication and media
studies, anthropology, history, global studies, religious studies,
and Islamic studies.
