What is the impact of Islamic inter-connectivity on the Internet in two key related areas: decision making and political activism? New notions of Muslim authority and identity transcend traditional cultural and religious frameworks by going online. What kind of Islamic opinions are sought, and by whom? What are the qualities of an online fatwa? How does it differ from 'conventional' authority and sources? Does the Internet represent a transformation in the transmission of Islamic knowledge? This electronic authority, sometimes qualified by users with the term ijtihad, can also influence political networking and activism by mobilizing the immediacy of the Internet to promote specific world views and agendas. Most recently, the phenomenon of so-called 'e-jihad' has been highlighted in a virtual conflict in cyberspace between Palestinian and Israeli interests. Digital activism is not new one, although its association with religion has now become more pronounced. Can hacking be justifiably interpreted as an Islamic activity? What kinds of issues emerge with this kind of campaigning, and is it truly significant and influential on Muslim world views and opinion?
