Virtually Islamic represents the first extensive study of the phenomena of Islam in cyberspace. It discusses the role of computer-mediated communication in relation to key areas, including religious authority, interpretation of primary Islamic sources, trans-global and local networks of Muslim understanding, and the impact of 'new media' on perceptions of Islam. New methodological considerations towards this developing subject area are introduced. Virtually Islamic draws upon the diverse approaches towards notions of Islamic knowledge and communication in the contemporary world.
