When Jihadi Ideology Meets Social Media (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This book explores whether there are any elements in the Islamic culture that make social media platforms the perfect communication tools and, if so, what these elements are. While the term "ISIS" yields 210,000,000 results in Google search engine, there is a severe shortage of studies that address 'why' radical groups are so good at using social media, and therefore, what to do about it without violating fundamental rights such as free speech and freedom of religion. Conducting a thorough study on the influence and the control of Salafi Jihadists of Arabic language social medial is a long overdue task. This book fills this gap by engaging with the wide spectrum of versatile tactics employed by radical Jihadists who utilize modern social network platforms as an economic yet global-reaching strategy to spread propaganda, recruit new members, raise fund, and even coordinate actions.
