Islam and the Media
Aloha! This week's focus is Islam and the media - print, broadcast and online. In the days "when the world was flat" it took a long and arduous effort to do a journey of discovery. Now it just takes clicks and links to check out facts and features of far away places. Likewise, the digital world has made the study of Islam in Asia and the Pacific easier for all of us. Discover it for yourself, and don't miss our special preview of iMuslims by Gary Bunt before you log-out.
Mahalo,
Program Coordinators, MSAP |

Featured Author: Gary Bunt
Dr Gary Bunt is Director of the distance learning MA in Islamic Studies / Senior Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the University of Wales (Lampeter), United Kingdom.
Drawing on more than a decade of online research, Bunt shows how
social-networking sites, blogs, and other "cyber-Islamic environments"
have exposed Muslims to new influences outside the traditional spheres
of Islamic knowledge and authority. He writes on how the Internet has
dramatically influenced forms of Islamic activism and radicalization,
including jihad-oriented campaigns by networks such as al-Qaeda.
