In the first collection of its kind, Ruqayya Khan has compiled essays that treat Muhammad and the core elements of Islam as focal points in an exploration of how the digital era?including social media and other expressions?have both had an effect on and been affected by Islam. Scholars from a variety of fields deal with topics such as the 2005 cartoon controversy in Denmark and the infamous 2012 movie trailer ?Innocence of Muslims? that some believe sparked the attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi, as well as how the digitization of ancient texts have allowed the origins of Islam to be studied in new ways. Other essays examine how Muhammad?s wives have been represented in various online sources, including a web comic; the contrasting depictions of Muhammad as both a warrior and peacemaker; and how the widespread distribution of ?the look? of Islamic terrorists has led to attacks on Sikhs, whose only point of resemblance to them may be a full beard. These findings illuminate the role of the Internet in forms of representation, advocacy, and engagement concerning Islam and Muslims in our world today. 606 $aInformation technology$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aDigital media$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aIslam in mass media 606 $aMuslims$xPublic opinion 606 $aIslamophobia$zUnited States 615 0$aInformation technology$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aDigital media$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aIslam in mass media. 615 0$aMuslims$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aIslamophobia 676 $a305.6/97 702 $aKhan$b Ruqayya Yasmine 702 $aNadeau$b Randall 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797673303321 996 $aMuhammad in the digital age$93698634 997 $aUNINA
