What is the importance of computer science and the Internet in the lives of Muslims, and can they be used to spread Islamic culture, clarify Islamic ideas, discuss destructive ideologies, and does the Internet suffice as a source of information over books and libraries, and does it have a role in refuting attacks raised against Muslims and their sanctities?
The computer is the latest achievement of the technological revolution, reflecting humanity's ability to control the universe. Its importance lies in being the new medium for printing, design, advertising, research, studies, and the internet. The internet has made the world a small village, compressing time and distances, and providing an enormous wealth of information and a vast number of books. Among its most significant dangers are pornography, facilitating prostitution, and promoting perversions and deviant ideas. The internet has revolutionized publishing and media, leading to wide freedom in electronic publishing, which has two sides: challenging opposing views and being an advantage for Muslims to convey their ideas. The internet is not a substitute for books, but rather a new means of acquiring and marketing them. The paper book remains more possessive of its reader and more comforting. The internet is used in "electronic warfare" to sabotage enemy sites, and it is the lifeline of contemporary life for influencing public opinion and sending messages.
