Jihadism has been an important issue in public discussions since 9/11. Internet media have been used as means of communication, propaganda, recruitment, and even training purposes. In this volume, the processes of interaction on Jihadi internet sides are analysed. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms of the spread of propaganda via the internet by diverse technical means. The process of transformation of ‘Islamic knowledge’ into ‘Jihadi knowledge’, the rhetorics of videos, the development of South Asian Jihadi organisations and some conceptual issues are discussed.
