Gary R. Bunt provides an account of the issues at stake, identifying two radical new concepts. Firstly, the emergence of e-jihad ("Electronic Jihad") originating from diverse Muslim perspectives - this is described in its many forms relating to the different definitions of "jihad", including on-line activism (ranging from promoting militaristic activities to hacking, to co-ordinating peaceful protests) and Muslim expression post 9/11. Secondly, he discusses religious authority on the Internet - including the concept of on-line fatwas and their influence in diverse settings, and the complexities of conflicting notions of religious authority.
