Loader Stephen Marmura has made a signification contribution in this careful examination of the political contest being conducted on the Internet between Arab and Jewish sources. -- Karim, Karim H. Marmura successfully transcends the commonplace binary observations about the Internet either facilitating social fragmentation or ideological hegemony in this book by introducing an altogether more nuanced reading of web-based political activism. -- Brian D. Loader Marmura's book is a pathbreaking work on how the World Wide Web is used in the Middle East propaganda war. It deploys innovative analysis of web content emanating from Moslem, Christian and Jewish fundamentalist groups in their efforts to mobilize support for their causes particularly in the U.S arena. His main finding is that in spite of wide access to various sources of information through the internet, dominant discourse on the Middle East retains its support of the status quo. -- Elia Zureik Author InformationStephen M.
