Islam and the forefront of technology are not typically thought of together. Friday sermons and religious classes might drop hints of social networks orsmartphones; how- ever, the content is not tech-centric. Conversations might walk down Nostalgia Lane to reminisce about the wonder years of technological advancementsin past eras of Islam- ic history. Yet not much issaid about Islam and technology in the contemporary sense. 2011 was marked by dramatic changes brought on by the internet. Today, social media sites such Facebook have been used for many purposes with its membership now growing to over 700 million users – larger than the popu- lation of any country in the world, barring China and India. The world’s attention was recently riveted on WikiLeaks which introduced a new form of guerilla journalism that called for more transparency from both political and cor- porate leadership. WikiLeaks granted individual whistle- blowers the power to publicise confidential information about government and corporate mishaps, allowing for miscarriages of justice to come to light.
