"iMuslims: Rewiring the House of Islam” by Gary R. Bunt is a book I assign to my students. It’s a great resource for looking at the impact of the internet/social media on Muslims around the world. Gary looks at both how transformative online activity has been for Muslim debate and discussions – did you know you could perform a virtual Haj? – and the ways extremist groups have used such networking. I was so glad to see MuslimWakeup! mentioned."   Mona Eltahawy, Blog, Ramadan Book Recommendations 2010 (day 27)

Jens Kutscher, HSK [hsozkult.geschichte.hu-
 
" ... the clear strength of iMuslims rests in boldly going where many have not:  laying the groundwork and asking scholars to unpack what, at first pass, looks to many like unholy bedfellows for the sake of understanding the effect of Internet technologies on theology. Like any piece of original software, the bugs and glitches may be overlooked while users eagerly await an upgrade."  Dominic Bocci, Muftah.org

Wheeler (United States Naval Academy). International Journal of Middle East Studies, Volume 44, Issue 03, August 2012, pp 612-614
