Religious Practice in the Digital Context: Addressing Radicalism on Social Media
Get PDFThis article examines how social media exacerbates religious radicalization and explores strategic measures to address it through a religious moderation approach. The phenomenon of religious radicalization on social media has become a complex and challenging global issue.
