Islam is created by God and thus perfect, it are humans and their concepts who bring their own bad sides in this religion. Salaam Alaykum,

I initially looked at transfer of knowledge, which directed me to the creation of knowledge and in turn to creation itself. Over the millennia it appears that human awareness is itself fluid, like the earth, the multiverse and indeed religous practices. Rituals rules and regulation, particularly when dictated from the interpreters of creative wisdom appear to restrict creativity rather than encourage the process of creation, not that it needs restriction or encouragement. All free thinkers struggle against those ideologies that attempt to restrain the essence of our virtual and physical existence.

It is an interesting process.. trying to find content... thinking about what links to make, how to present it in cyberspace, what kinds of communities are possible in virtual reality, etc. Its still very new. It will be a while before we will really think through most of the implications which technology will have on culture, Muslim or otherwise. Asalam-alaikum,
