Publishers Weekly, Understanding Islam...With Books includes reference to 'Hashtag Islam

"For contemporary Islam, the internet has become an empowering tool for religious teaching, mobilization, and networking. Hashtag Islam provides a clear and well-written focus on the impact of cyber-technologies on issues of faith and authority, offering insights into the ways in which the internet has become integrated into the dissemination of Islamic knowledge within global and local contexts. A key contribution that will attract students from an array of disciplines, including Islamic studies, Middle Eastern studies, and political science." Vahideh Golzard, University of Leeds

"Hashtag Islam--the newest work by one of the pioneers in reporting on Islam in cyberspace--reflects an incredible range of materials, views, and counterviews. It provides a valuable corrective to the tendency to focus on the negative and political uses of the internet and social media by jihadists without due consideration of the more everyday uses by all kinds of Muslims." Daniel Varisco, Qatar University."

“ … the sociological underpinnings of this work make for a touchstone for further investigation.” James Wetherbee, Library Journal, 'Spirituality and Religion', August 2018

“If you're interested in how Islamic identity is changing across the world as social media grows, pre-order @garybunt's excellent new volume.” Hussein Kesvani @HKesvani, 23 July 2018

""...by investigating how Muslim communities are utilizing (and being transformed by) the ongoing worldwide digital revolution, this work proves to be an important addition to literature on contemporary Islam." Publishers Weekly

Chapters in-press include a chapter on Islamic spirituality and the internet, and a chapter on the Qur'an and the internet. Details will be posted when the books are published.
