I'm in the process of completing an article that discusses whether and to what extent Muslim-Americans have altered their use of the Internet, after the 9/11 attacks, as a result of a concern that the government is monitoring the online activities of Muslims in the United States. The article, among other things, notes that the Internet has become a vital tool for al-Qaeda and as such is a target of government surveillance measures. This week's issue of the Economist contains an insightful article, entitled "A world wide web of terror," that helps explain why the Internet is al-Qaeda's "best friend." I recommend this article to anyone interested in the intersection of technology and national security.
Also, if there is anyone in the CIS world who may want to review a draft of my article on the post-9/11 Internet usage of Muslim-Americans, please send me an email: dsidhu [at] gmail [dot] com.
