Although the new media did not necessarily give rise to democracy and multiculturalism in Muslim society, it contributed a great deal to reshaping a sense and structure of public that was already available. An embryo of “public Islam” emerges and poses a challenge to the secularist definition of the boundaries and content of the public sphere.1 In fact, the transparency engendered by the new media provides spaces for cultural encounters on different levels among diverse individuals and increases the scope, intensity, and forms of involvement of the individuals in a multiplicity of overlapping public spheres.
