“…Digital space should not be dominated by hate speech, intolerance. Everyone must take full responsibility to protect the nation's generation from false understanding (Chan, 2020). The development of religious digital literacy can have a positive impact on the social life of urban Muslim communities.…”

The current era of disruption is marked with the rapid flow of information on the internet, including religious content. The emergence of the internet clearly has a positive influence although there is also a negative impact. This article aims to determine the use of information and communication technology products in the context of religious literacy and religious digital literacy in urban communities in Indonesia. This research is a library research with a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Sources of data in this study came from books and journal articles with a reputation in accordance with the theme or content of the discussion, totaling 58 references and published in the last 5 years. The analysis technique uses content analysis. The findings from the results of this study are that information and communication technology products have been widely used in many sectors of human life, including religion. Users who have gadgets or laptops (PCs) make it a tool for accessing religious content with the help of the internet. This is influenced by the dependence on the internet and a variety of religious content that is increasingly massively spread in cyberspace, especially for urban Muslim communities. Religious digital literacy can be used as a real solution to educate the public about access to digital information. This digital literacy can be used as a provision and foundation for someone to face the current digital era, so that they are not only able to access and find information. But more than that, it is hoped that information can also be validated by referring to the source of origin.

“…The need for explanation is further accentuated in times of crisis, and the media provides relevant answers through the news. Studies that have analysed extremist ideological narratives found that the narratives would likely demonstrate the ingroup members as being deprived of needs or victimized, and violence is the most effective means of retribution (Baugut & Neumann, 2020a, 2020bChan, 2020). In addition, case studies and analyses of extremist groups, both alive and demise, found that the supporters and members of the groups are motivated either by the desire to fulfil those unmet needs or avenge for it (Baugut & Neumann, 2018, 2019Horgan, 2014;Post, 2007).…”

The present study conducted an online experiment to examine whether news frames could cause radicalisation. In the study, 248 participants (age: M = 22.89, SD = 6.77) read and summarised news articles which contained either positive news frames (depict Islamist extremist groups as avengers of the Muslim communities), negative news frames (depict the groups as barbaric), or neutral news frames (news unrelated to Islamist extremism). The analysis revealed an effect of the positive news frames on the acceptance of Islamist extremism, specifically on the attitudes toward Muslim violence by others. The results indicate that news-framing content that narrates the goodness of Islamist extremist group could be a factor in the radicalisation process through media. It is recommended news content regulation is improved especially during times of crisis which could increase the public’s vulnerability to extremism.

“…One case in point is how societies deal with the problem of a stranger, which is both inside and outside of the community. Due to their ambiguity and liminality, strangers are undermining not physical but first and foremost ontological security (Chan, 2020;Huysmans, 1998). To re-inscribe the border between self and other and manage anxiety stemming from indeterminacy, societies and states often securitize abject strangers and turn them into enemies, be it illegal immigrants (Auchter, 2013), women who fraternized with enemy soldiers during the war (Väyrynen, 2019), people with HIV (Frowd, 2014) or other.…”

Ontological security scholarship in International Relations (IR) has predominantly focused on the importance of social environments for the healthy sense of self. However, material environments can also provide an important source of ontological security. In my previous work I have argued that to assume this role of ‘ontic spaces’ material environments need to be discursively linked to states’ self-identity either through projection or introjection. In this article, I draw on the work of Julia Kristeva to argue that ontic spaces can also come about through abjection or the rejection of a material environment from the narrative of the self. I illustrate this theoretical point in the case study of the Serbian Orthodox Church of Christ the Saviour in Pristina. Its construction began in 1992 during the rule of Slobodan Milošević but was never finished due to the Kosovo war in 1998/9. Over the years, as all proposed changes are considered to be a threat to a healthy sense of self of either Serbs or Albanians, the building has been turned into an abjected ontic space, an ambiguous symbol undermining the self/other and victim/oppressor boundaries and as such both repels and attracts, threatens and protects.
