PANEL DESCRIPTION
The (new) media era is marked by the transformation of piety in
the life of Muslims from the actual-cultural base to the virtual-
material base. The media not only embraces the transfer of
religious knowledge but also takes over the production process of
religious knowledge which is full of political economic interests.
Mediated piety appears in three fundamental processes in the life
of Muslims. First, religion has been reproduced in complex forms
through discourse systems of sound, words, images and
animations into virtual spaces where the existence of religion is
expressed and represented. (300 words)
