| Summary: | This study is ananalysis of the interrelation of fundamentalism and the Internet. Contrary to common assumptions that the Internet is a space of free communication and construction of individuality - and contrary to the assumption of total control - the internal structure of the Web is understood as creating a space structured by hierarchical structures fundamentalist internet use positively accepts.
