Hi Peder, I think that "hate" is socially generated, cyberspace or not. The web sites only replicate the existing social divisions. I've checked the links you provided, and they don't help me understand the phenomenon of the “Islamic extremists” much. I am not sure if that can be understood without active participation of the other side either and those web sites don't seem to be inviting any such discussion. My point then is that cyberspace will provide answers only to the point already determined (and allowed) in the world outside of it. What do you think? Jarek

From Peder Jensen, Master Student at the University of Oslo, Norway. Charles Ess mentioned searching for hate communities online. Have you tried looking at websites by Islamic extremists? You can track some of them through websites like these:
