Verbrugge: Absence of physical spaces

Animation description:

Interesting about Islam is the nation was defined as a religious community. Not primarily as a physical community, but as a spiritual, religious community. You see that reflected in the ease with which people talk about brothers and sisters here and there. The ummah is a spiritual community. So you could say that Islam and internet in that sense are related. The border-lessness that you get with the internet, and that as globalization also takes place economically, in some odd way relates to the borderless experience of identity that as of old is also part of the ummah. With the danger that internet unleashes atmospheric powers that are no longer tied to a place, but that go through space, so to speak. Computer games are also an example of that, intercontinental playing of computer games, where we call forth powers that get stirred up virtually, but that have repercussions on what happens in actual fact. That is of the challenges of the future: Can we find a balance?
