| description | Deception in online content is not uncommon. This
research focuses on investigating deception in the context of
online-Islamic content. Previous studies have shown that some of
the online content claiming to be about Islamic values, ethics and
ideology is in fact aimed at deceiving people about the truth of
Islamic ideologies, values and ethics. Through content analysis,
several websites with Islamic content were evaluated to identify
criteria of deception. The study was conducted with 24
respondents. Nine main scaled items were generated and tested
using correlation analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Descriptive statistics show that the content of Islamic websites
may reveal whether the website in question is deceptive or
otherwise; background knowledge of Islam aided identification of
deceptive websites. The use of a single-informant method and
focus on selected Islamic websites are some of the constraints of
this study. Future research may consider incorporating a
multiple response method, longitudinal design and covering
samples across different countries. |
