The recent growth of information technology in the digital age has radically changed the way societies interact with one another and how conflicts are articulated and exacerbated, particularly in religiously diverse areas. Online platforms, which were previously discussed as a field of democracy and pluralism, are used to spread hate speech, interpretations of religious ideologies, and polarization of opinion. Digital hate based on religion is unique in its aggressiveness, the level of rallying people to action, and its consequences in the real world.

Digital Hate Speech, Disinformation, and Peace in Religiously Diverse Regions critically explores the role of digital hate speech and religious disinformation in disrupting peace within religiously diverse societies. This book analyzes the mechanics, sources, and consequences of such content while offering empirically grounded and ethically responsible frameworks for resistance, peacebuilding, and digital coexistence. The book also amplifies the voices of underrepresented communities affected by digital religious hate, particularly from the Global South. Covering topics such as digital disinformation, hate speech, and algorithms, this book is an excellent resource for graduate and doctoral students, educators, policymakers, government officials, and more.
