Rita King and Joshua Fouts created a virtual world on the Internet’s international Second Life (only 30% of users are in the US) to help viewers understand Islam, as well as a graphic novel and report. The project is called “Digital Diplomacy: Understanding Islam through Virtual Worlds.” King and Fouts point out that new ideas and new leaders are arising in the virtual world, a new path for public diplomacy.
