While saying that Indonesian “Moslem Cyber
Army” is representing Islamic values, we have to
concern about the validity of their sharing, is it fake or
not, or is it repeated from expired cases, or is it
hurting other parties or groups. Islamic values are
peace values, so that by quoting to represent Islam, it
means to represent peace. If an online account saying
reprsent Islamic values, but maintaining hoax or fake
news or hurting other people, it means this online
account is not Islamic and Cyberspace must be
controlled by the nation of the country where the
“false Moslems” are living.
In the context of Indonesia, speaking about Islam is
quite sensitive nowadays, because there is Blasphemy
Law18 that can be applied to anybody who is
regarded to insult Islam, in real life, or in Cyberspace.
