The Role of Cyberspace in Interfaith Dialogue  191
                                                                           /
                   Nowadays, people think there is everything on the
               internet; however, the problem with this habit is that it
               may prevent further investigation on issues, and limit

               research work.
                  Another  problem  with  the  cyberspace  dialogue  is
               the unlimited freedom it gives to all sides involved in
               the  dialogue.  This  freedom  may  lead  very  descent
               people to be antagonistic and very aggressive in their
               approach.  And  this  is  because  they  think  no  one  is
               watching over them.
                  Moreover  the  same  unlimited  freedom  does  give
               some people the guts to even lie about references and
               information, which is sometimes difficult to figure out
               until after the dialogue.

               The Impact of Cyberspace in Interfaith Dialogue
               Undoubtedly,  cyberspace  has  played  significant  role
               in the affairs of the current world. Practical experience
               reveals  that  education  in  the  current  world  without
               cyberspace is almost impossible.
                  In this regard, (Lemke, 1993) writes:
                      “Educational  theory  has  resisted  this  shift,  not
                      surprisingly.  We  can  claim,  against  traditional
                      CAI,  that  human  social  interaction  is  a
                      necessary  element of  education. We  can  claim
                      that  people  interact  with  other  people  in
                      fundamentally        different     ways,     probably
                      necessary  for  learning,  from  how  they  interact
                      with  artifacts  and  natural  objects,  including
                      today’s computers.
