Abstract: Influenced by the argument of incompatibility between modernization and religion as advocated by the proponents of secularization theory, some studies suggest that the internet is a harmful product of modernity to religion and its acceptance by religious communities will make religion lose something of what it is supposed to be. This paper, however, argues that it is inaccurate to characterize technological modernization as incompatible with religion; rather, both influence each other and co-exist in fruitful ways. To support this, we analyzed the relationship between religious fundamentalism and new media technology by focusing on Indonesia's Salafi movement and its internet use within the Indonesian context. We explored how the Salafi proponents employ the adopted internet in the frameworks of "cultured technology" and "spiritualizing technology". In doing so, we mainly used textual analysis as the primary method of analysis of Salafi web content and Salafi use of the internet.
