Les musulmans de Facebook en Côte d’Ivoire : nouvelle voie de socialisation, de da’wa et de mobilisation communautaire

Abstract

This article focuses on the use of digital media in the religious practices of Muslims in Côte d'Ivoire, within the context of increased visibility of Islam in public space since the onset of political pluralism in 1990. It sheds light on the coming of Muslim in the media and digital age, marked by a plurality of channels of communication including Facebook, the social network with the largest amount of users in this West African country. Following a descriptive rather than a theoretical approach, this study analyzes Muslims online activities (meetings, exchanges, da'wa, etc.) through the multiple opportunities offered by Facebook.
