The concept of faith-based diplomacy has been discussed in various political and official circles, and diplomats have made arguments advocating its effectiveness in interfaith and intercultural dialogues. This chapter investigates the arguments surrounding faith-based diplomacy in light of the growing role of religion in politics and the increasing attention dedicated to the potential impact of religion on conflict resolution and reconciliation among various parties involved in state and non-state clashes. The chapter will focus on Islamic diplomacy in the virtual world and how it can be used to alleviate tensions and divisions between Islam and the West, particularly after the events of 9/11. The chapter is not intended to be based on an empirical foundation, but it is a conceptual essay with the intent of shedding light on an issue that has not been sufficiently studied in academic discourse.
