Cyber technology is widely used for the sharing of information and data and to create a
communication to an almost limitless audience. The development of this technology has created a
global network. Cyber technology is multifunctional and has the potential to use as a modern
tool in the warfare. It may also be used by the religious extremist organizations for the
propagation of their religious ideology. The aim of the propagation is to gain the support among
the masses and disseminates the message about the terrorist cause. Cyber technology is relatively
cheap and easy to search and recruit the like-minded people from all over the world. It also helps
in the financing, propaganda, training and incitement to commit acts of terrorism. Through the
use of cyber technology the access to the youth is very easy and they are vulnerable to be
radicalized in a few minutes. The benefits of the cyber technology are numerous, starting with its
unique suitability for sharing information and ideas, which is recognized as a fundamental human
right. It must also be recognized that the same technology may be used for the terrorist purpose or
to disseminate the hatred and violence in the society. The use of cyber technology for the
purposes of radicalization and terrorism creates a challenge in the fight against terrorism.
