Abstract

This article discusses Islamic religious web sites that disseminate information about Islam and religion in Kazakhstan. Currently, most people in the world receive information from the Internet. An analysis of the current religious situation in Kazakhstan allows us to conclude that web sites have great power in disseminating religious information. In this case, it can be said that getting  religious information from unreliable sources can be dangerous for the security of the country. Moreover, the spread of extremism through religious web sites has become one of the most actual problems in the modern Internet zone. The study achieved the following result: most of the youth now turn to web sites for information. Instead of contacting the imams of the mosque or looking for answers in books that have been approved by religious authorities, people take answers from easily accessible and fast Internet. Also in our country, not all religious sites received a positive assessment of religious expertise. This is a clear demonstration of the fact that unauthorized religious information currently poses a real danger to young people.
