That is certainly a fascinating and provocative argument.  One could certainly 
make the case that  the printing press is what made Martin Luther's conception 
of "democratic" Christianity both conceivable and realizable.

In the same way, both the trackability AND anonymity of the Internet could very 
well lead to a revolution in how Muslims perceive both themselves and Islam.   

It seems highly probably that Islam 50 years from now will look very different 
than it does today.

Of course, it is impossible to say how long and bloody will be the road that 
gets us there…
