Tehran:
Iran has announced it would launch an Islamic internet to counter
the influence of the US-dominated world wide web.
"Iran will soon create an internet that conforms to Islamic
principles, to improve its communication and trade links with the
world," Ali Aqamohammadi, head of economic affairs with the Iranian
presidency, told state news agency IRNA.
Aqamohammadi said Iran's new network will operate parallel to the
world wide web and will replace it in Muslim countries in the
region.
"We can describe it as a genuinely 'halal' network aimed at Muslims
on a ethical and moral level."
"The aim of this network is to increase Iran and the Farsi
language's presence in what has become the most important source of
international communication," Aqamohammadi said.
