especially historical ones, should simply be dismissed because they constitute a misrepresentation of people and situations. They need careful consideration and analysis because they have material impact on people, and representations that they are used to construct may be fantasies, but they are fantasies about real people and are not received by their audiences as fantasies but often as true stories, as the narratives about Hausa-Fulani Muslims in this study have shown. The challenge for practice is how social actors can be enabled to carry out such analysis on their own, and how to utilize the online platform for such objectives. Nonetheless, this study reveals the promise and potential of the online platform to help people cope with, navigate, and transcend the problematics of interreligious tensions and conflicts.
