The correct answer is 4) control and/or limit new technology.

The political Islam's reaction to technological advancements is "control and/or limit new technology."

Muslim countries have not shown an open policy regarding technology and the use of the internet. Many of these countries have a strict policy for overseeing the use people has on electronic devices and the web. One good example could be Iran, and what is happening in this very moment in the capital city of Baghdad, where thousands of young people are taking the streets to protest and the government of Irak has shut down the internet.
