Muslimmatters.org began in 2007 as a collaboration between various Bloggers and Shuyukh in order to bring attention to issues faced by Muslims, especially in the West. We have focused on issues of Religion, Society, Ethics, Sex Education, Politics, Civil Rights, Family, as well as the random issues that pop up from now and then, all with some ranting and humor mixed in. We challenge ourselves and our readers to engage in discourses that touch our lives as citizens of the West, while maintaining our individual Islamic identities: Ultimately to cooperate, but not to compromise.
Vision Statement
MuslimMatters strives to become the leading Muslim multimedia platform for the articulation and implementation of orthodoxy amidst the unprecedented complexity and unique challenges of contemporary life.
Mission Statement
MuslimMatters is tax-exempt nonprofit organization 501(c)(3)* that provides educational material, social commentary, and religious inspiration related to Islam and Muslims through its group blogging platform, www.MuslimMatters.org.
Primarily addressing Muslims residing in the West; MuslimMatters also serves as a reliable source for non-Muslims seeking information about the faith of Islam and global community of Muslims. We strive to:
- Embody truthfulness and moderation through a commitment to scholarship, creativity, critical thinking, education, and cultural diversity.
- Clarify misrepresentations and mischaracterizations of Islam and their ultimate manifestation in extremism and bigotry.
- Balance productive participation and independent critique within the Muslim community and broader society.
