MM has been a valuable resource, in fact you’ve got a nicley growing youth fan group who’ve taken to blogging as well.
Jazak Allah Khairan for all your efforts and time, it is very much appreciated!

ProgressiveIslam and Muslimwakup is also on the list.
That’s pretty sad they are also considered “influential”

Sorry, this is totally off topic. I just saw this video:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HYHzUEbnpzA
I just want to know what language is that, its not punjabi for sure (as I understand punjabi) nor hindku (never heard my father speaking language like that). I think it may be pushto, can anyone translate somewhat they are saying.

Congrats.
I think one way to make the blog even more influential is by reaching out to even greater muslim audience than the one it already caters to idealogically.

“…reaching out to even greater muslim audience than the one it already caters to idealogically.”
–I agree w/ the above sentiment FULL FORCE! Once, I had the privilege of meeting a Muslim Eskimo…or an Eskimo-Muslim…or an Indigenous-Native- Eskimo-Muslim, or Yup’ik-Muslim (since he was from Alaska)…
Anyway, I have seen absolutely no representation of our Eskimo/Indigenous brethren on MM. This concerns me. I mean…what message are we conveying to our precious Muslim youth? Could it be that MM hasn’t dealt with critical Eskimo Muslim issues because it is ideologically opposed to whale hunting or living in igloos?
Sometimes I think there is an underlying anti-Inuit bias going on at MM. I would rather see a different policy adapted. Perhaps a new policy at MM:
“From Prince William Sound to Bristol Bay…
Let’s be ideologically inclusive of Inuits EVERYDAY!”

A big apology to my igloo-residing satellite internet-receiving brothers :)
On a more serious note, I think MM has been low on “ideologing”. We have covered a wide range of issues and tried to steer away from those controversial within the sunni ranks. Of course, there will always be some bias on blogs (almost by virtue of being an opinions-portal) but alhmadulilah I feel that our mesaage touches a wide range of muslims from many backgrounds and methodology.
One common cause that we will continue to fight is keeping the tricky proggies at bay and exposing their message for what it is: pandering to the “powers-to-be” and hollow to its core! May Allah help all of us to continue to diffuse to ticking “liberal, proggie” thought-bomb.

Amad proggies aren’t the real danger because most people know they are a bunch of retards.
The real danger are those who quote qur’an and hadith. While at the same time question and reject ahadith based on their own personal understandings. Furthermore, they have a knack for condemning classical Islam.
They are the real danger because they have the ease of acting as perfectly normal muslim and at the same time be able to weaken the community.

abu ameerah, if you can write up an article about your interaction with eskimo muslims i am sure we would be more than happy to post it :)

Salaam, I agree with brother nuqtah here, not only proggies are retard, they have little or no following. And the real danger are indeed people who reject ahadiths that oppose their understanding, or force to interpret (and say that they understand it) the hadith to justify their opinion.
