MashaAllah! Great news.
Btw is anyone else having problems with MM’s RSS feed? It doesn’t seem to be loading at all. It’s only for MM – all my other ones are loading fine.

Brass crescent awards are a joke.

We do! Awards like this highlight to us who the Muslim bloggers are, what they are talking about and what issues we are facing globally. It brings to the fore who the new bloggers are.
We all win.

Any recommendations of other award sites focused on Muslims? Most Muslim bloggers are aware of it.

Hey MR (salams)
I visited your “Pop Islam” site and lo and behold the first thing I see on your little website to cash in a few dollars is the following ad:
No ground zero mosquesays William Murray who is chairmanof the Religious Freedom Coalition

Watch this video on http://www.youtube.com
Good job MR. Keep it up. Destroy us from within for a few pennies.

Salaams to all at MM –
mubarak on your well-deserved wins this year! Apologies for not commenting sooner, but my excuse is that I just returned from Hajj and thus have been distracted of late. :)
I’d say in response to detractors ofthe BCA that they serve a purpose in that they highlight the diversity of the Islamsphere. If you disagree with a given winner or nomination, the answer is to submit yoru own nominations and play an active role next year. MM used to be more skeptical of the BCA’s value in the past, until people from MM started nominating MM itself – and the result is that MM is now recognized for its value by a wider audience. I hope Amad can comment on whether there has been any increase in readership or not from the increased exposure of teh Awards.
At any rate, keep p the great work here and good luck next year! :)
regards
Aziz

w/s Aziz. Congrats on your Hajj.
I was definitely more apprehensive about these awards, but I now see much more good in them overall than harm. It’s good to have some sort of recognitions considering the thousands of blogs around. Unfortunately, I don’t have stats on readership increases, but I am sure there is benefit for a well-established award system that is now years old.
Thanks all of you at BCA who put a lot of volunteer hours doing this.

Brass crescent is no King Faisal award. They are promoting some really weird un-islamic pro-regressive liberal junk being passed as Islamic blogs.
After all the award is run by a Shiite.
We, Muslims, need to wake up. Create our own awards.
Aziz Poonawalla
December 3, 2010 at 8:58 AM
I look forward to you launching yruo own awards, then. Be sure to exclude Shi’a, Ahmadis, Sufis, Deobandis, Uighurs, people without beards, women who don’t wear hijab, etc.
In all sincerity, if you do this, I will help you promote it at Talk Islam and my own blog networks.
