IslamCrunch recently posted about a site which offers one entire page listing rss feeds from various Muslim news, sites, blogs and basically anything related to Islam and Muslims. This is really good to find out what’s hot in the online Muslim ummah. It is also good to find blogging material that or blogs that you never knew existed. The creator of the website is Guy Kawasaki, who was very friendly with me suggesting some sites to add. I told him about MuslimMatters.org, Seekers Digest and some other blogs. You can tweet him here and ask him to add any other Muslim blog or sites that you may not see on the page.
May God bless and guide William! This is his blog here. There is about 13 million people in Malawi, which is located in the Southern Eastern part of Africa. Eighty percent of the population is Christian while 13 percent is Muslim.
Have you used StumbleUpon or heard of it? I’ve been using for months now and it has greatly increased my traffic to my blog, alhamdulillah. They also have many different categories and topics, one of them includes Islam. This is a good opportunity to give a better picture of Islam to a younger audience worldwide that use StumbleUpon. It is also a great dawah tool. The only way it can work successful is if all Muslim Stumblers give a thumbs up for all the Muslim submitted content. For example if you like any of my posts or any other Muslim content online, you should give it a thumbs up and submit it to StumbleUpon. Egyptian Gumbo has written more about this. I highly recommend you to read it here.
On my blog you can click the “Share This” button at the bottom of every post and it will allow you to submit it to many of the social networking and news websites. StumbleUpon is one of them.

This is really cool and something new to the online Muslim ummah: an Islamic toolbar. It began just for the University of Waterloo MSA, but the brother who developed it contacted me and said he is expanding it for all Muslims around the world. It features:
RSS feed of News, Blogs, etc. all related to Islam and Muslims
A radio that features Nasheeds (MR Radio is featured on it)
Nintendo better meet with Johnny Lee and start developing this technology for the market! I have a Nintendo Wii and I’m a big fan of it. I can’t wait to see the potential it has!
This is a reflection based on two things I have recently read: 1) on MuslimMatters.org, bro. IbnAbeeOmar talks about Copyrights and Software Piracy in Islam and 2) bro. Alex showed me this, in which he quoted from the Alhambra Productions site saying they were out of stock due to illegal selling and downloading of an audio set.
To all the Muslim audio/video production companies, piracy will not stop. People are people. Audio tapes and cassette tapes are out dated. CDs are weak. DVDs are the default now. The latest technology in video would be HD-DVDs and Blu-Ray, which are high quality picture and sound better than DVD quality.
So how can Muslim audio and video production companies fight the piracy of lectures and music of Muslim speakers and artists? We have to first look at what the mainstream music industry did to combat piracy.
