Frustration

// May 20th, 2007 // 14 Comments » // Blog

It's 3.30 in the AM – what i like to call, “silly-o-clock” – and i am still awake. What am i doing up this late, other than typing a quick blog entry? Well, i am trying to find articles for I J T E M A. And it's so hard. So, so hard! Blog search engine results are filled to the brim with Islam-haters and their bile. It's so disheartening; it seems that there are more haters out there than, err, lovers? At least, the haters are more prolific in their writing. Even when i type in Islam-specific terms like “Ummah”, or “Salat”, i get a big pile of hostility in my face. GO! AWAY!

The whole point of I J T E M A is to help cut through the hysteria and highlight the beauty of Islam. There are good Muslim writers to be found, but i feel like they are rare blossoms that are being outpaced and strangled by faster-growing weeds. We need a growth spurt, a dose of Miracle Grow, before the weeds overwhelm us, and we wither in the darkness.

It's an uphill struggle, but struggle we must. May Allāh help us.

I J T E M A

I forgot to mention that Little Miss iMuslim, here, has gone up in the world – for two weeks, anyway. It's my turn to sit in the illustrious Editor's chair at I J T E M A.

Oh, the power!

I also forgot to mention anything at all about this project, before now. So, to make up for this PR blunder, i've dedicated a whole page to it, on my blog.

Now listen guys, i'm a busy girl. In fact, all the contributors at I J T E M A are hard working folk (hmm, that implies that i, too, am hard working – i didn't mean to do that), so we would really appreciate any help from the blogging public, that would make our lives a little easier. Thus, if you spot any decent blog entries on Islam, and/or the Muslims, that you think are worthy of a shout-out on I J T E M A, then please send them in to us, and we'll consider them for publication. You can even be so brazen as to submit your own work. Can you really pass up such a great chance for some major referral hit activity? Thought not.

Now, back to the Editor's Office for me. I really hope that this new found position of influence and authority, doesn't go to my head.

NB: All bribes, kickbacks, and payoffs can now easily be sent to my PayPal account, via my e-mail address, imuslim_uk(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk. Extortion has never before been so easy!
