The Western Muslim is a cutting edge online magazine, addressing contemporary issues facing North American Muslim communities and Muslims around the world. The magazine examines the weaving of the Muslim diaspora into the fabric of North American society through the lenses of politics, law, culture, religion, the arts and more. Our vision is to reflect and create the emerging North American Muslim culture by providing uniquely Muslim voices to tell our stories: capturing the trends that are shaping Muslim identity and finding areas of compatibility between the tradition of Islam and our lives in the West.

Formerly known as Inspire Magazine, the Western Muslim is a not-for-profit publication founded by two Canadian university students in 2004. From its origins as a small print publication, the magazine has grown into a burgeoning grassroots organization with readers from coast to coast.
