The Western Muslim Magazine
The overarching vision of the Magazine is to examine contemporary issues related to the creation of an indigenous Muslim culture in the West. In addition to providing commentary on this process, the Magazine is in and of itself an effort to create an authentic Western Muslim culture.
While we write with passion, our work is based on reason and experience. We respectfully examine tradition and inherited convictions.
