Recently, I was asked why our communities do not have the proper support network that is needed for new Muslims, disenfranchised Muslims & those who have lost the sense of belonging, my answer: “We do not remember Malcolm X. Malcolm had a system. If we had remembered Malcolm, we would have systems in place. May Allah make us like Malcolm.”

Bullet holes in back of stage where Malcolm X was shot.

Autobiography of Malcolm X. Must Read. Should be on everyone’s bookshelves.

Today, my article about the upcoming GTD (Getting Things Done) web app, Nirvana, was featured on home page of Technorati.com. Here are 2 screen shots:

To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of IslamCrunch, the design team at MQube developed a new look for our site. Welcome to IslamCrunch 3.0. Alhamdulillah.

We have added some jQuery to the site to streamline content and minimize scrolling for the user experience. Micro-blogging on Twitter has been an interesting adventure for us and wanted our readers who are not familiar with Twitter to have a better exposure to our micro posts. The Twitter widget is a customized design that employs their json code (this json format has a special appeal for me, any guesses why?) Besides Twitter, we have highlighted other social networks that we are active on.

We also streamlined the design from a 3 column layout to a 2 column layout. Please add your comments below, your feedback is important to us.
