"Dear Bruce,
"I just saw your blog entry about MuslimSpace (https://www.wired.com/sterling/2007/12/muslimspace-the.html) and thought that you might be interested to find out more about the company behind the service.
"Muxlim Inc. is currently the world’s largest social media for Muslims around the world. The company was first established in Finland (!) and it currently has offices in the Nokia city Espoo, in Birmingham in the UK and in Doha, Qatar in Q1/2008.
"In less than a year our network has gained more than 120.000 registered members and more than a million unique visitors per month. The networks' online services include, among several others, the very popular online community spaces.muxlim.com (previously Muslimspace.com), the file sharing service IslamicTorrents.net, and a video site tv.muxlim.com. All our services can be accessed by our main portal at www.muxlim.com. We have just closed our first round of financing (around $2M) and we will be launching our Arabic services in Q1/2008.
"We are not building religious sites, but rather creating a completely new online environment where the Muslims would feel comfortable to be surfing in.
