Halal hugs and kisses

I can’t believe it’s been one year.  I posted my first blog entry on April 8th, 2008.  Since then we’ve gotten 120 members, 7 admin team members, 62, 939 views to our website and 1604 blog comments. 

This is not counting how many views we get to our forum.  I’m guessing that would bring the number up to 100, 000 views.

It’s wierd to look back at my past posts.  I usually cringe or laugh at what ridiculous things I’ve written!  But here’s what I wrote:

Lately, I’ve been thinking about Greek Muslims more and more. We ARE out there, but where? Every once in a while, I either get an e-mail from a Greek Muslim I’ve never met before or I’ll receive a notice about a new youtube video create by a Greek Muslim. The thing I hate though, is that I try to save all of this stuff in one place but I end up forgetting where it all is.

 

What’s this blog for?

So, I decided to first start a blog for Greek Muslims, if nothing else, where I can collect all of the videos, books, articles etc. about Greek Muslims and post it in ONE place. That’s the purpose of this blog.

 

So, what’s the benefit?

When I first converted to Islam, I wish I had a place to go to online to find out that 1) there ARE other Greek Muslims and 2) connect with them. And so, the benefit of this blog is that this is the online place to find it all.

 

We’ll try our best to keep you updated with all the new videos, articles etc. we find and also try to post up some reflections of what it means to be a Greek Muslim and some of the hardships you might run into with your family.

So, stay tuned and keep coming back for more.

 

We’ve come a long way since then.  Thank God.  And thank YOU for being part of our community.  Halal hugs and kisses.

p.s.  Sorry, but I just couldn’t resist being all lovey dovey for this post!
