As salaamu alaikum! This space is EXCLUSIVELY FOR MUSLIMS
If it is not evident on your profile (and it does not have to be) please be sure to confirm that you are indeed Muslim when writing as we are getting a lot of requests, Alhumdulilah!
It is not our intention to make anyone who is not Muslim feel excluded or rejected. Please sign up as a subscriber to our blog, you can learn the most about Islam from us there. Everyone is welcome to join the Muslims in Hip Hop yahoo group. You are welcome to make everyone of our friends your friends too. We showcase Muslim artists, activists, leaders, power movers, etc. so we need to be able to find them in our list, the choice of exclusivity is purely a practical one.
Like all Muslims, we are a very diverse group but we do have a set of morals that are not up for debate. We do encourage Brothers and Sisters to be more conscious of what appears on their page, including comment posts from others. We love all of our Brothers and Sisters in Islam but no matter what their individual struggles, we will not be signing up friends who have sexual content, lewd images, offensive language etc. on their pages. To avoid this ourselves, we have set our own account settings to allow us to approve anything before it is posted on our comments or blog sections. (Account Settings - Privacy Settings - Approve Comments Before Posting).
God willing, this can be a space for Muslims to seek each other out but also to show the general public that many of their favorite artists are actually Muslim, set a good example of what Muslims are about, and inspire others to learn more about Islam.
We look forward to hearing from you!
PEACE!
