The beginning stages of a new Islamic inspired social networking site has been launched. Muslimface, a website inspired by Islamic values and sharia compliant, has started its beta version with over a thousand users reportedly privately testing the site.
Co-founded by the UK based entrepreneurs Shoaib Fadie and Rohail Shoaib, the site hopes to offer a family friendly online experience. “This social platform is an international project,” said Fadie. “It is designed from a Muslim point of view, but also opens up new opportunities with the rest of the world. It is basically a network by Muslims, through Muslims, presented to the world.”
Targeted for users 13-years and over, the website aims to expand to include versions in several languages including English, Arabic, Urdu, Bahasa (both Indonesia and Malaysia) and Turkish.
Shoaib hopes the sites serves as an “online majlis” where ideas are shared between generations, in addition to a platform “enabling a new generation of Muslims to grow into inspirational leaders.”

Islamophobia definition
A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
